The Muse in the Mirror: So I win. Now what?

The Muse in the Mirror. Reflections on writing, reading, and whatever else is on my mind. Monday, November 30, 2009. So I win. Now what? The story that I originally set out to write ended at 20,000 words, and at 40,000 words I was running out of ideas, but NaNo pushed me to keep asking, “Okay, what happens next? In other news, my self-imposed ban on reading has been lifted, which means I can continue my slog through "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown. How unfortunate. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

By US columnist Emily Bazelon about how she celebrates her sons’ birthday parties. The two boys, Eli and Simon, are 10 and 7 – and ever since the older boy’s third birthday they have celebrated a “bookswap” birthday party. The problem is that the children hate it. After the first three years of the bookswap at nearly 6 Eli protested. That was four...

The Muse in the Mirror: How To Write "Da Vinci Code" Part 4

The Muse in the Mirror. Reflections on writing, reading, and whatever else is on my mind. Thursday, December 10, 2009. How To Write "Da Vinci Code" Part 4. There's been a lot of random chatter lately on how to be "the next Dan Brown." Particularly enjoyable is the "Dan Brown Sequal Generator" from Slate. Which is hilariously, and unfortunately, accurate. I started reading " The Lost Symbol. When the book came out three months ago. I loved " The Da Vinci Code. Create a victim. They should be very powe...

The Muse in the Mirror: Goals for 2010
http://alissacarleton.blogspot.com/2009/12/goals-for-2010.html
The Muse in the Mirror. Reflections on writing, reading, and whatever else is on my mind. Thursday, December 31, 2009. Getting together a few writing/reading goals for 2010 has definitely been on my mind for the last two days, and I feel like it's sort of a contract with myself. If I put it in writing, and post it in public, I'm somehow more accountable. So here are my goals, and hopefully by next December, I can report back favorably! Read more books - Lost Wanderer threw down the gauntlet. I resolve to...

The Muse in the Mirror: Gender and POV
http://alissacarleton.blogspot.com/2009/12/gender-and-pov.html
The Muse in the Mirror. Reflections on writing, reading, and whatever else is on my mind. Thursday, December 3, 2009. So apparently I am not done with my NaNo work because it seems to still be sucking up a lot of my brain power. Tonight's procrastination exercise (posing as pseudo-experiment) was with "The Gender Genie,". Just to see what the Genie would say. The Genie actually has different settings for fiction, non-fiction, and blog entries, so I wanted to test out each setting. First off, all of my ch...

The Muse in the Mirror. Reflections on writing, reading, and whatever else is on my mind. Tuesday, January 19, 2010. Book Club, Part One. Today I joined a book club. Okay, well, technically I joined a book club a month and a half ago, because I had to read the book,. Next month we read. By Cornelia Funke, which I've heard good things about.

The Muse in the Mirror: Things I Learned This Week
http://alissacarleton.blogspot.com/2010/01/things-i-learned-this-week.html
The Muse in the Mirror. Reflections on writing, reading, and whatever else is on my mind. Saturday, January 9, 2010. Things I Learned This Week. This week has been a zoo, but I swore I'd post something every week so I'm due. Thus, these are the things I learned this week:. My new full-time job provides precious little free time for writing, particularly in the first week on the job. Gone with the Wind. Time to come up with a new plan for that whole dilemma, because this week wasn't terribly successful.
