When Life Slams the Brakes

-


Remember my post last week? The one where I said it was hard to get things done? A few hours after I posted it, I had to slam the brakes on in my life. Yep, it's like my post managed to stop almost all activity in its tracks.

Wellllll, I didn't do it singlehandedly, but it's almost like a jinxed myself. Have you ever felt that way? Like you just put something out there and the mere suggestion tweaked your life for the next few days? Oddly, I do teach a concept to my corporate training clients called self-fulfilling prophecy, so there's actually some basis of fact based on the idea, but I'll tell you about that another day.

Anyway, this is a short and sweet post because things happened last week that put the brakes on. And I don't mean a gentle slow down. More like, you look up and see the car in front of you stopped, and you almost stand up while slamming the brakes down.

We're all ok. No one's sick or injured or anything horrible, so no worries please. It's nothing we can't handle. It's almost like life said: "Hey, you! You've got too much going on. I told you to stop, and you didn't listen, so I'm going to force you to stop."

"Woohoo," I responded sarcastically, followed by a, "Seriously?" And if I have to be honest, a good bit of whining. Hey! I'm human, too.

The massive train wreck of our lives last week has been cleared, and I'm moving forward. I will be posting again soon, but this is it for today.

Watch out for those brake lights in front of you!

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 ...
