I've got a writing book problem: When I have a book writing problem, I pick up a writing book, and since writing is hard I've read dozens of writing books in the last decade. This is my attempt to make sense of them.

A wild rough draft appears!

In today's #WritingabtWriting I turned last week's outline into text and discovered new details in the writing. How often do you discover something totally unexpected about your story in your first draft?

Spiral Story - Rough Draft 1
Rough draft time. My goal at this stage is to get words on paper, whether that's in a notebook or digitally.

Welcome, new followers. Please add alt text to the images you post. What is alt text? Glad you asked:
A brief thread on alt-text.

Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
Perdido can be divisive on plot, people either love it or hate it. But is absolutely 100% there on the mushroomcore aesthetic.

For mushroom core are you thinking like What Moves the Dead and Perdido Street Station?
Am I the best writer? No.

Maybe that will help. Sometimes the best way to learn is to notice the mistakes of others.
Each step in the process will be broken down, explained, and posted unpolished. An I'll talk about what I learned and what I'd do differently. Because it's hard to find rough and final manuscripts for comparison.
I'm excited to start sharing a series I've had in the wings for a while now. Proof of Work takes a single book and works through the prompts. I'm starting with a series of short stories inspired by Meander, Spiral, Explode.

The National Hurricane Center wants us all to know that Gabrielle is "still struggling" over the central Atlantic and...I don't usually identify with hurricanes, and I'm in Florida, close to the Atlantic but not over it, but otherwise - I hear you, disorganized storm. I hear you. I get it.

Your occasional reminder that Ursula K. Le Guin and Philip K. Dick were in the same year in the same high school, liked each other’s writing, but never met in person.
