In July 2013, I served as the “editor-in-residence” for the Codex Writing Group, which meant basically I was asking a month-long AMA (“Ask Me Anything”) interview. With Codex’s permission, I’m re-posting the Q&As here on my blog. The questions were all provided by members of Codex.

Do you ever get Editor’s Block?

I wouldn’t call it editor’s block, certainly, but there have been occasions where I had a hard time making up my mind about a story. What I do in those situations is usually solicit a lot of different feedback from my staff and slush readers, in the hopes that one of them will say something in their comments that will crystallize things for me and/or I’ll get enough of a sense of consensus that it will help me get off the fence.

From October 1 – October 31, I’ll be running a Kickstarter campaign for a new project called HELP FUND MY ROBOT ARMY!!!, an anthology of improbable, futuristic, magical, & alternate-world crowdfunding projects. Please check it out, consider backing it, and, if you’re so inclined, spread the word!
