[HTK] Don't just murder your darlings -- cut them in half

...writer that I could dole out advice with any authority. It wasn't that I thought I wasn't good , but rather that I wasn't good enough to have my advice be actually useful. In reading Chuck Wendig 's " Advice You Should Probably Ignore " posts, I realized that sharing my own experiences as a writer could be beneficial in its own way, in much the same way as the early episodes of Mur Lafferty's ...

[Head To Keyboard] 5 Ways To Get Your Pitch Read

It's another edition of "Head To Keyboard," my irregular column of writing advice. This time, Chuck Wendig has called me out . Specifically, he said this: Eddy , I know you have thoughts on what makes a good pitch. C’mon. Share with the class? He speaks, and I obey. After two years of manning the White Wolf slush pile, I've gained a couple of ideas of what makes a good pitch over a bad ...

Writers aren't the only unreasonable fuck ups.

... other rather than addressing each other per se, but I'm not known for being shy on expressing an opinion... The latest post on this topic (I addressed the one by Eddyfate before) is one by Chuck Wendig HERE. I only 70% disagree with it, but I'm going to address the topic - again - this time in the form of a letter reversing the roles... *** Dear Inutile Incorporated, Thank you for your ...

NaBlogWriMo?

So, I'm not doing NaNoWriMo. I just don't think it's my thing. However, after reading a post by Chuck Wendig on why he doesn't like it, I realized that I should do something. So, instead, I am writing 30 blog posts in 30 days. And not crappy "here's what I've been up to, not that you care" posts. Short fiction, essays, work on my various RPG projects, etc. Actual writing stuff. Maybe 30 days ...

NaNo Word Count! Not really, because I'm cool like that.

... of you are just writing because you write every day like a robot that could rival the terminator in dedication. (And you need to stop that, you're making the rest of us look bad.) My new buddy Chuck Wendig has written what I think is an excellent post about pacing in writing - at one point he compares it to music, and that's it! That's it precisely. It made me think of the Character Mixes I ...

...rainbow without a pot of gold. I am going to bake bread, and time willing, I am going to make ginger orange rolls. I MEAN, COME ON. That needs to be in my mouth this second. I love Chuck Wendig's blog - he's hilarious. (Warning: he swears a lot, and I - shockingly - have readers that aren't down with the cussin'.) This is my favorite post, mostly because he uses the word "Slugabed." That's...

[NaNoWriMo] What I'm doing, and why I'm doing it

.... I'm actually having difficulty narrowing them all down, which is a good sign, I think. One thing that came up over the past week or so, however, is the question "Why do NaNoWriMo at all?" Chuck Wendig actually did a good job playing devil's advocate over on his blog (which, if you are not reading, you should be), and I think it's good to spell out my specific reasons for doing this. Why I...
