I get my ideas early in the morning. I'll sort of wake up and be dozing away, then these people come into my head. Often they are doing something and I don' know why.
The main character in my upcoming book woke up next to a dead body and said, "Oh, no. Not again." It took me MONTHS to work out why the fuck she said that.
As educators and scientists, we can and should communicate clearly that generative AI tools are not sentient, have no capacity for truth, and are merely complex statistical algorithms dressed up in a plain language outfit.
Back to the main story. I worked out what the structure of the difficult chapter is, so now I can write it. Hopefully the rest of this section will then flow more easily. What's your main difficulty at the moment? Or are you in full flow?
Writing about food. Japanese literature has so many food references. But nothing spells the characters getting comfortable with each other than discussing food. #Writing#Amwriting
Nabe, gyudon, soborodon, hayashi
Good thing I have some nice leftovers in the frig. Though I am tempted to make hayashi. Can't go wrong with that.
If you’re a fan of #podcasts, there are over dozen of them dedicated to #JaneAusten and the Brontes. If I’m missing any, let me know so I can update the list!
#WordWeavers 30May- writing from the POV of a child? Written any?
Very comfortable.
Cory the alien boy in Our Child of the Stars and its sequel. He is childhood turned up to 11. Enormously empathetic, curious, friendly, and able to enjoy even the simplest moments of life. And also, weird powers and he has to hide. I also did chapters than didn't make the book in the voice of his friend.
I have an idea in which there are two POVs, the child living it, and the adult she becomes.
Are we vehicles
to propagate
nucleic acids,
or scaffolding
for feet that they
might erode the
topsoil, create
riverbeds, canyons,
or are we a chassis
for lungs that exhale
and push air and
move butterflies
effectively?
