Robin Ambrose: Consequences, Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

http://robinambrose.blogspot.com/2015/02/consequences-anyone-anyone-bueller.html

How NOT to Write a Query. Friday, February 27, 2015. My sons talked me into watching Expelled. This week. It's an hour and a half I'll never get back, so I figured I'd spend more time trying to save everyone else from it. What, exactly, does your character want in this scene? What is he doing right now to try to get it? How does he feel about what he's doing? Yanno, the basics. But that wasn't the real problem with the movie. Let me explain. No, is too long: Let me sum up:. Along the way, he gets help fr...

Robin Ambrose: How NOT to Write a Query

http://robinambrose.blogspot.com/p/how-not-to-write-query_16.html

How NOT to Write a Query. How NOT to Write a Query. Once it became painfully obvious that I had no clue how to write one of these query thangs, I decided I'd better at least figure out all the things I shouldn't. Do in a query. See, I had this teacher in college that liked to define things by including what they aren't and. Anyway, this series was born. If you'd like to peruse my past entries for private enjoyment/enlightenment/self-actualization, here's what I've done so far:. How NOT to Write a Query.

Robin Ambrose: Entangled Plots (or why I'm not a pantser, either)

http://robinambrose.blogspot.com/2011/04/entangled-plots-or-why-i-not-pantser.html

How NOT to Write a Query. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Entangled Plots (or why Im not a pantser, either). And I can't know why she'd choose him until I know what he says to her. And I don't know what he says to her until I see what else is happening in the scene! And around we go.). But then, when I try "discovery writing" or "pantsing," I run into dead-ends. It's a very fun game with all sorts of parallels to writing. Parallels I've been dwelling on lately, instead of, you know, writing. So I combine the tw...

Robin Ambrose: June 2014

http://robinambrose.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

How NOT to Write a Query. Tuesday, June 24, 2014. What OW Can Teach Us About Building a Better Hero. There's been a lot- possibly too much- said about the Ordain Women "movement" (can we call it a movement when it's so tiny? These women were demonstrably strong and, just like that, they. weren't. If we look at the church as a fantasy magic system, the antagonist just scored some major points, yes? This got me thinking about Kaladin in Words of Radiance. I'm not going to spoil Words of Radiance. Since the...

Robin Ambrose: "No Award" and How to Parent Unruly Children

http://robinambrose.blogspot.com/2015/04/no-award-and-how-to-parent-unruly.html

How NOT to Write a Query. Friday, April 10, 2015. No Award" and How to Parent Unruly Children. Old news in the 2015 Hugo Awards debacle is that those who hate the Sad Puppies - not the works on the slate, mind you, but the very idea of public slates, the proponents of the slate, those who agree with the proponents of the slate, and, by extension, every author named on the slate - are lobbying that everyone who hates what they hate should vote "No Award" in. And general button-pushing. He grows frustr...

Robin Ambrose: January 2015

http://robinambrose.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

How NOT to Write a Query. Friday, January 30, 2015. I'm new at this, so you experienced freelancers out there should bear with me if I'm painfully naive, but I was quite tickled by this "offer" I received for a freelancing job (from a list I subscribed to). Then the advertisement keeps going, and I realize I'm wrong. Yeah no. Simple understanding of the complex vacuum of space? Simple understanding of the possibility of alien life and how that alien life could develop in a different environment? But let'...
