Nice blog.

Of intrest to science fiction readers , it is about science fiction and writing.

Quote

Notes for a Story Never Written, by Peter Dabbene

Talk about ________
Get into ________
Hint at ________, but don’t get too specific.

Do all these things, and wrap it up
In a distinctive style that’s enjoyable to read
Make it the right length, neither too long nor too
Short

Be profound/Make people think
But be entertaining/Leave them wanting more

Write for your audience/Write for yourself
Mix up the vocabulary/Keep it simple, stupid

Write what you know/But don’t wallow in your past
Free your imagination/But ground it in reality

(Note: Work in sex, friendship, loyalty, work, love,
disappointment, regret, and joy)

Got all that?
Then what are you waiting for?
