2025 Nebula Awards - Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of Association

Know anybody on the list?

Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when the Panzermobile was suddenly shaken by clapping and cheering outside. Following all the noise took our kitty pilot to the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) site.

 

There he discovered the SFWA had posted the winners and nominees in the nine Nebula Awards categories.

 

Note: This is a long list. You'll need to decide what to bring to snack on.

Authors Guild Looks at Why Author Incomes Are in Decline - Publishers Weekly

I need a nap after all today's traveling.

Panzer's last stop today was at the Publishers Weekly site. There he discovered a post about authors' income.

 

According to the post, the Authors Guild commissioned a study to determine why authors income is declining. The study found among other factors that not as many people buy books anymore. The post includes links to other information.

 

Panzer says, "This little kitty wonders if anybody looked at the cost of traditionally published books as a factor. They cost a lot of kitty treats."

 

Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's snack.

A Panzerism

 Panzer on duplication:

 

Mom thinks, if she says a word twice, it's easier for cats to understand. 

 

I mean when she wants my attention, she says, "Here Kitty, Kitty." I know I'm a Kitty. Maybe, I just don't want to come over there right now.

Kitty-Kitty. Geez.

 Or, she'll toss the toy mouse and say, "Go get your mouse, mouse." Well, it's a toy mouse. Duh. Maybe, I just don't want to chase it right now.

 

Get it? I understand you. I just don't want to do it. So don't double the words Okay Mom-Mom?
