Always aim to become really good at what you do. Never aim for an award. Maybe the latter will arrive and maybe it won’t, but if your personal fulfillment comes from simply leveling up your skills, it won’t matter.

Locus listed 2,116 titles in 2025; not a comprehensive "all SFF books published" but a fair chunk
So. Many. GREAT books, stories & more will never win an award.
Not for lack of deserving
But for the imperfect nature of awards.
If you didn't land on a list?
You are still AWESOME!
Stay awesome!❤️🔥
