Nancy Kress: Writing my YA Mars short story was like “shitting rocks”

A sign of her modesty and sense of humor, award-winning science fiction and fantasy author Nancy Kress revealed on her blog that writing her forthcoming young adult SF short story about teenagers on Mars was like “shitting rocks.” The story, whose title has not yet been revealed, was submitted to Australian editor Jonathan Strahan for Life on Mars: Tales from the New Frontier, a YA near-future anthology scheduled to be published in 2010.

Respectfully, perhaps Kress and Strahan should title the story "Shitting Rocks."
