First Cup of Coffee – June 4, 2019

THE ARROWS OF THE HEART won an award! I’m also telling a story today about how men and women talk differently about their pain. Also the continuing saga of THE FIERY CITADEL revision, and how being an auditory learner affects how my brain recalls words.

Updates on my weekend (low key), The Fiery Citadel revision (coming along), and our perceptions of the writers life vs. the reality. Plus cat wrangling.

A bunch of ideas today - thoughts on dealing with this revision (yes, still), why people hate Nickelback (yes, really) and how bikeshedding fits into this (yes, it does. well... kinda). This is the article I mention: https://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2015/04/25/402026979/the-good-listener-why-do-people-hate-nickelback-so-much

A report today on how I got mauled by a wild animal in the night, and also thoughts on pre-plotting vs. "pantsing," and why I prefer the metaphor of gardener vs. architect - springing from musings on George R.R. Martin's storytelling in A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones. Also how and why the show just isn't the book and it only hurts us in the end to try to make it be that.

Big thunderstorm this morning - and thoughts on cats, software updates, the movie Tully, weight loss and gain, and updates on THE DRAGONS OF SUMMER. For those interested, Lindsay Buroker's podcast, the Science Fiction & Fantasy Marketing Podcast, is here https://www.marketingsff.com/. (Gorgeous pancake breakfast courtesy of Minerva Spencer, from my weekend visit to Taos.)

Musings today on scenes with conflict and building suspense, how that rhythm works and when it's false suspense. Also cat wrangling, ever and always.

A bit of cat wrangling due to a jailbreak today, along with thoughts on copyediting, preparing a book for publication, and a bit more on 1st person POV, because I can't let it go.

Taking a walk today with Jackson, a preemptive strike against his autumn restlessness, and talking about the domestication of cats and dogs (as one does), along with worldbuilding and perfectionism.https://mcpigpearls.blogspot.com/

Today is the first day of school for some kids, so I'm thinking about summer's end, school and birthdays. Also talking about external and internal conflict in stories, using Lord of the Rings and Pride & Prejudice as examples. There's also some cat wrangling and the ongoing territorial war with the pack rat, including cholla burrs.
