Basically, if you think you’re an expert you’ll continue to do things the way you know how to do them, and may even subtly resist any other way.
This applies to creativity in general.

My story “Aspiration Value” (http://compellingsciencefiction.com/stories/aspirationvalue.html) shows virtual assistants (“assists”) giving users visual cues as they go about their daily lives, directing their attention according to what their algorithms calculate are the users’ best interests.
I don’t, at any point, talk about the hardware side of how that happens; it’s just there, because the interesting part is the effect of the technology, not the form of it.
My wife and I are making our way through Person of Interest on Netflix, and it’s struck me how the characters walk around in different parts of the city talking to each other just as a matter of course. That’s something that you couldn’t have put in a show set in the present just ten or so years ago, but now we accept it as a common convention – and it makes a huge difference to how stories unfold, and how the characters interact. How much more so if they could call up images of each other?

Make no mistake. This is where we are headed with personal technology. The smartphone that is today an extension of so many of us, will quickly, in a few short years, transform us all into cyborgs. Whether you see that as the end of humanity, or the next step in our evolution, is a question I leave to you.

Having practiced as a hypnotherapist, I have an interest in (non-pharmacological) altered states of consciousness. I want to do more with them in fiction, too. I have a short story on the cook about a technologically enabled shared dreamspace, for example, though at the moment it’s mostly a parable of social media.

This was my first semiprofessional sale, but the anthology I sold it to is no longer available, so I thought I’d put it up on my website.
It’s a mashup of Damon Runyon; detective noir; and sword and sorcery, three odd tastes that go oddly together. What originally sparked it off was reading (or partly reading, because I got bored and didn’t finish) a book about a dwarf noir detective that lacked the compelling voice of noir and instead plodded along in the manner of poorly-written epic fantasy. I thought, “I can do better than that!” and… well, this is the result.
I’ve since read Ari Marmell’s much better noir fae detective books. This story probably wouldn’t have existed if I’d read them first, because he does it right.

There’s a fan theory about Murder, She Wrote that says that Jessica Fletcher committed all the murders herself and expertly framed other people for them. How else to explain why a prosperous middle-aged widow who lives in a small town in Maine encounters so many murders wherever she goes?
As a fellow writer, though, it’s obvious to me that each episode depicts Jessica’s writerly imaginings: “What if this person I just met was murdered? How might that work out?”
