Just stopping by to introduce myself. I’m this lady: literallylesbian.blogspot.com and this lady: murdockediting.blogspot.com. I’m also in the midst of the godforsaken brainstorming stage of my next manuscript, which is theoretically going to be a lesbian comedy romance. Where is the whiskey?

You’re doing the novel kickstarter! You’re awesome! And next paycheck I’m going to put in enough to get a composite ex in there :D
-
And your tumbler is awesome! And you’re e-friends with Danika of the Lesbrary, who I adore! AND you’re my first autostraddle 1.0 friend! Should I just go ahead and rent the uhaul now?
-
Yes, let’s!…but are you relocating to NYC, or me to Boston? Or should we strike out for Portland, where it rains lesbians and streets are paved with Voodoo Donuts?

Writing whilst the stack of movies I picked out play. Such a wide selection inspires me right now-
Sunshine Cleaning
Superman Returns
Batman
Batman Returns
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
Push
Watchmen
Nick and Norahs Infinite Playlist
Rent
Serenity
Spiderman
Whip It
Episodes of Community and Being Human-
I feel that that list is incomplete without Boondock Saints and Inglorious Basterds!
-
Boondock and Inglorius are for another script, they’re usually paired with Boardwalk Empire and The Road to Perdition. :)

I was just going to suggest Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World and then it jumped out of the list and smacked me in the face, similarly to how it smacked me in the face the first time I watched it. Sososo good.
-
Love Scott Pilgrim! The books are even better imo.

Is this a reply? I’m still getting the hang of this.
Anywho, in response to Kestrel’s question, I’m bad at the whole technical grammer aspect of things and understanding all that (super right brained). I try to just make it flow correctly and make sure the pacing matches the story itself. However before I do anything, rewrites, edits, all that; I…[Read more]

Anyone editing anything? I’m toiling over a hundred-page script of mine (and just volunteered to beta someone else’s fan fiction for the first time), and it’s kind of boggling, how hard it actually is to make honest surgical assessments and repairs of things. Any advice?

I was a creative writing undergrad and one of my tutors kept pushing a certain editing system on us. A revision for each point. They included:
1. Is the overall structure sound? – hook, inciting incident, increasing complexities, crisis, climax –
2. Is the resolution satisfying?
3. Overall time scale
4. Check format and length against target m…[Read more]-
i’m editing a 100+ page novel. it’s a bitch. sometimes you just have to slog through it. i find that taking it in pieces and having a group that i can go to for constructive criticism is great (check your local libraries to see if there’s a writing group/guide/association, etc). also, i told my gram about it, so she’s demanding more. #bestcr…[Read more]

I do a loooot of editing. Somehow I became everyone’s go-to person for that, which is weird because I consider my own grasp on grammar a little shaky. I abuse sentence fragments a lot, anyway.
Editing your own work and editing someone else’s are two different beasts entirely. When editing someone else’s, the best policy is to ask them what…[Read more]

I’ve only had time to write poems recently due to the unbearable heaviness of my course-load. If anyone wants to exchange writing though, I’m down.

I wrote a script last year and have toyed with various other projects since. I don’t know if anything will ever be published/seen, but I do love (and hate) writing. Does that count?

So, is non-fiction cool in this group too? I’m going into journalism and EXPOSING THE TRUTH MAN
Or really just writing about movies and food would be my dream, but I suspect I’ll be unceremoniously crushed under the shoes of those with more experience for years before I get to do this.
