I write fantasy because reality is too beautiful to bear.

.@SCMouse I think I prefer you just read my drafts? You've inspired me to write a new story: The Case of the Giant Cheese

I'll try to make it out to Expo 67 in Montreal, though I've always found geodesic domes confining: http://t.co/lZkUpf80 HT @PeteCampbell_NY

Okay I've got a title: "Final Flight of the Skyward Express". Gotta get cracking on the writing...

[Dave Algonquin @Dave_Algonquin]

Gives me an idea for a story idea for a rocket ship ride to Heaven though. Would that be disrespectful?

[Dave Algonquin @Dave_Algonquin]

Thinking about someone who took his own life recently. Life must've been truly awful for him to prefer the undiscovered country.

Not even spacemen would wear those patterns! RT @SCMouse This is the future: Shirt Ads From The 1970s http://t.co/LuEgx92J

. @Paul_Kinsey Good luck in Hollywood! I heard you wrote a Star Trek script on race relations. Seems right up their alley!

[Dave Algonquin @Dave_Algonquin]

Look for my latest story in next month's Galaxy: "A Homecoming on Mars". I'm expecting it to be a bit controversial.

[Dave Algonquin @Dave_Algonquin]

My thoughts go out to the families of Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee, who sacrificed their lives so we can one day touch the moon.

Watched some of "Buzz" Aldrin's 2-hr(!) Gemini 12 spacewalk on TV. Amazing what we've accomplished this decade. Onward to Apollo!

[Dave Algonquin @Dave_Algonquin]

Thus the day job! :) @Fainting_Couch: I wonder if @Dave_Algonquin has to write dreck like Dark Shadows scripts to supplement his income.

[Dave Algonquin @Dave_Algonquin]

Has everyone been watching "Star Trek"? A Russian crew member! I don't know if I share its optimism, but I like it. :)

[Dave Algonquin @Dave_Algonquin]

@PeteCampbell_NY But it's a space where everyone gets along! Mostly...

[Dave Algonquin @Dave_Algonquin]

Went to see Fantastic Voyage with my wife. What a wonderful vision! (And not just Rachel Welch's disintegrating outfit..)

[Dave Algonquin @Dave_Algonquin]

@nutco Thanks for the kind words. :)

[Dave Algonquin @Dave_Algonquin]

Congratulations to NASA and the Gemini X team for their successful mission last month. The 3rd manned space docking! Moon, here we come!

[Dave Algonquin @Dave_Algonquin]

@nguzan My first story will be out in next month's Analog!

[Dave Algonquin @Dave_Algonquin]

.@notzombies collected my friend Ben Hargrove's covers and mocked one up for me: http://t.co/pOGdEeUl I haven't been published yet!

[Dave Algonquin @Dave_Algonquin]

@mikepriceinla I have no idea what you're talking about. Ben is just a friend, and I haven't published any novels yet!

[Dave Algonquin @Dave_Algonquin]

@jessedarland Haha I wish! It hasn't won any awards yet. It won't even be published until next month!
