Catching up on my beauty sleep.

I'm busy researching and writing a horror story, the theme of which is the bicameral mind. Steve Tem sez we furnish our own ghosts and do all the haunting.

 

[sr71plt]

Research and write more stories, please. Use up a lot of time and effort toward that.

Aunt Shabby,

It wont stop the next STELLAR eruption. And I'm over the politics. If you wanna fertilize the Liberty Tree, count me in. Otherwise I'm not interested in kicking the can around.

Maybe you can help me. The plan is to briefly touch the theme of my story within a short converation, but its a complex theory. Still, its not so complex I cant distill it to its salient points. I dont think the reader cares about the subtleties and nuances; I think the reader only cares it something explodes or contaminates the world with cooties. They want the bottomline not a lecture. Agree, disagree, dont give a fuck?

Hit the high spots and the part that makes the story go boo. Otherwise, as my daughter keeps saying, too much information is not a good thing.

 

[DeeZire]

The only entertaining way to divulge boring information is during a fight scene, or a sex scene. "I Fucked Anne Coulter In The Ass - Hard" comes to mind - a very wonky political discussion taking place during a very aggressive sex act.

Now, that would be an interesting and "Heated" political discourse.

Some horror and sci-fi writers go whole-hog.

 

[Dragonlipz]

A couple of lines of conversation can touch the salient points intuitively and obliquely as two pages of narrative........

and some are good writers

How could I help you with that when all you want from an editor is pointing to composition errors? This would be concept and design, wouldn't it? You want editors to keep their mitts off that.

He's changed his course. He's the next Thomas Wolfe, you're his future Maxwell Perkins. A televised sitcom will be put into production.

That's a nonstarter. I don't do pedophilia.

Set em straight Aunt Shabby!

Thomas Wolfe? Oh! Please!

Pete Dexter is a much better writer than Wolfe.

A lot of people say Thomas Wolfe was an atrocious writer because he relied so heavily on his editor to tell a story. I'm not talking about Tom Wolfe, I don't know Peter Dexter. I'm talking about the guy who wrote You Can't Go Home Again. Tom Wolfe of Electric Koolaid and Bonfire is okay, but he's not so hot compared to his own contemporaries.

Well bust my buttons, I was certain Maxwell Perkins was still editing 40 years after he died. Was Tom Wolfe even born while Perkins was alive?

FYI Dexter is a better writer than either Wolfe, but dont take my word for it.

Peter Dexter is pretty much a contemporary of Tom Wolfe, so yes, I thought you might be confused. If you referred to F. Scott Fitzgerald as a better writer you would've been in the ballpark. Yes, Tom Wolfe was born in the 30s, I'm sure there is some crossover...transmigration of souls, reincarnation...now that I think about it -- I doubt you know anything about Thomas Wolfe born 1900.

 

[sr71plt]

I'm afraid of Virginia Woolf. Does that count?

I read Wolfe's biography, Perkins', too.

In sci-fi whole hog is usually reserved for hard sci-fi where the readers are real geeks and want the science to be solid and detailed and the wild stuff plausibly extrapolated.
