Pack Up Your Troubles by A. M. Soto

By Ada Soto | July 19, 2017 | Category geekness, writing

There are authors out there who are brimming with so many ideas they are able to write every single one of their books in the exact same genre. I actually heard one author of my acquaintance say ‘I’ve got a great idea but it’s not in my genre’. I’m not one of those authors. My plot […]

In Defense of Plaid Pants and Faded T-shirts

By Ada Soto | October 7, 2015 | Category geekness

Notice, this will contain spoilers for the last few seasons of Doctor Who, though if you haven’t been watching Doctor Who you probably don’t care about this in the slightest. In the past couple of weeks I’ve gotten the impression that I am possibly one of the only people on the entire internet who actually […]

MM and the Midsized Fandom

By Ada Soto | September 4, 2015 | Category geekness, writing

Let’s start with stating that this is all my personal opinion. M’kay? I recently attended my first writing conference. It was put on by the Romance Writers of New Zealand and it was absolutely lovely. Everyone was nice and supportive and there were lots of great speakers. I knew going into it that I would […]

The One Where I Admit to Never Having Seen an Episode of Friends before Yesterday

By Ada Soto | August 13, 2015 | Category geekness, writing

Yesterday I watched an episode of Friends all the way through. This is something worth mentioning because despite being on air for a solid decade I never saw it. I wasn’t actively avoiding it. I have nothing against the show or the actors on it. I’ve seen bits and pieces of it. I’ve just never […]

My Mother, Myself, My Daughter, and Spock

By Ada Soto | February 28, 2015 | Category geekness, parenting

I was woken up at seven this morning by a text from my mother informing me that Leonard Nimoy had died and that she was crying in her office. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve seen my mother cry and I don’t have to use all my fingers. Star Trek […]

Fandom, Friendship, and The Next Generation

By Ada Soto | July 16, 2013 | Category geekness, parenting

(I know this is meant to be a blog about writing but if you follow my twitter, @adamariasoto, you’ll know the reason for the extended brain fade. This is the first attempt at putting fingers to keyboard in months and will probably be a little rambley and disjointed.) I was not popular in school, and […]

On Rediscovering My People

By Ada Soto | November 1, 2011 | Category geekness

Like most people I misspent my teens and early 20s. However, instead of sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll, it was Renaissance Faires, SciFi Conventions, Dungeons and Dragon and weekly Magic the Gathering game nights. There might have been a little sex in there but for a stretch my chaotic neutral half elf mage was […]

The Science Fiction Cherry

By Ada Soto | October 20, 2011 | Category geekness, writing

Let’s get this out of the way right now. I am a nerd. I was raised by a trekkie. I was a trekkie and lurker simultaneously. By fifth grade my two favorite shows were The Prisoner and Red Dwarf. I was reading Bradbury when other girls were reading Babysitters Club. I was the first kid […]
