Help! I Need A Book to Read

-

I've been reading a lot of books lately, many of them on audio since I seem to be always on the go. For some reason, I've hit a dry spell where nothing really jumps out at me. I'm still reading, but I want a book to enthrall me. Not sure why this is happening, but usually when it does, I need to step away from my preferred genre of fantasy for a short while. Read something else.

Summer break is just around the corner, so maybe I need to pick up some beach reads. Of course, for me beach read doesn't always mean light and easy. A few years ago, I read the life of Mary Queen of Scots while on vacation. See? I still like to engage my brain while being entertained.

The same goes for movies. We took the grands to see the latest Fantastic Beasts movie. I hoped for something amazing and enthralling, but this one falls short. I've felt that about the previous movies in this series, too, but this one is definitely the least entertaining. The story line just doesn't gel.

Will I go see the next one when it comes out? Probably. The wizarding universe still intrigues me. 

Maybe I'll find some great books to read after this weekend. I'm headed to AtomaCon in North Charleston, SC, so if you're in the Charleston, SC area, come see me. I'll have an author table, appear on several panels (schedule below), and try to check out some of the film festival. I do love getting away to talk about books and writing and all things related.



Just in case I don't find something to hold my attention, feel free to leave your book and movie suggestions in the comments. I'll read most genres, so don't limit yourself.

Skin Tone: Describing Your Characters

-

When you write about character's of different races, how do you describe their skin tone? If you've never thought about this, then consider this question: How do the authors you read described persons of color? A few months ago, I attended a webinar about writing diverse characters. The guest was Eliana West of Writers for Diversity . The information she shared felt fresh and valuable, especially related to describing a character's skin tone. I get really tired of seeing African-descended characters described in terms of the goods that drove, and still drive the slave trade--coffee, chocolate, brown sugar. There's some weird psychosocial baggage attached to that.    -- N. K. Jemisin As this quote from author, N. K . Jemisin , indicates, historically, writers have described people of color using food-related descriptors. Many people of color find this offensive. This surprised me, at first, but she has a point, especially when you view it through the quote above. My fir...

Character Development: Using the Johari Window

-

In my last post, Character Development: the Johari Window , I introduced the Johari Window as a tool for developing your characters. It's important that your character not know everything about their situation. These unknowns can lead to an intriguing story and create possibilities for conflict within the story. How do you use the Johari Window? In this post, I thought I'd provide a simple example of the Johari Window with a character most people know:  Harry Potter. Below, I have filled out the Johari Window as it might appear within the first few pages of book 1, Harry Potter and The Sorceror's Stone . The Johari Window based on Harry Potter and The Sorceror's Stone Three of the quadrants in this window reveal what Harry doesn't know about who he truly is and what happened to his parents. I could add a lot to the quadrants representing what he doesn't know, but I hope this gives you an idea on how a Johari Window might be used. What do you d...

He Said, She Said, Who Said? Punctuating Dialogue

-
Image
Courtesy of Morguefile.com I've been focusing my posts on workshops and panels I taught or participated on at the Imaginarium Convention. Although this serves as a poor substitute for the real thing, I can share some highlights. This week, we're going to explore dialogue punctuation. The first thing writers need to learn is how to properly punctuate dialogue. I've discovered, over the years, that many don't know how. Notice in the first example below, the dialogue starts at the beginning of the sentence, and the speaking tag (he said, she said, Paul said, etc.) follows it.  A few points to notice: The first letter of the quotation is capitalized. What the person says is a sentence, so it must be capitalized. A comma comes directly after the quote and INSIDE the quotation marks. You can, also, have a question mark or exclamation point here. There is a space AFTER the closing quotation mark followed by the speaking tag and a period at the end of the sentence. In the next ...
