Polished Bones: November 2011

Adventures in short story and novel writing with Breanna R. Teintze. Friday, November 4, 2011. Why I Don't NaNo. This is not meant to discourage anyone who IS NaNo-ing, by the way. Good luck to you, and I admire you! I don't think it's immoral to NaNo. You go for it! This is manifestly absurd when you state it, but I think it's accurate. So you tried NaNo and it didn't work out? Try again next year, and push through. Who cares if you write drivel, just get it on the page! For such people NaNo is a terrib...

Polished Bones: December 2012
http://polishedbones.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Adventures in short story and novel writing with Breanna R. Teintze. Wednesday, December 26, 2012. I know, I know. It's been almost a year since I posted here last. I mean, I could write about my writing process over and over, but that seems pretentious, not to mention a bad use of time. I could be writing novels with that time spent explaining to you that my characters show up in my head and start doing things without explaining to me why, and that novel writing is a process of chasing them. I don't hav...

Polished Bones: On Waiting
http://polishedbones.blogspot.com/2013/04/on-waiting.html
Adventures in short story and novel writing with Breanna R. Teintze. Thursday, April 4, 2013. Really Tom Petty has it : "Don't let it kill ya, babe, don't let it get to you.". It is always possible, of course, that they have lost my manuscript, hate shapeshifters, or for some other reason will never respond to me. I have just as many paranoid thoughts as the rest of you; I just try to squish them.). Apart from running the great blog Pub Rant, they got back to me (with a rejection, alas, but polite! Pleas...

Adventures in short story and novel writing with Breanna R. Teintze. Thursday, December 19, 2013. Gosh, Kind of a Lot Has Happened Since Then - Plus Books! There's a scene in the movie The Rock. It goes like this:. Carla: [after telling Stanley she's pregnant] You didn't mean what you just said, did you? Carla: Just right now, when you were talking about bringing a child into the world, and having it be an act of cruelty. Stanley: I meant it at the time. Carla: Stanley, "at the time"? An anthology of lov...

Polished Bones: February 2013
http://polishedbones.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Adventures in short story and novel writing with Breanna R. Teintze. Tuesday, February 5, 2013. It's not often that I find a new series that I can get excited about, but I found one the other day. Only I can't tell you what it is yet. I submitted a short story to an anthology project. Then I did something unusual for me: I started poking around to see what I could find out about the anthology's editor. I discovered he's an accomplished novelist in his own right, and in a moment of curiosity (prompted...

Adventures in short story and novel writing with Breanna R. Teintze. Thursday, December 8, 2011. How to Make a Million Dollars. Do you ever get the feeling you've kind of been misled by a book? I don't necessarily mean that the author used an unfair twist ending- the lame kind, like you find out the main character has been dead/a vampire/the murderer/an alien the whole time. I mean feeling misled by the packaging. About the same time I learned that, technically, an epic. Were not actually reading the boo...
