I finally have the analogy to describe why I find the #writing to flow much better when I first write by hand on paper, and then on the computer, rather than directly on the keyboard. Writing on paper is like doing a keyboard sketch of an orchestral composition, and then when I put it on the computer, which for me includes revision, edit, often expansion, sometime deletion and moving, this is like orchestrating a full score. There you have it ... well, kind of 🙆

die Stunde ist doch spät, bzw. gegen Mitternacht, aber es ist Schreibe-Zeit 🕛 also los geht's!

so I did it again, posted my author thoughts on @AriadneAnarchist by mistake. Here's a copy/paste then: need to rein in my characters today. They are trying to get me to write/add to three different chapters simultaneously, and as much as I love being outside of space-time, that's not working for getting things productively on the page 😘 so characters, please be a little patient today, wait for your turn, and you'll get your part written down, I promise ☀ #writing #sf

toooo much non-writing life got in the way this week 😠🉑but just had a nice exercise walk in the cold drizzle, and worked out a stuck-point around one of my main characters, so that's good (and the sheep 🐑 in the field fit into my characters' development, why didn't I notice that before?)

oops, didn't finish my thought. Two of the heroes are on board a freighter in the North Atlantic where they not only are beginning to really fall in love (as far as I can tell) but are unravelling a mystery of the plot.

back to writing one of the mid-chapters of my book. Two of the heroes (I almost wrote heroines, not to be sexist, but one is lesbian and the other is ... more complicated you'll have to read the story ;)

there, I really like the way that chapter reads now! Thanks @raymescallado for your comments - they really helped! (I think I'll sleep well tonight now :) xx

well, maybe just over on @anticapitalist.party :) nah, jk x

Interesting #Guardian article about #Poetry Society’s Ted Hughes award winner "Hollie McNish the politics and poetry of boyfriends, babies and breastfeeding" https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/jun/16/hollie-mcnish-politics-of-poetry-ted-hughes-prize-winner

does anyone have any general thoughts on #narrative voice in fiction or specifically science fiction? Is there a voice you prefer when reading a novel, or perhaps you prefer a mix like that used in "Cloud Atlas"? Any and all thoughts and comments are really appreciated! (I have several "main characters" in the book I'm currently writing, and more and more I think different narrative voices for each character might work better. Thanks for your ideas! xx #writing #sf #fiction

pseudo-work day today, but the weather is the best in weeks - maybe catch some afternoon sun and writing? hope so!

... and I've gotten quite a bit written today :) back to writing ...

time for me to do less tooting, more writing :) (but I am still listening, so ...)

ok the "day job" part of today is done, time to get down to some writing :)

didn't get to writing my book today :( too many mundane things and people stopping by 4 or 5 hours late and then staying for dinner didn't help, either (sigh) but, there is tomorrow - die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt ;)

@boots would be great to follow you and have you follow back :)
