While the terms are often conflated, misinformation and disinformation are not equivalent, and efforts both to study and address them should take care of that distinction.
Stories To Tell
To say that we must tell the stories that are unique to us is to crimp ourselves. Don’t set out to tell the story that only you can tell. Set out to tell the story that you want to tell.
Character Thoughts
I have not spent enough time rigorously internalizing how to present character thoughts in different viewpoints.
Manufacturing Commercial Space
So long as government contracts remain the primary revenue source for companies operating in the space industry, commercial space is just a shell.
Individualism, Time Travel, and Shoes
They weren’t remarkable shoes, which is both my point, and my mostly forgotten, pseudo-time-travelling alien debater’s.
Using History
There’s clearly nothing wrong with being inspired by history for your writing – historical fiction is a genre, after all – but Impressions has me pondering how closely a fantasy story can hew to real history without confusing or distracting the reader.
Defining The End
I hear other authors who are true discovery writers talk about their stories taking them by surprise, or their characters wandering off in an unexpected direction, and these things do not happen to me.
Why War
The point is not in the specifics, but in prompting you (and me) to consider these things when we write. I’ve said it many times, and I’ll continue saying it; the most important decisions you make in your story might be the ones that you don’t even realize you’re making.
The Autodidact’s Greatest Gift
I hear people say that the internet is making them less intelligent, and I don’t understand, because the internet is to me a reminder of just how much there is to learn.
Teamwork Sometimes
I don’t deride teamwork to the extent that Rand does, but neither do I hold it up as a veritable moral imperative demanded by a collectivist deity…and given the current context, I consider that we are in far greater danger of too greatly lauding the team than we are of not valuing teamwork sufficiently.
