A Writer's Notebook, Day One-Thousand-Four-Hundred-And-Forty

I think I am making a break-through in the story I am writing.  I've gotten a stronger sense of where to take it, though it is rather dark, if it keeps going the way it has progressed.  I do think their is something interesting coming to, at least in the moment, offer some relief and change the story up a bit.  I want to have a bit more fun within this world before I get to the finale.  I'm going to throw some crazy stuff in their just to find out what it does to the rest of the story, especially since the whole thing is already pretty bizarre to begin with.  It is already largely a story about people being chased by giant worms falling off an absurdly giant tree, so I think it can handle some more weirdness.  A part of me really just wants to have the rest of the tale be a description of the worms destroying everything as the main characters keep running, and that may be the general structure of what is to come, but even if that is the case, I want to put some other elements in.  I have been imagining some giant birds, for example, coming to try and eat the worms.  I think the birds might be able to talk.  The worms might turn out to be able to talk as well, to be honest.  I am still figuring out what is going to happen and how it will unfold, but I feel like I am reaching the point where I know it is going to be a full story and not just a fragment or false start, at least if I keep going, as I intend to.

A Writer's Notebook, Day Two-Hundred-And-Fifty

Each of the three pieces I wrote today was a bit of a struggle to get going, if I am honest.  That happens, as I have mentioned, and my answer is generally to just wait it out, and the results vary.  A lot of the time, if I am really stuck, I might try to force something out, often it winds up being a bit meta, with me writing about being stuck without much in terms of inspiration, and it feels a bit like I am working scales in a way.  All the aesthetic decisions are there, they just don't always have a lot of purpose behind them, and that is fine in that context.  Essentially, I am just forcing myself to do the work, and getting it done, and I am showing myself that I can and will do it even if inspiration never strikes.  This can often take pressure off, and that lack of pressure opens up creative thinking and inspiration. Now, that is a fine thing for me to do, and I am likely to use that approach again many times in the future, but today I felt that I want...

Le Guin, Steering The Craft, Chapter Five: Adjectives and Adverbs (Exercise Five, Chastity)

A note of apology for my lateness with this.  I had expected to have time earlier in the day, but it was not to be, alas.  Anyhow, I am still a bit nervous about this exercise, though it is clearly of significant import to Le Guin, as she points out that it is the only exercise that she has given to all of her workshops.  That, of course, does not alter my feelings about it, excepting that I am aware of it as something valuable and worth doing, so the fact that it is a bit daunting might well be seen, through that light, as a promise of reward, perhaps.  The more difficult the task, the more one has to gain, at least by some logic... Exercise Five: Chastity Mr. Torino was in charge.  He had his way.  It was the way.  Desktops are clean.  Nothing but work.  No pictures: not your kids; not your girl or wife; not (as Allen recounted) your car.   None of that.  No plants.  No cartoons.  That is for home, this is work....

A Writer's Notebook, Two-Thousand-And-Fifty-Nine

I have been thinking about how I can discuss certain aspects of my poetry and the choices I make as a writer.  In particular, I tend to write without as much reliance on sensory details and descriptions, instead choosing more abstract depictions.  This is something that I know many writers would call an odd choice, as specificity seems inherently to demand the application of detail, but I tend to be a bit hesitant about relying on depictions that utilize the senses, as I find that approach somewhat problematic.  For one thing, sensory description is always going to be less than universal, and not only because of the reality that there are individuals who lack one or more sense.  In many ways, for me, the deeper problem is one related to language itself.  Our use of language creates our experiences in a very real way, though I can't necessarily offer a full explanation of what I mean by that right here, but using a word for an object bestows qualities on it....
