Your Accomplice in Writing Creative Fiction. Guest Post: Tension Tells The Tale. October 22, 2014. January 19, 2016. If you want to write a good story (or read a good story), there always has to be tension. Specifically, there needs to be tension between the main characters, not just tension in the plot. This frisson can morph, grow or shrink, but it remains until the end of the story. Without tension, of course, there is no story. Continue reading Guest Post: Tension Tells The Tale.

Your Accomplice in Writing Creative Fiction. August 2, 2013. January 19, 2016. The relationships between the characters can be worth more than the characters themselves. Lifelong friendships, sibling rivalry, a nemesis – a speck on the palette of what can be done. Love itself is a part of fictional worlds much as it is our own, and there are many kinds of it.

Your Accomplice in Writing Creative Fiction. March 12, 2015. January 19, 2016. So time to talk about For More Than Earthly Ends, that thing I should be working on more but have had trouble fitting in after moving house, jobs, offices, gaining a baby, having a regular game journalist gig, and well, all those other bits of life. I have been floundering on the rewrite since about December, and a lot of the reasons listed above are big reasons. Continue reading Revisiting Your World. June 4, 2014. May 5, 2014.

Your Accomplice in Writing Creative Fiction. January 20, 2016. It’s not easy to find that sweet spot that provides exactly the right amount of information. The line between spoon-feeding information and being clear is a troublesome one, especially when you want to maintain some air of mystery about what you’re writing. Nobody wants their story to be predictable, though it should without equivocation be justifiable. Continue reading The Balancing Act. January 18, 2016. January 19, 2016. December 17, 2015.

Your Accomplice in Writing Creative Fiction. A something for when I attempt a dev something. A Distraction in Twine. August 15, 2016. August 15, 2016. I’ve been dabbling a little with a thing called Twine. Over the past few days, which is a cool way to make a game that’s a little more accessible than putting together a graphical game would be. I’m only starting with it, but already finding ways to do things that take me back to the game programming of my younger years. Posted in Dev Diary. June 18, 2015.

Your Accomplice in Writing Creative Fiction. Writing Musts: Use Your Characters Again. May 28, 2015. January 19, 2016. I don’t do this very often. Yes, blog (shush), but also follow up a previous must. In Use Your Characters. I extolled the virtues of being lazy, and by being lazy I mean using the characters you’ve already built up in ways that makes sense for them characters, instead of trying to force a new path through your story. That’s still true, but there’s more. For More Than Earthly Ends. Contin...
