I’m not always this cynical…. December 11, 2013. 8230; but that doesn’t mean this doesn’t ring with a bit of truth. How many male SFF writers does it take to change a lightbulb? Ten volume epic fantasy series praised for redefining the genre; all the villains have brown skin, and every female character is either raped, murdered or psychologically broken by the finale]. From What Happens Next: A Gallimaufry. Warning: Quite a bit of profanity in the original post). December 11, 2013 at 11:34 pm.

A Bird Going East – Rebekah Haskell

http://www.rebekahhaskell.com/2013/10/a-bird-going-east

A Bird Going East. October 8, 2013. I will admit that in almost every case, I will overlook poetry in favor of prose. There are, however, a couple of poets I keep an eye on. One, who I refer to on the blog fairly regularly, is my good friend Ashley Capes. The other is James Hutchings, another Australian poet. Hutchings usually writes in very strictly metered verse that reminds me of the older classic poetry I first learned to enjoy as a child, such as Abdul Abulbul Amir by Percy French. Most recently, a ...

The Curious Case of the Nameless Character – Rebekah Haskell

http://www.rebekahhaskell.com/2013/08/the-curious-case-of-the-nameless-character

The Curious Case of the Nameless Character. August 31, 2013. Recently, I listed opening a book with a nameless character as one of the 5 Reasons I Put Your Book Down. In comments, I was asked to elaborate a little more for the benefit of those who are wondering why it’s such a big deal. I attempted to answer in comments, but (in classic form) my answer grew a bit beyond its context. Believe the technique of not naming your characters can be risky one–and when I think it can work:. First, a few points:.

In which I subvert my nature and become a morning person… – Rebekah Haskell

http://www.rebekahhaskell.com/2014/03/in-which-i-subvert-my-nature-and-become-a-morning-person

In which I subvert my nature and become a morning person…. March 1, 2014. I’ve always been a night owl. 10pm rolls around and suddenly I’m full of ideas and a burning desire to start projects and be creative. This is especially true for my writing, since the late evening is generally the only part of my day that offers any quiet or solitude. What do you mean? I just woke up! So, earlier this week I tried a little experiment. Instead of getting up at 8, I got up at 5. Crazy, right? The sun wasn’t up...
