Musings: August 2014
http://budsparhawk.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 30, 2014. A month ago I decided to NOT WRITE while on vacation in England and France in order to get away from obcessing on the multiple short story drafts and the two 98% completed draft novels on my desk. I wanted to take a breather from thinking. So I could bring renewed energy and commitment to the work. Best to step away from the art for a bit, said I. Gives rise to new ideas for a Sam Boone or two. To be a writer on this trip but simply to enjoy the moments. This exercise has t...

Musings: Thoughts On the Fiftieth Nebula Awards
http://budsparhawk.blogspot.com/2015/04/thoughts-on-fiftieth-nebula-awards.html
Monday, April 20, 2015. Thoughts On the Fiftieth Nebula Awards. Soon the tribe of misfits, dreamers, and outcasts will gather in Chicago for the 50th Annual Nebula Awards. Think about that for a moment - Fifty Fucking Years! Lord-a-mercy, could Damon Knight have ever foreseen such an event when he passed the hat to create the Science Fiction Writers of America IN 1965? Of our community will flow into the banquet for the presentation of the beautiful lucite Nebula trophies to the top vote-getters in each ...

http://budsparhawk.blogspot.com/2015/05/pantsing-vs-plotting-redux.html
Sunday, May 10, 2015. Pantsing vs Plotting Redux. To be perfectly clear, the discussion on pantsing vs plotting has been ongoing since our first fateful discussion at Capclave. Since then w. E’ve given several talks on our differences at various science fiction conventions. If you are at one of these you might drop into our panels to perhaps get a more detailed explanation of how we use our writing tools for pantsing and plotting . Jamie Todd took exception in his blog. Case in point, he said:. He furthe...

Musings: October 2014
http://budsparhawk.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. For the past year I have been struggling with two novels and a shit-pile of short pieces, torturing myself over how to resolve the plot arcs. Was I avoiding doing the final 2% necessary to finish the first draft because I didn't have a clue of what to do or was there something deeper that prevented me from finding the resolution? I'll never understand this writing business. Links to this post. Saturday, October 25, 2014. Almost) Reaching Plotland's Destination. Finally, after bl...

Musings: Validation
http://budsparhawk.blogspot.com/2015/04/validation.html
Saturday, April 18, 2015. Some authors say they write for the thrill of telling a tale well, or the "feel" of molding words into some final, perfect form. Others are in it for adulation and income that derives from their luck, talent and/or skill. Almost every writer would agree that the story-telling craft is an art form. But what is the value of art if no one views it? Fans, and infrequently, income. While there is a monetary value to be achieved from writing well, success in writing is more than a mat...

Musings: Despoiling the Commons
http://budsparhawk.blogspot.com/2015/04/despoiling-commons.html
Saturday, April 11, 2015. We live in an interconnected world where peoples of diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and dispositions rub up against one another all of the time and, quite often, in uncomfortable ways. Most develop an insulating layer about their own constellation of beliefs and understandings that enable them to live with, but not accept those who believe otherwise. It's a large playing field and there is sufficient room for everyone. Thanks for reading my blog! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Friday, May 22, 2015. It's funny how the mind works. After struggling with this short story that became a novelette, then a novella, and seems now doomed to wind up as a short novel for nearly a year, I can finally see the end. Not the ending. But the end of the struggle to escape the entangling plot threads that I'd wound into what appeared to be a Gordian knot. That's when something clicked. It just has to be done. Links to this post.
