TK Kenyon Reviews Cryoburn by LM Bujold at SF Signal

I only gave it 4.5 stars. Is that enough for a Hugo-nominated novel?

Harry Potter, Othello, and The Matrix: Story Structure

This excellent lecture in five parts by Dan Wells (he of the excellent podcast Writing Excuses) on story structure is a must-see. Get out a big notepad and prepare to take notes.

Dr. Kenyon’s Daily Writing Apple is a daily writing prompt to help you with your fiction work-in progress, instead of an unrelated writing exercise in creative futility that asks you to write about an elephant or how some other character feels.

Just thought you guys might like to know that I reviewed Cryoburn by Lois McMaster Bujold at SFSignal.com.

I think I was fair, but I'd love to hear your comments.

Kurt Vonnegut Explains Story Plots for You

Kurt Vonnegut was a genius. No doubt about that, he just was.

Here, he explains the three story plots for you, and he's funny, and he's right.

Watch and learn, friends. Watch and learn.

Harper Collins Stole Cover Art from An Artist

This is egregious.

Look at the original art (left.) The Harper Collins book cover is on the right.

Wow. Other than the fact that the HC cover is less artistically interesting both in composition and detail, and the color and light are all wrong, it's a revoltingly close copy.

Did they know? Is this just a coincidence?

Heck, no. HC contacted Nathalia Suellen (the artist) to buy this exact piece of art for this exact book. She wouldn't sell it to them because she had already sold it to someone else for a book cover.

So they copied it.

Right down to the bird.

Cheaters.

Me, as I see myself, on Mad Men. (Any similarity to real life may be coincidence.)
