Discipline and new works | Life During Wartime
https://andrewnienaber.wordpress.com/2010/12/13/discipline-and-new-works
Discipline and new works. Like so many other times in my life, I had a good idea with this blog, and then I just let it die on the operating table. Well, I intend to make some vain and feeble attempt to rectify that now. This is, of course, not to be construed as a promise of regular updates, but rather as a half-hearted resolution to myself to try a little harder to be productive. We’ll all see how that turns out.

Snobbery | Life During Wartime
https://andrewnienaber.wordpress.com/2011/03/23/snobbery
The higher the book appears on the list when that keyword is searched. And I guess I want to be close to the top of the list when someone searches Grey’s Anatomy slash or cooking with dung beetles. So, what have I seen? And that’s what bugs me. I mean, hey, am I really quantifiably better than that? Or am I just being a pretentious douche? That’s, uhthat’s a rhetorical question. Feel free not to answer. You’re currently reading “Snobbery,” an entry on Life During Wartime. March 23, 2011 / 2:55 pm. You ar...

The director’s notes debate | Life During Wartime
https://andrewnienaber.wordpress.com/2010/05/04/the-directors-notes-debate
The director’s notes debate. Many times I have seen (and many more times worked on) productions with deep thematic concepts that drastically effected my understanding of the piece, not all of which were apparent to the typical audience member. Admittedly, sometimes this is simply because the director, design team and performers simply failed to carry the concept across. Oftentimes, though, there are numerous other factors that impede a full understanding. All too often I have heard audience members ̵...

Re-purposing | Life During Wartime
https://andrewnienaber.wordpress.com/2011/03/11/re-purposing
Since this blog has gotten so little use in its intended incarnation – one where I write brilliant and insightful treatises about theater and the arts – I am re-purposing it a bit. Don’t worry, it shouldn’t hurt too bad. So here’s the story: in November of 2009 I began working on a book. November is National Novel Writing Month. Then in 2009 I hit the word count again. But this time I was close to the end of the story, and I actually – gasp – knew. I wanted it to end! Truly, Deeply Disturbed. Jump to com...

The Process | Life During Wartime
https://andrewnienaber.wordpress.com/2011/03/14/the-process
I know, I knowthere are about a million books, documentaries, blog posts and essays about the process a writer goes through when producing her work. But here’s the thing: none of those are about me. And, struggling for something to write about to keep this new blog/advertising scheme from going the way of most of my blog projects, I needed to write something, and this is what you get. Truly, Deeply Disturbed. Version of this story. Given my creative output, that seems unlikely in the extreme. The answer ...

Oh yeah, this thing… | Life During Wartime
https://andrewnienaber.wordpress.com/2011/04/02/oh-yeah-this-thing
Oh yeah, this thing…. I keep reading about what a great promotional tool a blog is for your self-published book. Well, I’m pretty sure I’m doing it wrong. Because I’m not seeing my sales expanding exponentially every time I write a blog post, and I’m also not seeing my blog readership expanding. So, there’s that. Truly, Deeply Disturbed. So now you’re wondering about my history. Did my mother dominate me? Did my father abuse me? April 2, 2011 / 11:20 am. Jump to comment form. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Masturbatory side-note about process | Life During Wartime
https://andrewnienaber.wordpress.com/2011/03/16/masturbatory-side-note-about-process
Masturbatory side-note about process. I mentioned putting on music while I write in the last post. I’ve read a lot of authors’ opinions about what music gets them in the mood to do their thing (ranging from the typical classical music to John Ringo’s. Baffling mix of Jimmy Buffett, neo-goth and bagpipe music), and now for no reason other than because I find it moderately interesting I’m going to expound upon what makes good writing music for me.

Bleeding Heart Thursday | Life During Wartime
https://andrewnienaber.wordpress.com/2011/03/23/bleeding-heart-thursday
Last Thursday I donated half of the proceeds from my book sales to The Innocence Mission, a group that fights the sexual abuse of children. It was my biggest sales day to date (I sold five books! So I’m bringing the idea back. This week’s charity is Music In Schools Today. In case you’ve forgotten or you never knew the book can be purchased for Kindle on Amazon ( http:/ www.facebook.com/l.php?
