Aaron M. Wilson, The Soulless Machine Review, interviews himself:

Question: What’s up with the lack of reviews?

Answer: I have enjoyed focusing on other people’s writing for the last two-plus years, but it is time that I focus on my writing. I’m a writer. I write short stories and pretend to work on novels. Several of the interviews that I’ve read or listened to over the past month with authors of published works have all pointed me in the same direction:

STOP READING

AND

START WRITING

I only have so much time in the day, and I’ve been using my free time to feed my addiction. I love to read, and because I’m an addict, I will likely continue to read. When I come across something important, something that inspires my writing, I will report here on The Soulless Machine Review.

Question: So, what will become of The Soulless Machine Review?

Answer: If you are looking for review, I suggest that you check out other review sites. What I, in all likelihood will post, will be short attempts at fiction (See DAILY DRABBLE). So, again if you are looking for a review of short sorties, here are two sites that I recommend: Adventures in Reading and 51 Stories.

Question: Are you reading something now?

Answer: Of course! I’m an addict remember. Right now, I’m chewing on several things: “Ecology and the End of Postmodernity,” “The Monkey Wrench Gang,” “Evolution,” and a stack of unread “Analog.”

Question: Are you still accepting submissions for review?

Answer: Yes, but! – I will only accept individual short stories from authors that solicit me directly, and I make no promises that a review will be posted.

Question: What are you working on now?

Answer: I just finished a seven-page outline for a novel. I’m going to plug away at that for awhile. Anyway, I have to get ready for work. Thank you for taking time with me this morning, but I have to go.

But before I go, a big thank you to all of the readers and subscribers out there!

Sincerely,

Aaron M. Wilson – The Soulless Machine Review
