What Kind of Book Would You Like to Write?

During the summer, I spent a lot of time talking to people about my fiction and nonfiction books. Almost every week, someone told me that they were thinking about writing a book. These people are not alone. Eighty-five percent of people say they want to write a book, but less than one percent do it. that’s why I’m writing today. If you want to be one of the one percent who write and publish a…

I know nothing about polar exploration! Or Shackleton! But you seem excited about it!

Have a favourite fact you'd like to share?!?

well my two favorite facts have already been shared which are the cautionary tale of the toxic polar polycule and the story of the antarctic lovebirds !!!

but here is a contender for #3... the tale of jessamine.

let's start with our homies Deb (left) and Griff (right), aka Frank Debenham and T. Griffith Taylor, the geologists of terra nova's cape evans shore party:

they would both later go onto impressive careers in academia, start families, basically be well-liked hard-working guys (also participants in 20th century imperialism but let's take that as given based on our starting point of this expedition lol)

BUT we are meeting them here, in antarctica, aged 27 and 30, "Early Career Researchers" as we might call them now. trying to keep busy with SCIENCE during the long antarctic winter night of 1911!!!!!

these guys go way back btw. Deb was born and raised in Australia and and Griff moved to Australia when he was a kid, and they both attended the fancy-schmancy King's School near Sydney, the Australian equivalent of british public school (e.g. Eton). according to griff they were family friends at that time although they would have been a few years apart at school.

later around 1908 they both studied at the University of Sydney under leading geologist Sir Edgeworth David, who had been on Shackleton's Nimrod expedition and reached the South Magnetic Pole with Mawson. They both ended up being hired onto Scott's expedition through university connections, Deb via Professor David and Griff through a scholarship to Cambridge where he met Wilson.

okay. backstory established. now one thing you need to know about Griff is that he was a total freak. like Racovitza, he was a Poster before there were online platforms to Post on. if you had that kind of brain back then, and no access to adderall, you had to just sit around inventing new kinds of science instead of deep-frying spongebob screencaps. he was a consummate edwardian memelord who would read a novel per day and still have time to write 20 pages of diary in which he would floridly record the silliest things that happened since the morning, the various quirks and quotes of expedition members, and then complain about captain scott in shorthand.

to say nothing of his passion for CREATIVE WRITING! vitally, Griff was one of the main contributors to the Cape Evans hut magazine, the South Polar Times edited by Apsley Cherry-Garrard. there were 3 issues of this during the winter of 1911 and 1 issue during the winter of 1912, the latter of which included much material written/submitted during 1911 before the polar party met with tragedy.

Griff was a versatile writer, and his pieces (which would sometimes cumulatively make up nearly half an issue of the SPT by page count) ran the gamut from expository nonfiction to speculative poetry to comedic epistolary to magazine pastiche. he had certain motifs that he frequently returned to—none as compelling, in my opinion, as that of Jessamine. or Jasmine, or Jessie, or Jessica, as the case may be...

it all began, according to Griff's diary, early in the austral winter of 1911, when Deb was "christened Jasmine by Titus [Oates]."

where this nickname came from is unclear—many of the men had picked up female nicknames on the voyage down (see "Jane" Atkinson, "Marie" Nelson, "Penelope" Pennell) but Deb had not been on the voyage down because he had gotten picked up in Australia, so this may have been a belated attempt to correct that omission. Griff wrote in his book about the expedition, "We were short of female society—which lack also accounts for Jessie Debenham as an alternative to Deb."

in any case, the name clearly caught on: on midwinter day, a little under two months after the nickname's debut, Griff recorded that during the gift exchange after dinner "Every second present or so was a necklace or earrings for Miss Jessie Debenham."

(deb and titus at midwinter dinner)

THIS GOT REALLY LONG SO CLICK READ MORE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED!!

in the second SPT issue of 1911, Griff's 17-page narrative "The Bipes" describes the inhabitants of the Cape Evans hut from the perspective of a rabbit who lives in the stables. you can read the whole thing here and please do!!! (you'll need a VPN outside the US) BUT here is the relevant bit dealing with Deb:

U. PULCHERRIMA. This Bipe inhabits a strongly defended Bungkh in the Ubdug burrow. It is supported by mighty baulks of timber and can only be reached by means of a dangerous ladder. The Bungkh is supplied with heavy hammers, piles of stones and other offensive weapons. These precautions are, I believe, necessary in the Bipe courtship, for she is often called upon to repel members of other burrows who approach her balcony with blandishments. Her time is chiefly occupied with a primitive quern or handmill, and at this she grinds for long hours every day. I judge that this merely satisfies some primitive habit, for no flour seems to be produced. But it is pleasant to see how strong is the feminine instinct.

the species name "Pulcherrima" is also the species name of the pointsetta flower, and can be translated to "beautiful woman" (i think??)

here's the illustration produced by Bill Wilson (based on Griff's sketch) to accompany the above - yes that's a portrait of Griff in her bunk and Birdie below attempting to woo her:

it must be noted that Meares, nicknamed "Mother," also gets cast in a female role in the Bipes piece, but does not receive the privilege of being drawn in a skirt, rip.

anyway, the next issue of the SPT, vol 3 issue III, is the last one to be produced before the end of winter. Griff decided to one-up himself and write a piece in which Jessamine takes center stage. The Ladies Letter is a pitch-perfect parody of the "Ladies Column" sections that appeared in many periodicals of the era—full of french fashion terms and simpering style suggestions. Griff brilliantly adapts the format for a pastiche on the subject of Antarctic fashion; not free, naturally, from general whiffs of period-typical misogyny, but as those being mocked in specific are fellow expedition members and not any actual women i forgive him.

written in the form of a letter from Jessamine to her absent friend Cynthia (whose identity i'm unsure of BUT i'm tempted to say is supposed to be Priestley, away at Cape Adare), the piece again features multiple expedition members in female roles, including Silas as "American" Sally Wright, Cherry as "Madame Chérie - that dear delightful person - who builds her beautiful creations on strictly scientific principles of hygiene and aesthetics" and Birdie as Madame Berdé, who "finds that for well developed figures it is most distinctive to use a cross-gartering well above the ankle. She herself is naturally a consistent exponent of this latter fashion."

and then of course there is Jessamine's star turn. she is wearing the newest fashion, "a modification of last year's 'tube skirt' [which] even more closely swathes the lower limbs, and it is necessary that the wearer should be rolled along by her maid."

Jessamine reveals that she is planning to induce Titus Oates to bring her a proposal of marriage through the clever use of themed charms on her chatelaine.

All the smartest girls have wreathed chains of mascots around the skirt, and a pretty idea, which I commend to you, is to have silver model made of those articles which interest THE ONLY MAN WHO COUNTS. Breathe this to no one! But Mappin & Webb are making me such a choice set. The cutest little pony; a horse snowshoe (this is very lucky); a dead rabbit; a popgun; and a silver blazon PER MARE PER TERRAM PRO TITO; this will be attached to my 'tube', and then I really do expect to bring him to a proposal.

this scenario was illustrated hilariously by Bill, complete with Jessamine being rolled along, and Titus ignoring her as could be expected, in favor of a pony (Christopher?):

now, Deb is on record saying that Titus was his best friend on the expedition, but it may well be a classic case of "you are not your best friend's best friend," because per other accounts Oates was much closer to Meares and Atch than he was to Deb. that's just an observation to add a little flavor to Jessamine's desperate pursuit as portrayed here...

and not to look a gift horse (ha) in the mouth, but i do feel that Bill's illustrations don't quiiiiiite do the genderfuckery of Griff's text justice—Jessamine describes herself as wearing a frock inspired by the aurora, but Bill instead draws Deb in normal sledging gear plus some non-dress-shaped colorful streamers. a missed opportunity...

also, lest you think that Griff was the only one partaking in the Jessamine joke in the SPT, there is also a sneaky reference in the anonymous feature "My Favorite Book":

(J-SS-- [JESSIE]: "Not like other girls")

BUT WAIT. THERE'S EVEN MORE.

viewing the handwritten drafts of the SPT held at the SPRI (because all of this is going to be an actual academic paper someday hopefully lol), i learned that there were a fair handful of references omitted from the final version, presumably thanks to Cherry's editorial oversight.

one "answer to correspondents" written by "Marie" Nelson went as follows:

Jessica: A single lady cannot be too careful about the respectability of her lodgings or the character of her companions.

(referencing Deb bunking with Griff and Gran, two of the more annoying/messy people in the hut)

and an unused entry in "Songs And Their Singers" by Teddy Evans was:

Oh What’s Womans Duty - Jasmin

lastly, and most importantly, the drafts contained the one instance i could find of deb firing back about this whole thing.

vol IV of the SPT consisted of one issue released during winter 1912, when a lot of people had gone home (including Griff), and everyone left behind knew the polar party was dead and they'd have to go look for their bodies in the spring. it was not a fun time. vol IV contained a lot of material written the previous year but not included, since for obvious reasons folks weren't really up to being silly. one of those pieces was "A Day's Doings, Told By Our Diarist," written during winter 1911 by Deb as a parody of Griff. it's pretty funny in published form (p. 72 of this pdf)—Deb is on-point mocking Griff's dislike of eating ("Breakfast is an unintellectual meal, so gave it a miss. Better a bit more bunk than a bite more breakfast.") and his never-ending theorizing ("Thought out a new theory as to the origin of debris cones: yesterday’s wasn’t good enough").

however, the draft is exponentially more hilarious. Cherry, damn him, cut the absolute BEST BIT:

Made a genre sketch of Jasmine brushing her (his) hair – it’s a fool nickname anyways, mixes up the genders. 

knowing Deb—quiet, patient, chronically non-confrontational—that's about as explicit as he was willing to get, as far as revealing how he felt about the nickname. writing Griff realizing that it's a bit silly, he reveals to some degree his own discomfort. now, was it a "protest too much" situation or had he genuinely gotten fed up with being the Designated Girl Of The Hut? we shall never know!!!!!!!!

however the draft of the piece ends thusly: "[I] got paralysed at chess by the wily Jasmine, it’s a mud game, if ever there was one. Hinc illae lacrimae!"

so despite all the aspersions cast on her honor, and the failure of Titus Oates to accept her proposal, Jessie still triumphs in the end :)))

[heich0e]

hewwo liv i think you mentioned you read nonfiction so i was wondering if you had any recs? i'm trying to widen my repertoire a bit more and start reading more nonfiction (as much as i love fiction i think my brain has started regressing a little), but the only nonfic ive ever dipped into are my econ textbooks haha

also i hope you're having a good day !!!!!

HI GUY!! i think one of the best parts abt non-fiction is how nondescript that classification is, and consequently how enormous and diverse your options are within it. i think it's easy for people to generalize non-fiction as being boring retellings of fact or history, because most people's first introductions to non-fiction reading are academic. but in reality there are so many different types of nonfiction, and so many different styles of presenting it in writing. (for the sake of simplicity i'm gonna just limit this convo to narrative nonfiction, but if u wanna read something expository like a text book or instruction manual power to ya.)

my recommendation would be to start with something like a biography or memoir. to me, reading a really good biography doesn't feel very different from reading a novel. you're still following someone's story, they're just a real person and not a character. from where i'm sitting right now i can see trevor noah's biography 'born a crime' on my bookshelf, and i remember really loving that one the first time i read it. having been a fan of his comedy, his narrative voice felt authentic and familiar throughout the book. setting aside his demonstrated talent for storytelling, it's also just a very interesting look into life in south africa under apartheid, along with its lasting impact, and as a mixed race child, noah's personal perspective is extremely compelling.

(keep in mind, i read that book as someone who was already a fan of trevor noah's so i immediately had a personal connection/interest to the story. if you have any comedians/musicians/actors/artists you really enjoy, maybe see if they've done any writing—that could help find something you connect with! i also recently read david mitchell's 'unruly' and i really enjoyed that one too—but i find him funny, and like learning about the history of monarchies. 'crying in h mart' by michelle zauner is also great.)

true crime is another popular non-fiction genre that i find people have an easier time getting into. i'm not a huge true-crime reader myself, but i've read a few interesting ones! i tend to go for ones that are more local to me, so i won't necessarily give any recs for this one.

i also had a weird phase where i was reading a lot of books about boats and shipwrecks. not sure what that was about. i read walter lord's 'a night to remember' when i was like 10 and i think that really is what it can all be traced back to. 'the wager' by david grann was fantastic (he also wrote killers of the flower moon which was very good, and not about a boat) but i recognize this is a very niche area of interest that u probably do not care about.

i also really like essay collections!! they tend to sort of cross or blur a lot of lines when it comes to genres, because while some would consider 'essay collection' a genre in and of itself, the essays themselves usually as collected around a particular topic or theme. another added benefit of essay collections are u can kind of leisurely pick away at them, or jump around in the book, since you usually aren't beholden to reading them cover to cover and following a single narrative thread. less pressure!!

a couple other recommendations, though at this point i'm sure you've given up on me (fair):

'the patriarchs' by angela saini

'i want to die but i want to eat tteokbokki' baek sahee

'persepolis' by marjane satrapi

ok i'll shut up now!! i don't even think this was helpful!! my advice to you would be to think about something you're already passionate about/interested in, and find a book about it!! or think about something you'd like to know more about or be better educated/informed on. it's out there i promise <3

[intertexts]

23, 4, 12!!!!

ahhh thank u!!! hi siren!!!! :3

>Dialogue or description? Why is the other one so hard?

description!!!!!!! i love description its like composing a painting but without all the legwork of the actual painting part.... i love how much weight small details can carry & how description is really what makes a scene come alive..... i guess my problem with dialogue is that i don't. talk very much in real life? in emotionally weighted scenarios like the ones i tend to end up writing? im more of a monosyllabic-words-and-nonverbal-noises-and-body-language guy. so it's just weird writing a lot of expository dialogue. and also i hate dialogue tags and the Way people say things is always just as important as what they're saying and it's so hard to convey the way something is being said without getting really repetitive about it...

>Do you have any OCs? Do you have a story for them?

YES augh i have Many ocs and. many stories for them and they are all in my head <3 most of them all take place in the same shared contemporary folkloric/fantasy/horror world & my favorite guys (currently) are six chambers, a sleazebag deadbeat detective with a deal with a devil to trade their own bodily pain for practical favors & taliesin almiraj, a disabled graduate student who's still mired in decade-old grief over the mysterious, violent death of their high school best friend <333

>If you write in more than one language, what's the difference?

all of my french writing is academic or nonfiction so i don't really know how well that compares!! i've thought about writing some arsène lupin fic en français just for practice in fiction writing, but i've never gotten around to it.... i still find writing in french more fluid-- surprising given my skill in it is probably less than a fifth of what it is in english-- i enjoy the relative conciseness of it compared to en though!!! i took a very long break btwn the functional fluency i gained in high school near quebec & getting back into actual language classes this past year, so i'm finally getting back to the point where i'm thinking in fr instead of manually translating everything in my head... i missed it!! love regaining skills i lost due to The Horrors! :] (i don't really write in spanish, just read & talk so i'm not counting that!)

This Arab Is Queer, edited by Elias Jahshan

⭐⭐⭐⭐

This collection of eighteen short essays by queer people with roots in the Arab world covers a wide variety of experiences, from gay and lesbian to trans and nonbinary, in many permutations. The content of the essays themselves are as varied as the authors, featuring everything from informative expository pieces(The Artist's Portrait of a Marginalized Man, by Danny Ramadan) to incredibly personal narratives(Return to Beirut, by Saleem Haddad). There's even something that appears to be short fiction(The Bad Son, by Raja Farah) as well as a piece that reads closer to poetry than anything else(Tweets to a Queer Arab Poet, by Omar Sakr). The contributors are Lebanese, Syrian, Sudanese, Iraqi, Egyptian and more, raised in both the Arab world and in the diaspora. The variety of voices featured, and the differing ways they choose to express their queerness, is this book's greatest strength.

There was little that really bothered me. Some essays were better than others. As mentioned in the introduction, there is some sexual content, both discussed and depicted in narrative form. I wasn't so much a fan of the latter(sex scenes in nonfiction always get me like that, it's too personal), but I understand why it was included from an artistic standpoint. My biggest complaint is that the included glossary was largely useless. Most of the terms in it were explained or translated in the works themselves, and every time I was unsure what a thing or phrase was, it was never in the glossary!

I recommend this book to anyone — LGBTQ or otherwise — who has an interest in exploring intersectional queer identities.

What Are the 12 Different Types of Writing?

When writing, you will need to understand the many forms of writing. These include descriptive, expository, and review writing styles. Knowing this will help you become a better writer.

Expository writing is writing in which answers to problems are explained, identified, and presented. This style of writing is often utilized in a variety of contexts. Some examples are academic writing, magazine articles, research papers, and technical write-ups.

An essay has three parts: an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. A thesis statement is usually included in an explanatory essay. A thesis statement is a summary of the essay's fundamental concept. It should be explicit enough to let the reader know what to anticipate yet wide enough to incorporate all relevant information.

Like all other forms of essays, an expository essay seeks to explain or clarify a topic. This might be a narrative, a fact, or a mix of the two.

Unlike persuasive writing, which attempts to persuade the reader, an explanatory essay does not try to convince the reader. Instead, it provides the reader with factual information about the issue while laying the groundwork for the author's argument.

Descriptive writing is a style of writing in which words are used to describe a topic. It might be fiction or nonfiction. The primary goal of descriptive writing is to assist readers in understanding the issue.

Authors should incorporate as much information as possible in their stories to make them more fascinating. They should also include sensory details such as smell, sound, and sight.

To improve the reader's experience, specific authors may use literary techniques such as similes and metaphors. While these skills are essential, they may be challenging to master.

In general, descriptive writing is brief. Authors often use adjectives, adverbs, and other literary techniques to accomplish their goals. It gives authors greater creative flexibility than argumentative or expository writing.

A poem, for example, might incorporate several types of descriptive writing. Most poetry will explain the composition's location, setting, and even atmosphere.

A narrative might range from a personal story to a historical event. Novels, short tales, and creative essays are narrative writing examples.

Business writing is professional workplace communication. It is used to communicate with clients, customers, and workers of a firm. These works are often meant to assist in enhancing a company's image. Emails, notes, proposals, and reports are all examples.

Business writing must provide all relevant information to the reader to be successful. This information must be correct, complete, and up to date. It must also be interesting. Business writers use persuasive language and communication to persuade readers that a specific action is preferable.

While the demands of each organization vary, business writing may be divided into four categories: transactional, informative, instructional, and persuasive. Each kind employs unique approaches, styles, and customs. Each form of writing serves a particular function.

In transactional writing, for example, the purpose is to present information in a straightforward and uncomplicated way. A person does not pay attention to grammar, spelling, or punctuation while writing in this style.

Persuasive writing includes review writing. Its purpose is to persuade the reader to agree with the author's point of view. This writing style is often utilized in advertising, cover letters, and other types of persuasive writing.

Several types of review writing include product, service, and literature reviews. All these writing styles use the same method to transmit information. They will explain the product, service, or literature while expressing their thoughts and concerns. Reviews may also include a call to action, such as a recommendation to purchase or not buy a particular product.

Someone may be paid by a firm to write a review of a particular product, service, or book. These businesses frequently pay for positive feedback so that clients may make more informed purchasing choices. Review writing is becoming more critical in the era of digitalization. People need to first read a review before purchasing online.

Expository Nonfiction: The Art of Informing and Explaining

Understanding Expository Nonfiction Expository nonfiction is a genre of writing that seeks to explain, inform, or enlighten readers about a specific topic using clear, factual language. Think of it as the opposite of narrative nonfiction, which tells a story. Instead, expository nonfiction focuses on sharing knowledge and information simply and straightforwardly. The goal is to make complex ideas…

11) what aspect of your writing do you think has most improved since you started writing?

i think just my flow in general has improved a lot over the years - also character voices in fiction/fanfiction & personal voice in nonfiction/expository. have not improved much in narrative prose and in fact have probably actively gotten worse but that’s fine. we give and take.

READERLY EXPLORATION #5

Hope Flack

Readerly Exploration #5 Due 3/8/21

Tompkins, Chapter 9, “Promoting Comprehension: Text Factors”

Big Takeaway: In this chapter, I learned how to explain the text factors of stories (narrative genres such as folklore, fantasy, realistic fiction, etc), nonfiction (alphabet books, biographies, reference books, etc.), and poems, and how to teach my students about text factors.

Nugget: “Nonfiction books are organized in particular ways called expository text structures… When readers are aware of these patterns, it’s easier to understand what they’re reading, and when writers use these structures to organize their writing, it’s easier for readers to understand” (pg. 308).

For this readerly exploration, I choose an excerpt from the chapter and shared it with a friend in another major, Kayla, and got her insight and perspective on it. I first asked Kayla what she knew about narrative genres. I asked her to name different types of stories, and she named fairytale, fable, science fiction, high fantasy, historical stories. I was very impressed that she knew that many categories, because she is in the health/science field (she was very impressed with herself as well). I then talked with her about her experiences with learning about text factors, and with reading certain genres. She said that she remembered starting nonfiction in fourth or fifth grade, which aligns with the book’s statement on page 306, where it discusses the shift from fiction to nonfiction in fourth grade. I then explained to her about expository text structures, and that there are five main structures: description, sequence, comparison, cause and effect, and problem and solution. She discussed that sequence is her favorite text structure, and that in the health field she does things in a specific order, and when she is reading her charts and books, she likes them to be in a sequence format. Overall, this readerly exploration was enlightening to me because I had to explain to Kayla what the different text structures are and what narrative genres are. Knowledge that comes naturally to me as an Education major does not come as naturally to her as a Health/Science major. Engaging in this readerly exploration helped me to better comprehend the reading, because it caused me to break down the terms and explain them to Kayla, allowing me to further engage with the reading.

Readerly Exploration #6

Tompkins chapter 9

Due Date: 03/10/2020

Big Takeaway: All texts and genres of writing have their own nuances and differences. Teachers must be aware of these various differences within each category and include students in the discussion of how each genre can vary.

Nugget of Knowledge: I found the section in nonfiction text features that focused on expository text structures to be very insightful. I recognized each pattern from either prior experience or previous learning about the type of pattern. However, what helped me the most was the figure on page 309 that gave each pattern and a sample passage and graphic organizer that could be used to explain the pattern. The passages helped reinforce what each pattern was aiming to discuss. I was then able to connect the pattern to how the graphic organizer could be utilized as well. These patterns could also be connected to fictional texts, as many pieces of literature also focus on patterns like description, cause-and-effect, or comparison.

Readerly Habit: “Read a wide variety of genres and formats of texts to grow in their knowledge and experiences as a reader.”

Explorations to Practice Readerly Habits: “Get inspiration from the assigned course reading(s) to find and read another text from a different genre or format and connect the two in some way.”

To explore this habit, I looked to find a text that exemplifies some of the features that I found from this chapter. After looking through the campus library, I found The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. I had previously read this book for a prior class on children’s literature, so I found it fitting to revisit the text to examine it for its’ text features. For genre, it is likely under the realistic fiction category, as the plot falls within the early 1900s of France. The plot contains three of the four kinds of conflict. The main character Hugo has a conflict with society because he feels outcast for living at a train station. He feels multiple conflicts with other characters because he often experiences social issues of not expressing his emotions. He lastly experiences conflicts with himself because he often wonders about how he would be different if his family survived on. The plot can also be diagramed (like figure 9-3). The setting is France during the early 1900s and goes through a week in the life of Hugo Cabret. There is mainly an omniscient viewpoint, where the reader is the only person who has full knowledge of each detail. If I was more thorough, The Invention of Hugo Cabret contains many (if not all) of the narrative devices that Tompkins listed out in the chapter.

This exploration was majorly helpful in my understanding of text features. Each factor I had learned previously, but connecting it to a book that I enjoyed made me understand the concepts more clearly. I understood how writers could insert each device, but I am usually not too keen on noticing these factors immediately within a text. Having an example for each device can become useful to compare texts and text factors in different forms of literature.
