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"

Feel free to comment and interact.

Thank you so much,

Your loyal blood-sucker.

My mother would call her blood thinner "rat poison". It probably was.

Note: I submitted this on the weekend. Doing this piece reminded me of its existence, so I sent it off...

"The Man Whom the Trees Lived" by Algernon Blackwood should definitely be in a list for you to read. Possibly my favorite short story ever!

Just as long as you don't start every chapter with "she woke up" and end it with "she went to bed" - I saw that on a writing advice board recently... (The person asking for advice had structured their story that way, rather than that advice being given.)

Although I agree with many of your points, I do think you're being a little hard on yourself. I dare say if any accepted classic were examined in such detail, there would be as many apparent flaws found. Certainly it's necessary to be fussy when submitting in hope of publication, but lets not edit the life out of the thing. Sometimes it's breaking the rules that defines the art.

Well, it could have been (and usually is) worse...

Schnujo's next semester starts - I did some digging and the only place I found the "why" was that he felt "special" having these books that no-one else had. He had one of a kind books and they were his and his alone. Like the collectors who gather stuff and do not display them. (I know a guy who has the biggest collection of Australian wrestling memorabilia but unless you know him, you will never see it; it is the gathering and the owning that is the goal.)

Wow! To me, the craziest part is that he didn't have nefarious intent. He just wanted to read them. That's a LOT of effort just to read unpublished manuscripts! He was a really hard-core reader book lover! Lol Too bad he didn't have the smarts to spin that like the Angry Penguin folks did and end up making money from his notoriety. Lol

This book is currently empty.
