And dialogue is my Achilles heel. A very high heel…=)

My first drafts are walls of text with almost zero dialogue. At most you'll find thing like "after the massacre they talked about the events of the day as if it were the most normal thing in the world", and lots of details about the world they live on…=)

#WritersCoffeeClub #Writing 08 Do you agree with Michael Moorcock, who said: "Ignore all proffered rules and create your own, suitable for what you want to say"?

Yep. But first you must learn the rules, that aren't that bad sometimes. As Picasso (supposedly) said:

Learn the Rules Like a Pro, So You Can Break Them Like an Artist.

I like the interpretation of Moorcock's words as "Take whatever works (of my process) for you"

=)

Very pleasantly surprised to find a short story acceptance in my e-mail. (For a story I sent on on the first day of the year because I superstitiously wanted to start the year as I meant to continue it, so that worked out.) Too soon to post details, but story acceptance is always a good moment.

If you see a long German or Swedish word, first of all, don't panic. It's more scared of you than you are of it. Secondly, take a closer look and you'll see it's actually just three normal words in a trenchcoat, huddling together to deter predators (French and English).

The doubling in the price of cocoa would have pushed up the price of cocoa in a typical snack bar by just six cents.

Remember the #StarTrek #DS9 episode "Far Beyond The Stars" where the cast all played Golden Age SF writers? I'd like to have seen them all continue that as a historical series. RIP several of them, some wonderful performances in a SF doing SF history meta-thing.

Merry Christmas, all, in whatever form you celebrate it. May you have the best possible day.

just watched the new Doctor Who episode, The Star Beast, three times in a row!! i loved it so much! 💖 it made me gasp and laugh and cry, and it was a little bit cheesy in the best possible way. and i delighted so hard in having the Doctor and Donna (my King & Queen) back together. 💕
