Critique Technique, Part 10: Poor Characterization

...ters have to be… Committed to something. It doesn’t matter so much if that commitment is to understanding their mother, say, or killing her, but the presence and the intensity of that commitment, that passion, make the character more interesting. This commitment is essential for the protagonist and antagonist, but commitment can really round out secondary characters too. Commitment creates the opportunity for conflict when there’s someone else wit...Read More

Book 3 Draft 3, New House News, and Cookies!

...ious, so I asked Tina for the recipe. She sent me this link for it: http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/peanut-butter-blossoms-cookie-exchange-quantity/78806839-e0bd-4710-8b10-82abbece7ce5. Sunday afternoon, I made a batch. Look good, don’t they? And not a Calorie in sight. I promised the group I’d bring them some… if there are any left by then!   Save Save Save Save Save Save Lots of ways you can share this: Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Email Print...Read More

Tile, (Counter) Tops, and Tight Fits

...kind of “magic moment” that The Drifters were singing about in the background, but it’s a pretty big deal anyway. And speaking of big, the bookcase cabinets are going in in the office. That trim piece around them needs to be just right, and of course the walls aren’t perfectly straight, so whenever the frame is just a little bit off… like it is at the upper left corner, the guys have to take it out onto the patio, trim it a little, bring it back...Read More

Life on the Urban Interface–Sharing the Space with the Wildlife

...d for a while longer then realized I could shoot some video! (There’s no sound.) https://rossblampert.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/YouTube-Wild-Turkey-Video.mp4 They couldn’t see me so they walked around, grazing on wild grass seeds, and finally went on their way. On the Other Hand… Not all the critters have been so big or so cool, however. Not long after I moved in, one night I spotted a BIG spider on a wall in the office. I tried to catch it b...Read More

Mine! (Almost) All Mine!

...move is forcing me to do is get a new internet service provider. The cable company I’ve been using for the last 20 years doesn’t provide service in Wild Horse, so my choices are either DSL or an over-the-air link. DSL data rates aren’t the greatest, and I’d gotten positive reviews about some of the broadcast providers, so I had one of them come down and install their system. Here’s Ben installing the antenna. Yes, it’s that small. The transmission...Read More

Paving the way to more progress

...nes we’d painted on the dirt were long gone. This time, though, the paving company was going to be out the next day. This is a very exacting process: “Let’s start here, go straight to about there, curve it around to there, then there, and then straight again to there.” “Here?” “No, over to your right a little… yeah, there.” Put down some rocks to mark the spots, and then paint them. Anybody who’s been in the military will find that activity all to...Read More

Outside Updates

...we got a little bit of rain, and that resulted in this lovely sight and sound. https://rossblampert.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/First-rainwater-harvest.mp4 The result was the float gauge in the bottom tank–that’s that thing with the red band on the pipe in front of the tank–rising about a foot (and revealing a leak in one of the out-bound pipes–oops!). That’s Bill calling Rick to tell him about the leak. It was fixed right away. In a few days,...Read More

2016 Tucson Festival of Books, Day 1

..., basically anyone who wants to get visibility with so many people and can come up with the money to pay for a tent (or several). This is how I found out about TusCon. It’s a GREAT event. How a writer could NOT go to this event is mostly beyond me. (OK, I’ll give a pass to folks who don’t like crowds. After all, over 100,000 will attend over the two days of the Festival.) If I have one beef, it’s that indie authors still get short shrift. Yes, the...Read More

Critique Technique, part 14: Out-of-Character Behavior

...itiquing isn’t comedy—or isn’t meant to be comedy? When a character you’ve come to know suddenly acts in a way that makes you stop, scratch your head, and say “huh?”, maybe there’s a problem. Maybe. That’s an important word. What does the story’s context tell you about this new behavior? If Alice suddenly starts screaming, which she’s never done before, but it’s because the car she’s riding in just went off a cliff, that’s reasonable. If, on the o...Read More
