I'm wracking my mind for a topic for a blog post with the SyFy Channel on in the background and Wookie, my alien kitten, lounging in her bed in front of the window. Suddenly, she looks up and chirrups which I take to mean 'Hey, Hooman, wats dat on TV?' I glance over and what do I see? Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in a third MIB trailer! And this one involves time travel (looks pretty cool too). I start wondering when it will hit the big screen when Wookie gives me the stink eye.
I realize what she was trying to do...She was telling me to bring up one of my older blog posts (time travel? LOL, yeah, maybe.) So I thought you might enjoy seeing this post originally on Savvy Authors.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi all, I'm Lynda and I'm a
writing craft book junkie.
I peruse all the books at B&N
or my smaller local bookstores to see if I can find that one teensy secret to
creating outstanding characters, or wonderful plots, or using description, or
witty dialogue, or even books on naming your characters. I've bought loads of
them, enough to make my bookshelves groan and gasp.
Then my alien kitten, Wookie, who
doubles as my muse, writing
partner, inspiration, and general keeper, eyed my collection and muttered 'mrrfft'.
In case you don't speak Feline, 'mrrfft' means 'Just go ahead and write.' It
might also mean 'You wasted money on this when you could be buying me jewelry
or expensive food?'
She has a point. Not about the
jewelry or fancy food, mind you, but about just writing. Writing is an acquired
skill where you learn by doing. That isn't to say that reading a book about any
one of the many craft areas isn't a good thing. It absolutely is. Even better is to pick up a book
by your favorite author, read it for pleasure, and then deconstruct it to learn
how that author created her characters or plot or dialogue, etc.
When I mentioned this to Wookie,
her eyes lit up and her ears tilted forward. She said, 'Chrrppt?' which in
kitten lingo means 'Destruction? I like destruction. I will help.'
Sometimes we have communication
problems.
After I explained the difference
(and watched her go into one of her famous limp-bodied naps), I had to rub her
cheek (never, ever, poke the Feline Queen of the Universe or you will regret
it) to wake her up. Once I had her attention, I admitted it was sort of like
destruction since the best way to do this is to use colored markers to
highlight the areas of the book you're studying, ie red for characterization,
yellow for plot...or whatever colors you want to assign. Marking up the book is
kind of like destroying it so make sure you have one copy to keep all nice and
pristine to read just for the pleasure of reading it.
Now, Wookie looked pretty
impressed for a minute. Then she gave me the stink eye and asked 'brrrppprr?' I
had to consult the Alien Cat dictionary for this one. It means, as close as I
can tell, 'Pretty colors. Now what?'
Well, I explain, what I do is to
take all the lines that I colored for characterization and put them on a
separate piece of paper. Then I try to identify WHY I thought this was such a
great line for characterization. And I'll do the same for plot or action or
dialogue or whatever. Doing this gives me both an insight into what the author
was trying to convey and what I felt the first time I read it. Combining
technique with emotion is a great way to learn. And an even better way to
write.
At this point, Wookie sashayed
around my chair and purred, 'mrrowrr.' I'm
pretty sure she meant 'Good job, grasshopper. Now go write something with ME in
it.'
So I did.
-- Hope you enjoyed the trip down memory lane ;-)
