Speculative Fiction And Contemporary Culture
Should writers change and speak into the culture through our writing, through our stories?

From The Writers’ Toolbox: Keep ‘Em On The Line
Writers also need to create characters with whom readers can relate and for whom they can cheer.

Redundant Redundancies
Like Orwell’s animals, some redundancies are more equal than others.

From The Writers’ Tool Box: Writing With Tension
Fiction needs genuine and credible struggles.

For Those Who Write: Three People Who Steal Your Writing Joy
You can pour yourself into what you write and leave a trail of blood, sweat, and tears along the way, only to produce low sales numbers and tepid responses.

Paul Regnier
A Vulnerable Technique
Flashbacks possess a special nature, generally inclined to be awkward.

Arresting Attention
These beginnings showcase the art of the good opening.

The Humility Deficit
We all live under the same rules, and one of the most basic of those rules is: Don’t be a jerk.
·

The Best-Worst Cliches
Today, we are going to talk about cliches in fiction, or at least one special subset of them: those that annoy us.

Personal Predilections
A book’s quality is not measured by how much it appeals to us personally.

A Rich Web
The web of rich and potent customs surrounding Easter is a testament to how profoundly religion molds culture. And it makes me wonder again why religion is so neglected in speculative fiction as an element of world-building.

No Pressure
Writers live on the edge of expectation. Unpublished authors live with the expectation of editors for crisp writing, fresh stories, yet ones that aren’t so far “out there” that readers will not want to go on the reading journey with them. The expectation is that writers will find that razor thin balance between the comfortably familiar and the inventively original.

Scary Title Alert: The Discipline Of Reading Fiction
Readers get inoculated by “fun” fiction, and no longer approach stories as vehicles of ideas, shown not told. When we as Christians do look for meaning, we are primarily looking for a Christ figure and a picture of redemption. We rarely dig deeper.
