I like to write. Nothing published (not in this decade anyway) and nothing especially deep, but I like the science fiction genre in particular. So I have to research and dig and learn and think and sweat my brain HARD to make my characters, who I prefer to be smart, competent people, sound smart and competent.

What they do in minutes takes me days to formulate. I like smart characters, but sometimes I effing hate writing smart characters.
