Edits Continue

I continue revivsions. I’m trying to follow Maass’s suggestion of making certain each scene has microtension — mini-mysteries and conflicts embedded at the sentence and paragraph level.

Also, I was stunned to discover Dindi Book 1 lacked cannibals. I’ve rectified that.

Blog Lite and Notebook Computer

It’s not a notebook computer, it’s a notebook which thinks it’s a computer.

Blog Lite continues, I’m afraid, as I focus intensively on using the Maass book to strengthen The Corn Maiden. I’m finding book books to be extremely useful at this stage of my editing. I hope the changes I’m making will really help the book.

The Fire in Fiction

I’m on a Maass kick. I’m now reading The Fire in Fiction. The priciples reprise Writing a Breakout Novel and the Workbook — this one also has “homework” at the end of each chapter — but the examples he uses to illustrate the point are all new, so it’s worth reading.

You can never read too many samples of something done right.
