We Write!
There are reasonable grounds to suspect I keep a vast anti-computer in my head, which devours diverse inputs and then reconstitutes them them all as unified garbage. There are reasonable grounds in in coffee-pots too. Still, in a bizarre way that's what I do. Occasionally out of the vastly disparate gunk I pour into my... Continue Reading →
Good morning, everyone. Sarah asked me to put up an open floor today. She's feeling much better but the workshop is exhausting and she still has to get ready for it this morning. So, she won't be posting a new chapter but promises to try to double up next week. So, here's your chance to... Continue Reading →
(This morning we welcome a new member to the MGC family. Cedar Sanderson is a woman of many talents and she has almost as many voices talking in her head, demanding their stories be written as we do -- well, maybe not as many as Sarah. Cedar will be doing Saturday posts for us. The... Continue Reading →
Hi, everyone. You guys had quite a bit of fun tracking down the lost methane. We should do an open floor more often:) Quite a few years ago I worked for a geotechnical consulting firm. I’m a chemical engineer, and my work for these guys was all in the environmental area. Most of the engineers... Continue Reading →
Blame Patrick Richardson for this. Yes, really. First he sent me to this article then he started quoting from the author's wiki page where his "philosophy" resides. And, well... oh dear. So, herewith we have Jonathan Franzen, he who has more awards than books (or, for that matter, published works) and who uses his dahlingness... Continue Reading →
The question of whether writing is something that can even be taught has been kicking around writing/reading circles for ages. I suspect the same happens in music and art circles, though I wouldn’t know it, because well… It’s like my writing Science Fiction/Fantasy, Mystery and Romance. I might like all the genres equally but sf/f... Continue Reading →
I want to start by thanking everyone for their understanding about the open floor I had to put up last week. I try not to do so very often but last Tuesday was one of those days when everything converged to keep me not only away from the computer but out of the house. I've... Continue Reading →
Hmm. It's interesting - as a writer who uses the realms of history as a source - how things have changed. As I've commented before, the Taliban are like kissing-cousins compared to the ancient Greeks, or indeed, the Jews of the Old Testament. And yet, while much has changed... those are our ancestors, the source... Continue Reading →
*Sorry, this one is very short, and yes, it could go longer (and might, next week.) I neither wanted to skip it, nor am I up to doing a longer chapter. So I hope the shortness will be forgiven.* *You guys know we talked about doing a shared world. We went with a whole continent... Continue Reading →
First off, let me apologize for bailing on Tuesday. We've all had those days when, no matter how well you have the day planned, something happens to throw everything to the wind. Tuesday was that day for me. I appreciate all the comments you guys left about potential topics and I promise to get to... Continue Reading →
