#writersCoffeeClub 16 March: What's the largest cast you've ever written? What made it challenging? I have written a novel with four point of view characters (i.e., four narrators). I think the hardest thing at that point is coming up with a story that can be equally owned between them all. For example, when I write a Sam/Ulysses story, the main plot is a thing they have to solve together. With four, obviously everyone has some of their own stuff going on, but there also has to be a way they come together. There's also the problem of keeping the dramatic tension going when there are more people knowing more things. That said, it was fun to write and I look forward to when I get to rewrite it.

#writersCoffeeClub 13 Mar: Talk about an experience where you consulted an expert for a piece of writing. Let me see. When I first started writing about Laz, I talked to a friend who is a veteran with PTSD. She graciously read some of his sections and gave me feedback. When I wrote LHftW, I had a neurologist friend take a look at some sections. And I'm always asking people who are experts in various languages for translation assistance.

#writersCoffeeClub 10 March: How informal is your prose? Is there a limit to informality?

I think my narration is pretty middle-of-the-road, in terms of formality. The dialog can be a bit more informal--I use slang but generally I don't go as far as writing dialect markers like "gonna," or god forbid trying to write accents. I think the relevant model is the prose of The Crying of Lot 49, rather than Inherent Vice.

#writersCoffeeClub March 9: Do you prefer to write complex, intricate plots, or more straightforward ones? I guess the way that I write, the plot is sort of what happens as the characters wander around. So it should feel straightforward, because their reasoning takes them from point A to point B and onward. I'm not sure what the plots themselves look like if viewed from the outside--in one novel, the characters climb into a magic painting. But I usually want it to seem straightforward.

#writersCoffeeClub March 8: Do the seasons influence your writing?

I live in Wisconsin, where we have a lot of cold and dark, and I am prone to SAD.

I think when it's darker, my kids sleep later so I have more time to write without interruption.

#writersCoffeeClub 6 Mar: Is there a local writing community near you? Do you participate in it? There are some writing groups on MeetUp, or there used to be. I went to one once and stayed on the mailing list until it ended. I saw some of the works that were being critiqued for the other and decided I couldn't do it with a straight face. Also, as much as I would relish making a bunch of self-important Literary Fiction-writing people (men) read my queer little romances, I don't think it would have been fun for any of us. In fact the best part of my current writing group (we meet on zoom) is that everyone always enjoys reading my stuff. I'm starting to become more of a part of the local *author* community here, though! That has been fun.

#writersCoffeeClub 3/3: On what are you unwilling to compromise?

As I think some of the other self-published writers have mentioned, I don't compromise on much.

Even my covers, which were originally an "I can't afford a professional artist and I have to put *something* on the front of the book" measure, have come to be meaningful to me and make the books extremely recognizable.

#writersCoffeeClub 2/28: How did your month go, in terms of writing? The first part of it, I was scrambling to get a manuscript off to my editor. Then during my weeks of freedom, I finished one short piece, started one, and pecked at the revisions for two novels. I found a title for one novel (always very difficult). I drafted the newsletter that goes out...maybe tomorrow? In other words, I wish I'd gotten more done, but I did get a lot done. And I got some sleep. So! Not bad.

It's always a bit depressing to see something one knows a bit about enter public discourse. The realization that I was the only one who did the reading is disheartening.

The Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect, I guess.

#writersCoffeeClub 2/24: What's your greatest challenge in fleshing out your setting? I've written multiple novels about the same place, but I can't rely on people having read all of them. But most people will have! So make each book seem complete and firmly settled in its place without being repetitive. Find new things to talk about.

#writersCoffeeClub 2/22: Are there types of settings you avoid writing? High fantasy, which I don't enjoy reading (it often seems like an under-researched version of the middle ages). I've also been reading Patrick O'Brian, and although I love everything about the book, I don't even know a mast from a yardarm or a cannon from a carronade. I don't know, there's a lot of time periods I probably wouldn't write, to be honest. I don't even know if I could deal with writing a contemporary. Most contemporary authors try to obscure when exactly their stuff is happening so it can be continually present, while I really want my stuff to be fixed to a specific date/time.

#writersCoffeeClub 2/20: How has a setting surprised you? For my entire life, State Street has been a pedestrian mall, so I was surprised to learn this didn't happen until 1974. Also, the Kollege Klub (it's a bar, called the KK by locals, about as bad as you'd guess) used to be right next to Memorial Library on State. I think they must have moved to Lake Street (i.e. right around the corner) in 1972ish, when Memorial was expanded. It's just an incredibly UW-Madison thing to have a bar right next to the library.

#writersCoffeeClub 2/19: What's your biggest challenge when crafting a satisfying ending?

I always want things to be okay. A lot of the time, I have to go through and take out every time the characters say "are you okay" to each other, because it is too much. So I come up with my solution to whatever the problem is, and that happens, and we're done! And then I have to go back and add tension, and make sure it goes on for long enough that it feels like it satisfies the rest of the novel.

#writersCoffeeClub 2/18: How balanced are your finished works? What do you do to achieve that balance? I mean....everyone needs a gravedigger scene, right? I think the ratio of dinosaurs and sodomy shifts from book to book based on a lot of things. I've definitely written books that would be scarier if there was less sodomy, because the dinosaur parts are quite scary. But I think that would have unfairly imposed something onto the book that it didn't want. I think the new book is more tense than the others. But that may be because I know what happens.

#writersCoffeeClub 2/17: How do you write about ecstasy, in a spiritual, artistic, or sensual context? Hmm...generally, descend into the particulars, by which I mean details of what someone is feeling. Sensual scenes demand reference to the sensory apparatus! It can't just be "he felt overwhelmed" or "they moaned ecstatically." Make the details peculiar to the character, and linger on them. Slow down the language and enjoy what you're doing. Make a real meal of it.

#writersCoffeeClub 2/12: How unique is the setting of your current WIP? I mean, Madison, WI in 1971 is right here, and anyone could write about it. The problem is that people don't. Most romance novels are set in New York City or in a small town someone made up (and very few romances are set in the middle of the 20th century generally). Even fewer urban fantasy novels in these settings. So...pretty unique compared to other books, but it's not unique in an absolute sense.

Forgot to add that last I heard, we'd raised over $23k. So that's pretty awesome! Let's finish strong!

#writersCoffeeClub 1/31: What did you learn this month about your writing process/habits that you want to carry forward? I've realized that sometimes, professional developmental edits are really useful, and it's good to build extra slack into the schedule in case I wind up wanting them.

#writersCoffeeClub 1/30: This month, how did you successfully navigate a challenge or a sticky point in your writing? Somehow it's still January. Okay. I sent my novel for an emergency developmental edit, and now I am taking the advice of my editor. I am still lowkey losing my mind, but I have a plan, and that helps.

@index Thanks! I was pretty fond of it. This book just already has too much stuffed into it.

#writersCoffeeClub 1/29: Which phrase, paragraph, or page are you most proud of writing this month? On my way to cut this whole subplot, but I liked it.

#writersCoffeeClub 1/27: What's a technical skill you think should be more widespread? I'm always a little surprised at the number of people who seem to be unable to identify a good sentence or even a grammatical one without the use of (now) AI-adjacent products like Grammarly or Pro Writing Aid. The other day I saw someone agonizing about whether or not using PWA to edit their book before sending to an agent meant they were using AI, b/c a lot of agents apparently won't touch a manuscript that was created using AI. And I just think...if you knew how to write a grammatical sentence, if you could judge for yourself whether your sentence was having the effect you want...you wouldn't need that shit. This wouldn't even be a question. Those programs don't do anything for you that you can't do for yourself. Another popular subgenre of post is "I fed my manuscript into the LLM and asked it to make suggestions." Okay. Maybe don't. Learn to trust your own judgement, find some friends, or hire an editor.
