Outside Updates

...will go in there–my one patch of lawn. The rainwater tank installation is complete. The last task for Rick and his assistant was to put in the final sections of pipe that bring the water from the roof to the tanks. (The white PVC pipes will get painted the same color as the metal pipes leading to them so there’s a consistent appearance all the way.) The day after that photo was taken, we got a little bit of rain, and that resulted in this lovely...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

Critique Technique, Part 13: Timing the Reveal

...for example, there has to be a point at which the act of killing and the identity of the killer are connected. The whys and wherefores might have been revealed earlier—as the FBI profiler builds the psychological sketch of the killer—or may come out later—as the killer himself, the investigator, or the prosecutor explains his motivations. In cases like this, the need for and the timing of at least some of the specific revelations are pretty clear...Read More

Critique Technique, Part 7: Scene and Chapter Endings

...the protagonist: one step forward makes room for the two steps backward to come. If the scene’s protagonist is the story’s antagonist, or even a secondary character, letting him make progress toward his goals can be a direct or indirect way to make things worse for the story’s protagonist. Those are the requirements for the end of a scene. They’re the same for the end of a chapter, only more so. Cliffhangers are appropriate here, but not at the en...Read More

Tile, (Counter) Tops, and Tight Fits

...Well, it just barely fits through the door onto the patio. Part of the credenza/bookcase that will be behind my desk is in, too. But there are more cabinets to go in. Part of the cabinetry for the great room entertainment center is in as well. So now, more and more, the interior is beginning to fill in and become something more than just open spaces.

The Sweet Trade, by Debrah Strait

...ape on a small wooden boat, hoping to sail to nearby Curaçao but instead become lost at sea. Rescued by French pirates, they’re soon sold into slavery. Dirk longs for the day he’ll be free so he can become a pirate and avenge the deaths of his and his friends’ families. All five boys survive their seven years of often brutal treatment and hard and dangerous work, growing big, strong, and hard—emotionally as well as physically—in the process. They...Read More
