Meet This Author: Marie Bostwick

Q: When did you get started in writing stories? Pretty much from the moment I was able to hold a pencil. I have a very vivid memory of kneeling in front of an ottoman at my grandmother’s house, with a book on the ottoman and a piece of paper on the book, listening to thesoundtrack of Camelot (I hadn’t seen the play or the movie) and trying to write a story to make the songs hang together. Though…

I am still ruminating on the fact that Harold emailed People Magazine to leak and plant a story about his birthday. He could not email People or any of his other favorites to correct the supposedly mistaken impression everyone had after Oprah that the RF was racist? Or correct anything else? by u/Von_und_zu_

I am still ruminating on the fact that Harold emailed People Magazine to leak and plant a story about his birthday. He could not email People or any of his other favorites to correct the supposedly mistaken impression everyone had after Oprah that the RF was racist? Or correct anything else?  In an exclusive email to PEOPLE, Harry says: ....If you, Harold, are emailing the likes of People Mag to plant a laughable story about your birthday party and how much you love being a father (over zoom or whatever), you could not take the time to tell everyone in the aftermath of the Oprah interivew that you do not think the RF is racist, that Megs never said that, that the British media said that, as you yourself asserted 2 years later in that bizarre ITV interview?! I was incredulous before, given that the losers took the time immediately after Oprah to tell Gayle King to tell everyone on American TV that it was not the late Queen or Prince Philip who said the supposedly racist stuff about skin colour. Now I am even more incredulous.Beyond that, was it not Harold and his sanctimonious wife that informed us after their big flounce to "freedom" that they were not going to engage with mainstream media henceforth? We all knew that was a big lie and that they were leaking and planting with major outlets, of course, especially after one of them accidentally spilled about the Sussex WhatsApp media group. But here we have written verification from People that Harold emailed with them directly.And in a delicious twist of the Karma knife, it is PEOPLE that EXCLUSIVELY! outs Harold as the source of this silly article. Harold - emailing - directly - to People! He is not even going thru the pretext of using "sources" or "spokespersons" or "friends."This People Exclusive really is, as Dan says, an own goal ... in every sense.https://ift.tt/yweB1Mu to add this excellent and snarky point from Richard Eden. Is he still ruminating too?https://ift.tt/gOKk7cL link to the People EXCLUSIVE! https://ift.tt/X5fhiU0 post link: https://ift.tt/MT7r4gO author: Von_und_zu_ submitted: September 11, 2024 at 05:29PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

been trying to figure out the odds on someone coming along and finishing berserk, and the more i think about it the less optimistic i am.

To start, I'm willing to bet good money that we're going to get, at a minimum, berserk chapter 364. Significant work has to already be done on it, it was originally due in april. What form we'll get it in remains to be seen, i could just as easily see them finishing it as i could see them publishing whatever exists now as a volume bonus in the final release. Maybe it will be like one of those old video game builds that people think is lost for decades and then just randomly shows up on ebay one year. But short of actively destroying what exists of it 364 will come out.

Anything after that depends on how far ahead miura planned and the whims of the copyright holders.

The best case scenario for an author's death is a Wheel of Time scenario, where the author naturally planned their work out before writing it, had at least a year to prepare for their demise, was near the end of the series anyway, and had a readily available heir apparent in the author's genre that could come in and finish the race. For berserk, the ideal scenario is that miura 1) naturally planned things out very far in advance, 2) had significant documentation detailing what was going to happen in berserk in case of exactly this, 3) didn't have that much story left to tell, and 4) either prepped his staff to be able to do berserk without him, or had an estate that's in touch with the manga scene and can find someone to captain the ship to harbor. Anything short of this is going to make finishing berserk in a way that feels true to miura extremely difficult.

I really don't know if miura was the kind of writer to have everything planned out in detail, or if he just figured stuff out as he went along like Martin does. I'm positive that he didn't have everything planned out in detail though. Word from his assistants was that his death was super sudden, he wasn't particularly ill or stressed, so short of literal divine inspiration in the past year and change I highly doubt that he has everything storyboarded to the end. The ideal would be that he did, and all that was left to do was to draw, which his assistants could easily do, but it seems unlikely. But it is entirely possible that he's had the whole plot line written up in a filing cabinet since 87 that he just added finer details to when storyboarding time came. We really just don't know.

I doubt it though. As recently as 2019 Miura said he was still wrangling with some writing details, for instance he wasn't sure whether guts and casca would have a happy ending or not. granted, it's possible he definitely did know that and was just playing coy for the interviewer, but regardless it seems clear that there was still major stuff he was figuring out.

We also don't really know how much was left. in that 2019 interivew miura described berserk as being in it's "back half," but a lot of the fans seem to be of the opinion that we were more in the last quarter. Either way, that's a minimum 100+ chapters of manga that needs to get made. This goes beyond cobbling together an editing team to push out a handful of chapters, whoever ends up helming the task of finishing berserk is going to end up having a huge impact on the overall manga

I've said before that I think it's worth continuing the series. Best case scenario, we get an ending we're all happy with, worst case scenario, we ignore it and berserk ends at chapter 363 anyway. But I wanna qualify now that if there aren't significant plans left by miura then i don't want a continuation. I'd rather berserk end where it is than have 100+ chapters of glorified fanfiction, no matter how good, stapled onto the end of this masterpiece.

Avenged (The Arnaud Legacy #3) by Lynn Carthage Author Secrets!

AUTHOR SECRETS:

"What's your weirdest writing habit?"

Answer: I've come to realize I write a few paragraphs, then switch screens to look at social media for about 10 minutes, then go back to write a few paragraphs. It seems like social media is now part and parcel of the writing process, which I don't particularly like, but maybe it's a bit of respite my writing mind needs. In the past, when I've been at writing residencies, it's easier somehow to completely turn off social media. At one residency, I literally couldn't get wifi in the studio, which was a true blessing. I'd tromp all the way over to the quaint computer lab once a day to check email and the rest of the time, I simply word-processed on my laptop. It was great. I know some people use software that blocks them from the web for a particular amount of time. I think it's okay to click away from your novel for short bursts of time. Better yet would be to get up and take a quick walk or do a few stretches.

"What scene made you cry while you were writing?"

Answer: At the end of Haunted (Book One in this series), there's a scene where Phoebe and her mom reconnect in a way that made me wail while writing it. I'm a parent now, and the poignancy of the connection you feel with your children is breathtakingly emotional. I can't give away too much, but in that scene, Phoebe finally gets the attention she's been craving from her mom. She has felt ignored and abandoned in favor of her younger sister Tabby, and in this particular scene, her mom reaffirms her vast love for Phoebe. As a daughter in a family of four girls, I know there is certainly competition for attention, and I felt deeply the sadness Phoebe felt in trying to connect with her mom.
