le train
“… l’appétence pour le train est colossale”. “C’est le moyen le plus décarboné de transporter du monde et de transporter un maximum de monde avec un minimum de nuisances…” Merci FranceInfo, . Ni, pour le projet Do Better de ShiraDest publications et les transports en commun du premier étape, Phase I …
serie Lume
Foi muito interessante, como uma combinação da história do Cain e Abel, com motivos económicos para a transição ecológica. Foi contado em três idiomas: Português, Castellano, e Galego. Obrigada, RTP . A Antónia, ou a Ni, o apoio do serviço públicos, e etapas I e II do Projeto Do Better de ShiraDest publicações…
Some Categories To Learn On Public Transportation?
One of the ideas I had while writing about Project Do Better (link below…) was for special Study Compartments on mass transit, like the roomettes on Amtrak, I guess, but just a small space with a desk for students/educators/lawyers/business people, etc to get work done during their travel time. This new category, alongside free “standing passengers” and other categories of free or reduced…
Some Words Not To Use On Public Transportation!
Ok, I know that many people, for some reason, like to learn the groser’ias (groserias are ‘foul words’ in Mexican Spanish…) first in a language, for some perverse reason. (from which comes one of my favorite comments in the series El Ministerio del Tiempo, when SubSecretario Salvador asks why the first thing that people learn in a language are always ‘los tacos’ or the bad words…) And,…
Review: James Wood's How Fiction Works
I read this book back in 2013, but never wrote up my notes, which languished in my Research Notebook until now. I’ve never forgotten his advice to “Do Conrad’s” thing and get the characters “in” to the story, and in motion, especially by introducing them via some sort of motion. Aside from that advice, to me, this book seems to be a good set of pointers for a more advanced writer, or at…
Some Smaller & Bigger Options On Public Transportation?
An idea I mentioned last week about creating special Study Compartments on mass transit, a little bit like the roomettes on Amtrak, as small work spaces with a (standing?) desk for students/educators/lawyers/business people, etc to get work done during their travel time, fits well with this week’s notes. The suffix “et” in Esperanto means “small” or makes a word a diminutive, just as a…
Writing Process Wednesdays: Genre Questions
I’m starting to think that figuring out the genre might also be better left to after the rough draft is written, but if you plan to pitch, everyone says it’s best to write to a genre expectation from the outset. That worked for me, for this book, since I wanted fearful dreams and daring sacrifices, making psychological thriller seem like an interesting possibility. That also tends to be one…
Writing Process Wednesdays: Painful Cuts
I now see that sometimes what appears to be a scene excerpt, when first imagining the dialogue, may later turn out to be important character voice and thought pattern, but not work as part of the book. Character bible folders would have helped, earlier, for this, rather than sticking this page into my research notes, for whatever odd reason I did that. I also see even more clearly,…
