Thoughts on rereading my own books, world bibles, worldbuilding, the advisability of writing sequels and the perils of long series. Also story structure and why I think some books are lacking it, to their detriment.

An epiphany I had on why some people might see fights scenes and sex scenes as similar. Also a rant on notifications and why I believe we should assiduously fight them and a bit about the Brittany Murphy documentary.

Upon request, a discussion of fight scenes (including battle scenes), why I think they're nothing like sex scenes, how the character transformation is totally different, and how I learned to write them anyway.

I saw yet another class purporting to teach plotting for pantsers - this one to sell you software - and so I'm ranting about how ALL WRITERS PLOT, that your process is fine as is, and that you don't need to outline!

I'm pulling together a lot of thoughts on plagiarism, influences, understanding our villains and the trouble with protagonists as avatars, taking ourselves out of the poem, and how there's no magic formula.
