If I had a penny for every time new writers made this mistake, I'd be richer than Amanda Hocking. You know what I'm talking about: punctuation. Specifically, punctuation involving quotation marks. I can't believe it." She said. That's because in this case, "she said" is just clarifying that she, in fact, said it. This gives us:. So, to recoup: c...

L.O.L.W.H.A.T.: Economic Fiction: Purpose and Principles
http://lunaticwriters.blogspot.com/2011/04/economic-fiction-purpose-and-principles.html
A community of like-minded (and slightly deranged) writers. See the world through our eyes. Wednesday, 13 April 2011. Economic Fiction: Purpose and Principles. Last week I introduced you to economics. As a subject. I also promised you I'd explain how to use economics to improve your fiction. We begin with behavior. Have you ever done anything completely randomly? If you said yes, I'd question you. Well, I went to the movie just because I felt like it! So that brings me to my principle of economics:.

Writing a tense action sequence? What should be tense and immediate wanders slowly to an ending like an explosion in slow-motion. The truth is it’s not difficult to make your action scenes stand out, if you keep a few things in mind. For me, the discovery of the concept of the MRU. Keep the danger immediate and real. Don’...

L.O.L.W.H.A.T.: There is Nothing quite as wonderful as Money, Money, Money
http://lunaticwriters.blogspot.com/2011/07/there-is-nothing-quite-as-wonderful-as.html
A community of like-minded (and slightly deranged) writers. See the world through our eyes. Wednesday, 6 July 2011. There is Nothing quite as wonderful as Money, Money, Money. One of my friends is completely and utterly baffled at the fact that I don't want to write for a living. If I do those things, that's a great side effect. If you do, good for you. But that's not why I write. Long story. I'll try to sum it up. It's incredibly pathetic, but I got broken. In the past, I've forgotten why I write; j...

Has two things on her site which confuse me: two projects she notes on her list of other writing as being embarrassing to her. It took me a few minutes to work out why, because I couldn't fathom putting forth anything by my best. Came out after her death, as did Robert Heinlein's For Us, The Living. 12 July 2011 at 08:28. I keep all m...

Well It was years and years of accumulating ideas. The title and basic idea actually cropped up in a roleplay I tried making in.08? I didn't work at the idea, though. I had other stories to write. So I let it sit and fester and ferment. In the meantime, I accumulated other ideas. Finally, when I'd finished telling my other two s...

For centuries artists have been banning together to create masterpieces. In 1816 Mary Shelley, Percival Shelley, Lord Byron and John Polidori. Hung out at Villa Diodati. A mansion by a lake in Switzerland, smoked lots of opium, and composed some of the most memorable literature in modern history. Recently, with the rise of self-made-fame, Youtube. 8230;...

A community of like-minded (and slightly deranged) writers. See the world through our eyes. Monday, 4 July 2011. I've seen it done, in cartoons. It's that symbolically difficult bringing together that has become an easy throwaway line. It's also often compared to organizing writers. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Do you like commenting?
