Wordsmith At Play: Wordsmith at Work: One Word
http://wordsmith-at-play.blogspot.com/2012/05/wordsmith-at-work-one-word.html
The Most Important Rule. Thursday, May 10, 2012. Wordsmith at Work: One Word. I have one more moment to pull from the critique of my friend Micosil's short story. I blogged about last week. A brief exchange that I thought was rather compelling. We were discussing the italicized word in this sentence:. The mountain of a man held a black. Double-bladed axe in his other hand, the great weight seeming not to trouble him in the least.". Here's the mini-conversation for you:. Oh come on, that's one word! If Wi...

Wordsmith At Play: Vulnerable, Just Like Me: How to Make Your Characters Relatable
http://wordsmith-at-play.blogspot.com/2012/05/vulnerable-just-like-me-how-to-make.html
The Most Important Rule. Monday, May 14, 2012. Vulnerable, Just Like Me: How to Make Your Characters Relatable. I am very fond of notes. This note says that this blog post might make more sense if you read. First, but I will try to keep that from being a requirement. If anything in here is confusing, let me know and I'll try to explain it better. The other day one of my friends linked me to a webcomic. That was attacking a man without breaking a sweat. He's compassionate enough to give a ride. And yet he...

Today's Wordsmith at Work post will be up sometime tomorrow because I'm sleepy and recovering from being sick. Sorry about the delay. However, as I mentioned in Is Writing A Solitary Art?

Do they need to?

Wordsmith At Play: January 2012
http://wordsmith-at-play.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The Most Important Rule. Monday, January 16, 2012. The Idea of Home. This post has been moved to the new site. It bothers me. I cant seem to define it properly enough to figure out where mine is- where mine should properly be. It seems to me that home should be stable, not fluid - home should be someplace you can always go back to, not some place you are borrowing for a certain amount of time and will leave when it no longer is yours. This is my temporary home, its not where I belong,. We formed groups,...

The Most Important Rule. Wednesday, May 2, 2012. Wordsmith at Work: Sample Critique Process. To give you all a break from the military strategy being discussed, I thought I would provide a short example of one of my critiques. This exchange was conducted in real time with my friend Micosil from DeviantArt. On his story Deathbound. Which, unlike Deathbound, does not need a few more chapters that will never be written to be fully understood.). Micosil: Why, and how'd you fix it? He gets the full brunt of m...
