Writing Blog Number 2

by s

Rated: 18+ · Book · Personal · #2311764

This is a continuation of my blogging here at WdC

This will be a blog for my writing, maybe with (too much) personal thrown in. I am hoping it will be a little more interactive, with me answering questions, helping out and whatnot. If it falls this year (2024), then I may stop the whole blogging thing, but that's all a "wait and see" scenario.

An index of topics can be found here: "Writing Blog No.2 Index"

The way you craft a poem is interesting to me. I struggle with meters and such. I will save the note! Thanks for explaining your process.

Are the fairies to be trusted? Will they take him to a better place? We they take the step-uncle to a "better" place? Will they fade back into the landscape/book/wallpaper like "Puff, the magic dragon". Will they become dragons?

Anyhoo... 50k done. At this rate 150k is possible.

I wish I could be this dedicated to multiple projects at once. My ADHD makes it almost impossible to focus on one idea. Kudos to you! I need to get more organized, for sure.

I've done a lunch theater play (30 minutes) and (bad) stand-up comedy once "An introduction"

[13+]. I love both genres but actually doing it is hard and out of my comfort zone. The most difficult on the surface? Writing choreography for performance arts, for example, dance. How on earth to combine story(elements) with moves? Interesting.

Are you familiar with the work of Anna Keersemaeker, A Belgian choreographer, her work is awesome? I wish I could write that.

Good read! You hit it with your story! I hope you will write the most awesome job application possible so they have to hire you! Good luck with that.

20240202 Quickly

Quickly

This is a short one.

A few people, with the best of intentions, have reached out to me about self-publishing, asking why I don't take my old stories and self-publish my own anthologies, why I don't publish my unloved novels/novellas on my own, give my magnum opus monster dictionary a real home, things like that.

I do appreciate everyone's concern for my publishing future, and appreciate what you are suggesting and know that you mean well.

However...

I do not and will not self-publish.

I will not explain my reasoning as it often leads to abusive and obnoxious discourse, and you do you. I am not going to try to change anyone else's mind. I have my own opinions and reasons for those opinions, and that is all that matters.

But, note:

I do not and will not self-publish.

Not you. I. Me.

So, thanks for your concern and your suggestions, but, really, please do not waste our (your and my) time.
