A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf - Book Review

I read this in August 2022, wrote the review several weeks or months later, and promptly forgot that it existed. I’ve been on a binge of classic works of literature, both fiction and not. Virginia Woolf’s extended essay, A Room of One’s Own, is one of those key works of criticism that you have to get to. As a piece of creative non-fiction, it’s exemplary, a masterpiece of polemics at a time,…

Knowing What You Want As A Writer

Knowing What You Want As A Writer

I have been traditionally published by smaller publishers, and I’ve taken my returned rights on some of my books and re-published them on my own. The tide keeps changing in publishing, and sometimes it’s hard to keep up.

Currently I have a lot on my plate.

1. I have to get back to a convention and set up those plans.

2. Vampire King of New York is being re-edited and having a new book cover.

Sestinas: Writing Workshop

Jackie Martinez With a Mask, by Mark J. Sebastian Sestinas

Oh, the dreaded sestina. Poets seem to really love it or really, reallyhate it. It’s very name makes poets weak at the knees; I’m sure some of you are quivering as you read this very line. But it’s not that bad: it’s just another poem with a unique structure to play with. Surprisingly, considering I’m both a teacher and a grad student, I…

To write about a massive talent like Woolf is a daunting mental and emotional adventure. I have tried… with immense, ridiculous, melancholic love for the mystery and magnificence that she was.

Writer's Room #2

Time to take another look behind the scenes of #BurningSky with Into the Writer's Room 2

This time it’s all about Chapter 4 as the most recent outing in the prologue to our little adventure epic introduced a major new character and expanded on some important character dynamics. So let’s get stuck into it.

The Development of Ramos

Sharlenne: Ramos is such an interesting character and he has this really big presence, even though he’s not actually around all that much.

Voya…

#100daysofwriting | day 039

a daily writing project created by @the-wip-project // tagging some of my fellow writers joining in on the fun: @kinetic-elaboration, @thelittlefanpire, @easilydistractedbyfanfic, and @hopskipaway

It turns out that all of my October deadlines for prompts can be shifted throughout the rest of the year so I’m feeling some extreme relief today! Think one of my next steps will be really sorting the order I want to *aim* to write in for these while still leaving some room for when inspiration strikes. I also think this means that if I want, I can just really dive back into my Midsommar fic and get it finished without completely avoiding my other stories.

What kind of traits make a character interesting?

For me personally, I’ve always preferred characters that have a gray area to their personality or choices. Or at least complex heroes, even if they’re still the good guy. Pretty much the “what’s a good trait about them and how can that same thing be a weakness or a flaw at the same time.” Because the genres I like are usually heavy on the plot (sci-fi, thrillers, fantasy) or have expected bad endings (horror), I prefer a character that at least feels flushed out, regardless of the traits. I think a lot of people seek comfort or personal validation through the characters they like and that’s totally great! Just not for me!

Fic(s) Worked On:

Bellarke, Tarzan AU

Made more progress today in writing it! I think my outline is primarily done as well, at least the bare bones of it. It’s due August 1st but I think I’ll be on track to get it done on time!

Bellarke, Darklina AU

I started the most basic form of an outline! I don’t have to start this one for a while but since I’m also working on minimal working knowledge of Shadow and Bone, I am going to have to do some extra research while I outline! So I at least wanted to get the file going for now

Bellarke, Mythology AU

More just outlining! Trying to get a general idea of the plot and the arc it’ll take + how many chapters it’ll be. Easily a prompt that could spiral into a massive story, which I’d prefer it not to. But it also is complex enough that I want to give it justice which means it’ll definitely be a multi-chapter! I also really want it to have a ~vibe~ so I’m trying to already plot that out in my outline as I go to make it more immersive from the get go

Lana Vawser  ~ 02-04-2017 There is major breakthrough upon the writers right now.

RADIO: 560 AM: Chuck Swirsky, Bill Wennington, Steve Kashul. 6:45 CT pre.

CCI PREVIEW: Game 82. It remains to be seen if the 76ers will rest their starters. Philly is locked in to the third seed in the Eastern Conference. The two teams met last week in Chicago with the 76ers prevailing 116-96. The Bulls and 76ers opened the regular season October 18 here in Philadelphia as the 76ers won by 19. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot is a former 76er as is JaKarr Sampson. Ryan Arcidiacono was a great star at Villanova leading the Wildcats to an NCAA title two years ago. Arcidiacono will play in his 81st of a possible 82 games tonight.

SEASON SERIES: Philadelphia 2-1.

FINAL FROM THE UNITED CENTER: New York 96, Bulls 86 (Bulls 22-59, 9-32 at home)

LEADING SCORERS: Bulls: Arcidiacono: 14 pts. New York: Smith: 25 pts. LEADING REBOUNDERS: Bulls: J. Sampson: 8. New York: Robinson: 17. LEADING ASSISTS: Bulls: Arcidiacono, Harrison and Selden: 2 each. New York: Smith: 5.

CCI RECAP: The Knicks led wire to wire as the Bulls trailed by as many as 20 points in the first quarter. NY avoided posting their worst ever record with the win. Meantime, the Bulls recorded their 32nd home court loss, a franchise record. Ryan Arcidiacono with a solid 14-6-3 game. Shaq Harrison: 13-7-3 and 2 blocks. It was Fan Appreciation Night and a sellout of 21-thousand 350 caught the game. Once again, on behalf of everyone with the Bulls, thank you for your support and passion! You are appreciated.

Bulls vs. Knicks Recap

CCI IN THE LOCKER ROOM: “I’m excited as hell about our future.” - Coach Boylen

Miami 122, Philadelphia 99. Dwyane Wade’s final regular season home game went according to plan. The Heat won. Wade scored 30. He received tremendous ovations from the crowd and tributes from many people including former President Barack Obama. With Detroit winning, the Heat were eliminated from post season. Wade’s final game will take place tonight in Brooklyn.

Detroit 100, Memphis 93. The Pistons can clinch a playoff spot with a win tonight at New York or if Charlotte loses at home to Orlando. The Pistons rallied from a 19 point halftime deficit.

Charlotte 124, Cleveland 97. The Hornets need to beat the Magic tonight and hope the Pistons lose at MSG.

Boston 116, Washington 110. Bradley Beal became the first player in Wizards franchise history to average at least 25 points, five rebounds and five assists while appearing in all 82 games. The Wizards lost their 50th game of the season.

Toronto 120, Minnesota 100. The Raps finished 58-24, to secure the second seed in the East. Toronto set a franchise record with its 26th road victory.

Golden State 112, New Orleans 103. Steph Curry sustained a mild foot sprain. Anthony Davis missed his seventh straight game. He wore a T-shirt that read, “That’s All Folks,” written across the front.

Dallas 120, Phoenix 109. Dirk Nowitzki scored a season high 30 points in his final home game of his brilliant career. The Suns finished 19-63. Jamal Crawford scored 51 points. It marked the fourth team Crawford has scored 50 or more points for in a single game (Bulls, Knicks, Warriors).

Utah 118, Denver 108. Donovan Mitchell matched his career high with 46 points. The Jazz won their last eight regular season home games.

Oklahoma City 112, Houston 111. Paul George nailed a three ball with less than two seconds remaining to beat the Rockets.

Portland 104, Los Angeles Lakers 101. Maurice Harkless buried a corner three as time expired. The Blazers host Utah in the opening round of the playoffs.

Magic Johnson stepped down as President of the Lakers. In an impromptu media gathering Johnson informed broadcasters and writers of his decision before telling owner Jeannie Buss. Wow.

Minnesota is finalizing plans to keep GM Scott Layden and coach Ryan Saunders, league sources tell ESPN. (Woj)

A Room Full of Death - A Short Story

A Room Full of Death – A Short Story

‘Drip, drip!’

In this silent and eerie room brimming with dust and impregnated with the sense and touch of death the minuscule drops of water leaking from a tightly shut faucet sounded like thunder. Each drop took exactly three seconds before dripping after the former.

Silence.

‘Drip!’ (Thunder)

Silence again.

And that is how it continued.

The first thing Sam’s eyes spotted as they regained…
