A Writer's Notebook, Two-Thousand-And-Ninety-Five

I am doing pretty well with writing stories lately, as I have said numerous times of late.  It never ceases to be somewhat surprising to me that I am still able to keep at it to this degree.  Even when I have faltered in the past week or two, it has never been more than a night when I wasn't able, one way or another, to do something that felt genuine and not just like I was doing it to get done with the work.  The last few nights I've actually felt myself really going into the flow with the stories more easily.  I have talked about this a lot recently, but the feeling that I am close to some kind of shift or progress is very palpable.  Of course, it may be that I am just not seeing what has already shifted, or it could be that I will find myself having a great deal of difficulty very soon precisely because I am at the point where something is shifting in a way that requires I discover something new; of course, if that happens, it will just be the falter and struggle that comes before climbing to the next plateau.

What is this whole blog thing for anyway?

I am starting this because I said I would.  My friend Tim persuaded me, and that was probably a far more difficult and complicated maneuver on his part, that I should start this blog, and I made a commitment that I would, so here I am.  Which gives a reason for why this blog exists, but not really much of a purpose for that to lend meaning to that existence, which makes it like a lot of us, I suppose.  Of course, there are two purposes to this exercise, though there might only be one at a time, as they are largely about perspective, I think.  For instance, right now, a large part of the purpose, for me, is to have the commitment of adding to this blog consistently, as a matter of building the habit of working more steadily.  I have built that habit before, but it has always been intermittent, largely driven by situational demands.  In college, many years ago, I wrote daily, because I had an audience and because I was in classes that I felt committed to wr...

VanderMeer's Wonderbook, Chapter Four: Narrative Design (Continued)

Plot is often seen within certain fairly standard structures.  The Freytag pyramid, mentioned yesterday, like the three act structure, and many other standard plot diagrams, builds tension towards the climax, then resolves that tension as the story ends.  Vandermeer shows this through a series of diagrams, and then follows with some additional plot diagrams that provide further options.  The first of these comes from a film school illustration, and consists of a series of overlapping circles.  The progress of the story is similar to that in the traditional plot diagrams, but the focus is upon the way that the circles overlap, a symbol of the transitions that move the story from one phase to the next.  The diagram implies that at each step, the new elements begin to mingle with the old, washing them out, before the next phase begins introducing the elements necessary for that transition. After this we get a diagram describing the picaresque novel, a story whe...

Poem: I have done none of that

I have done none of that Really, I did forget, though I remembered since then, and still, I am not doing it, am waiting. I have no answers  about why or what is wrong. Something is wrong, but what? I do not have a good answer. I have no answer. I do not want to give any kind of answer. I should just do it instead of wondering why I am not, but that is not enough, not this time.
