Whew! Busy Days

-



Yes, I know. I took off a week and didn't post. Sometimes things get a bit too hectic around here, and I haven't managed to set up extra posts to pop in during those days.

What was so hectic? Well, I chaperoned my grandson's field trip to Dollywood last week. It poured rain most of the day, but when you've paid for a field trip, you go. The park wasn't closed because we didn't get any lightning. At least it wasn't hot. Wandering around in a park wearing a rain poncho and trying to keep up with a bunch of 5th grade boys took the wind out of my sails. I think I would have preferred the heat over rain. Oh well. We did have fun and didn't worry about sunburn or dehydration.

Last weekend, my granddaughter and I attended the Scottish Games in Greenville. The pic at the beginning of this post is the band Albannach. It's not the games if they don't play. Seriously, if you've never heard of them, check them out. We watched the competitions synonymous with highland games, ate food, listened to the drum and bagpipe corps, danced to the highland bands, giggled over the sheep herding, and more. The fish and chips this year were the best I've had yet, but I'm bummed I missed out on the shortbread. They always sell out, and I didn't get to that vendor's booth in time.

It was a fun day and this past Saturday was not too hot, either. Perfect weather for a day outside.

This weekend, I'm heading to ConCarolinas 2022 in Charlotte. Here's my schedule:



If you happen to be at ConCarolinas, please stop by and say hi. If you mention you read my blog, I'll give you a gift in appreciation.

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 ...
