Rambly one today, folks. I thought up this one a while ago, but I had other blog posts in the queue and I didn’t manage to get it written while I was still having Feelings about it, so I’m not sure how compelling it will be to read now, but here we go.
In case you haven’t guessed, this is another personal one, folks. But it is writing-related as well, I promise. Continue reading “No End Lines”
Since it seems like recently I’m on a spree of writing all the blog posts I vaguely hinted at in previous posts but hadn’t written up until now. Sorry about the sequel barrage – I promise I’ll start coming up with actually new content soon. Continue reading “Art as Product vs. Art as Idea”
So, in that little poll I did, people did say they were interested in reading me talking about my process for writing, so here’s a quick one on that topic, just an update. I am also aware that most people wanted posts about general writercraft but it’s been a long week and this is what I have right now. I’ll try and get back on topic next week. Continue reading “New Technique: Thoughts”
Is that title the writing-blog equivalent of clickbait? Am I baiting clicks? Well, never mind. The title’s there now and I guess it’s staying. Continue reading “Killing Your Darlings”
I was at Conflux this weekend just gone, so I sort of wish I had something more insightful to say – more on the side of the posts it seems I used to be able to just churn out discussing technique or grammar nuances or paragraph structure (though to be perfectly honest, I sometimes fear going back and reading those because I know many of my opinions have changed dramatically.) But that isn’t exactly what I have today. I’m getting a bit more personal today, as seems to be the case on this blog recently. Continue reading “Best Laid Plans”
I was at Continuum Convention all weekend, so I’ve been talking to people about all sorts of things literary and interpretation-related. And then I got home, had my traditional bout of con flu, and therefore played games for a couple of days. So hold onto your hats, kids, this is an esoteric one. Continue reading “Narrative Meaning Under External Influence”
And I’m trying to get all the thoughts on my blog, in-stead of being lazy.
It was stuck in my head after I thought of that title and congrats/you’re welcome, now it’s stuck in yours as well. Continue reading “In Too Deep”
So, with some other things out of the way, I’m starting to get back into the rewrite. And one of the things I’m doing at the moment is recalibrating. Continue reading “Edit Pass Live: Another Timeline”
Writing the update that I posted recently, I wanted to also post a little ramble about the way I go about things. You may have noticed that I’ve been talking about a few different projects at the moment. And I have been jumping around more than normal. Continue reading “The Multiple Projects Process”
This is a musing stemming from the edit pass I’m doing. I’ve been working on a lot of the daily life sort of stuff, which means looking at what sorts of food characters should eat, or what sort of materials their clothes are made out of. Continue reading “What’s in a Name?”
