Tighty Writie: September 2011

http://tightywritie.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

The transformation of thoughts into words. Friday, September 23, 2011. The power of words. Excuse me.*clears throat*. moves soapbox into position. Words have amazing power. They have the power to lift us up or shoot us down. They bring warmth or freezing cold based on how they are spoken. Words can teach and words can exasperate. Words matter. When my 8 year old came home with a math worksheet we reviewed it like all parents do. Here is one of the math problems:. Explain how you know. Monday, September 1...

Der Buchwald: For writers

http://rose-green.blogspot.com/2007/06/for-writers.html

Rose Green, YA author. Saturday, June 30, 2007. This is for people who want to write a children's/YA book, or at least find out how the whole process works . First, a quick word on what children's/YA books are not. They are. Preachy sermons ( Struwwelpeter. Doesn't fly these days, sorry). Excuses for giving kids guilt trips (How Tommy Conceded His Mom was Right, and Cleaned Up His Room). Long, badly-metered rhymes about Timmy Teapot and Patsy Potholder. So what makes a. That is a subjective question!

Create words your audience can’t wait to read. July 29, 2014. The importance of setting in first person POV stories. Don’t let your readers get lost! A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that many writers sort of assume that the reader knows who is telling the story, especially if it’s telling a true story. If you haven’t read that post, you might want to read it first. And where you are. In other words, you need to identify the story’s setting. But when the story is about a normal day in your life, or a re...

Imagine the US in such a state - if the Republicans won the White House, every Democrat in the country could be considered a criminal. In power and the party that now. Stumble young Margery Dashlyn and her noble fiancé, Robert Alleine, heir to the earl of Weston. In fear of...

Just Tell the Story!: Rants, Revisited

http://justtellthestory.blogspot.com/2013/01/rants-revisited.html

Just Tell the Story! Sunday, January 20, 2013. Yesterday my local writing group critiqued a number of pieces, some long, some short. Yes, one of them was mine. I appreciate the feedback the other members give me, the "this doesn't work for me and here's why" or "I'm liking this more all the time". One post, however, was labeled an essay. It read more like a blog post.or a rant. You get the drift. It deteriorated from there, and we ended without a meeting of the minds or with any idea our fellow write...

Thoughts, ideas, and insight from a young writer of fantasy. Thursday, 19 June 2008. Things Learned from Videogames: Balancing Difficulty. As for how this applies to writing books, well, let's give it a shot, shall we? So step one, people don't like to get frustrated. Step two, things that are too difficult can be frustrating. Okay, so then we've established that people don't like books that are too easy or too hard. The goal, therefore, must be to land somewhere in-between. To achieve balance. But there...

Thoughts, ideas, and insight from a young writer of fantasy. Friday, 16 September 2011. I'm not after fame and fortune, I'm after you." - Rise Against, From Heads Unworthy. Every so often, I find something created by someone else that's so wonderful that I think it needs to go in the locker even though I had nothing to do with it.
