Staring into Space is a Valid Approach to Problem Solving. Usually.

Rick: Having fun? Me: Er. Define ‘fun’. Writing is fun, yes? And banging my head against the wall seems to be an integral part of writing. Q.E.D. It’s not that the ceiling of my living room is fascinating. It’s not. It isn’t even among the top five most interesting ceilings I’ve had. There are no […]

Even in Fiction Climaxing Early is Not Cool

I have concern. I’m afraid the climax of Wizards is going to come too soon. I’m afraid the first act, those first four hours, will be too short to be a book but if I add their second adventure it will be too long. And I have to account for the fact that it will […]

First Person, Third Person, Or What in the World Am I Doing?

April 5, 2012 by

So yesterday, because my brain was stupid and apparently didn’t want me to write the argument that I was supposed to be writing, I rewrote the first chapter of Wizards into the third person. Just to see what it would look like. The answer is, the first half looks pretty good. Not so sure about the […]

Nothing to See Here. Moving Right Along.

I am having a problem with sucking. Much sucking today. And yesterday. Yesterday was awful. I wrote some things but I’m pretty sure they were dreadful. I don’t really want to look at them, I’m afraid I’ll be ashamed of myself. Editing never works when I’m in this mood because everything I’ve ever written seems […]

My Neurosis: Let Me Show You It

April 3, 2012 by

People seem to like Wizards better than Path. What’s with that? I’m trying to decide whether I should be offended on behalf of my first-born, or excited that my skills are improving. Is it just that it’s new and shiny? That there are more explosions?* Maybe I should just write it off as the people […]

Two’s Company, Three’s the Musketeers. Love All, Trust Me.

I’m not sure I’m ready for it to be Monday. In case you’re feeling the same I thought I’d share some distractions with you. This is Shakespeare or Batman? You would think that the difference between these two illustrious personages was dramatic enough that one could not readily be mistaken for the other. Turns out, not […]

Time to Submit

Today is Friday. Which is taking me a little bit by surprise as for some reason I spent most of last night and yesterday evening convinced today was going to be the weekend. But this is good. It means I have one more day to avoid making final decisions about what I’m going to submit […]

The For-God’s-Sake-Put-the-Book-Down-and-Walk-Away Approach to Editing

March 29, 2012 by

I just found a plot hole in the second book of Path. It’s tiny really, but I’m still sitting here thinking, How did no one notice that? How did I not notice that? I have to rewrite all of, oh, two paragraphs, so it’s not a problem at all. Except for the way it makes […]
