A Writer’s Rule Book

From Hunter’s Writing

Sound advice, but there’s a couple of points I don’t quite agree with.

Show, don’t tell - except there are times when you need an ellipsis, or to skip over something that is not relevant to the immediate plot. It’s up to you to choose when to show and when to tell.

Never start with dialogue - starting a story with a line of dialogue might be awkward, but sometimes dialogue is a good way to start things in medias res (Jules Verne’s The Mysterious Island starts with ten lines of dialogue, without a single clue as to who is speaking).

Kids and animals can’t die - you don’t have to follow Hollywood rules. Children and animals are not immune to epidemics or accidents. If your story is set in plague-ridden 14th century Europe, for instance, the very real danger of sickness can make readers worry for your characters. If the universe you’re writing (historical or fantasy) has a severe food shortage, pets have a short life expectancy, particularly in cities. Maybe a better way to phrase this rule would be “Never make death gratuitous”.

Just my two centimes.

A Library for the Subway

A trio of students from the Miami Ad School—Max Pilwat, Keri Tan and Ferdi Rodriguez—have came up with an innovative concept that allows people to read the first ten pages of popular books while riding the subway. 

Using near field communications (NFC) technology, commuters select the desired book from a list of popular titles and read its first ten pages—upon finishing, the reader will be informed of the closest library location from which they can pick up and read the rest of the book. 

This is a simple but ingenious idea that can be adopted and adapted to encourage reading in the 21st century, when new technology is changing the way we consume books.

Vacation Leav….ing for Good

Apart from the days that seemed like all I did was nonsense, I’m pretty much enjoying the fact that I can sleep in or choose not to sleep at all, playing video games and perusing ebooks and old magazines. I also found that my love for drawing died along with the realization that my innate ability cannot match my drive. What to do with the half-filled, ancient sketchbooks ,then? Burrrrrn!! Hahaha…
Off I go now to do more tedious grown-up stuff…
Why can’t I just do what I love and get paid tall stacks of cash in exchange???!
