I'm talking about POV today and why 3rd Person isn't more "mature" than 1st Person. I'm also looking for help on titling my next series if you all have input!

The blog post on gender bias is here (https://blog.jeffekennedy.com/2020/08/12/being-aware-of-gender-bias-in-stories/)

And the More Than Paranormal online event hosted by Love's Sweet Arrow is here (https://blog.jeffekennedy.com/2020/09/16/more-than-paranormal/)

Why you shouldn't save your silver bullet, writing endings, and managing recurring tasks. Also, some thoughts on finances for authors who lives entirely on their writing income. 

The Dar Williams song I mention is Flinty Kind of Woman and you can listen here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfB4vNq9gCs)

The fascinating sky-striping caused by the smoke, big sale on my Twelve Kingdoms and Uncharted Realms books today, and some discussion of the business side of self-publishing. 

The blog post (w/photos) I mention is here (https://blog.jeffekennedy.com/2020/09/13/which-are-better-the-easy-scenes-or-the-hard-ones/)

A rambling podcast today on sleep cycles and the importance of sleep, daily routines, how much I love the In Death books, and how I'm *still* vacillating on what to write for UNDER A WINTER SKY.

I'm talking about story structure today: how the analysis can be useful, but also limiting; why the Black Moment isn't necessary, that dramatic beats are useful only so far, and how we need to internalize our art.

My podcast on GMC is here (https://blog.jeffekennedy.com/2020/09/08/first-cup-of-coffee-september-8-2020/)
Leslye Penelope's podcast on the Black Moment is here (https://lpenelope.com/2020/09/revisiting-structure-my-imaginary-friends-episode-84/)
And the SFWA blog post (which turns out to be from July 2019) is here (https://www.sfwa.org/2019/07/30/translating-the-heros-journey-into-a-linear-plan/)

Why the GMC approach to characterization doesn't work for me, what does, and other thoughts on showing flaws in characters. Also how much I loved Melissa Marr's THE WICKED AND THE DEAD.

Should magic systems make rational sense, since they're, well, MAGIC? I'm mulling this question today and talking about a slow-down with DARK WIZARD. Also how this Facebook ads guy is driving me nuts.

My many varied and conflicted thoughts on prologues, RWA's Vivien Award rules, winning the RITA Award and how you know that book is The One. Also my travails trying to buy Windex.

The blog post on needlework is here https://blog.jeffekennedy.com/2020/08/26/dear-writers-enough-with-dissing-needlework/ and the poem I reference is Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird by Wallace Stevens here https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45236/thirteen-ways-of-looking-at-a-blackbird
