Darkwriting: Beginning.

Most of us are familiar with terms like plotters and pantsers. A plotter is a writer who writes an outline first, a pantser is one who does not.

Dean Wesley Smith, who has had over 100 books of his published, calls pantsing ‘Writing into the Dark’ in his book of the same name. He says a lot of professional, published writers write this way. He says things like outlining are done in critical voice, while writing must be done in creative voice, with critical voice well out of the way. 

How do you write, as a ‘darkwriter?’ The plotter has the security of a sheaf of outline pages to clutch. What about the other folks?

What you need is some sort of idea. An idea about character, or setting, or situation, an idea about a conflict, a first line or a title to the project. Something like that.

This idea can come before you start to write, or it can pop into your head when you sit in front of a blank screen. 

Once you have an idea, you start typing. Fast, without engaging your inner critic. You need to do this in creative mode. Don’t let your critical voice ruin everything by nagging you about various ‘writing rules,’ things like foreshadowing, conflict, the ‘hook,’ character ‘representation’ (having enough token minority characters.)  Just write!

The down side of writing into the dark is that the first chapter you write won’t be perfect. You are exploring your idea, going where it leads. In chapter three or chapter five or wherever, you may find you need to change a few things. Sometimes this can be done by fixing— changing just the part that needs changing— adding or removing a character, for example. Sometimes you may want to redraft— write the chapter from memory, with the needed thing included.

In my current WIP, I did some redrafting of early chapters, and then I realized where the story was going, and started redrafting the whole thing. I have now redrafted those chapters and can move forward. 

One thing I added was a villain character, instead of having the opposition to the hero-character come from many different persons and forces. This makes the story more focussed. And makes a solution to the problem more realistic. 

Have you tried ‘writing into the dark?’ If you have always obediently outlined, but always bogged down and had real problems finishing the project, perhaps you would do well to try it. Stephen King describes once getting a sheaf of colored paper, and typing a first sentence about a gunslinger and a dark man. I believe the fellow may have done rather well with that project. Without an outline.

Patriotic Characters in Your Fiction.

 

The Christian writer C. S. Lewis said something about patriotism once. Something along the line of it being better than individual selfishness but not as good as loving the whole world.

Of course, he didn’t know about the modern globalist beatniks who love the people of, say, Kenya, while knowing nothing about them, and sheds tears about how they are all starving and living in grass huts. But their next door neighbor who has kids, goes to church, and won’t take an experimental shot that has proved not to work, they just wants to die quick.

I looked up the word ‘patriot’ in a thesaurus recently. It was an old thesaurus from 1961, but the words for ‘patriot’ tended to be words like ‘jingoist,’ never anything positive. 

Every nation has patriots. A nation couldn’t function if it didn’t have some loyal citizens. In any country, Nepal, Taiwan, Germany, Belgium or the USA, people who dislike their country enough to hope that some cooler country will just march in and take over are not the best of citizens. 

Different nations have different issues at the heart of their nation. Right now in the US, patriotic citizens want the borders closed so the immigrants will be legal, and at least checked to see if they are wanted criminals in their own country. This would also make human trafficking and drug smuggling harder to do. 

In many small nations, just speaking their national language is a patriotic issue. In Ireland, for example, the Irish language has died out in most areas. It is being taught in schools, but for now it doesn’t seem like they are going to revive Irish the way the Zionist movement revived Hebrew as a language in daily use.

Small nations have it tough. In Europe, many small nations with their own language teach two foreign languages to all school children. Interestingly, it is in just those small nations that the Esperanto movement is the strongest. They would rather learn one easy language that isn’t theirs to communicate with foreign people than the system we have now.

Other patriotic things are literature— translations of books from English often outsell original books in native languages, perhaps because the authors get globally well known. Songs in English are on the radio. In Germany, when I was there, there were German bands that did translated versions of popular songs, but they weren’t as cool as the original. But there were some people who preferred original German songs.

National dress is another thing. Most people globally wear Western dress. Traditional dress as everyday wear just doesn’t happen any more, now that most clothing is sewn by Third World labor. But in many parts of the world, people who can afford it get Sunday-best versions of national dress for special occasions. 

Patriotic people do different things to show they care about their country. In the USA, we fly American flags a lot. I was surprised when I went to Germany and saw the German flag so rarely. Why, back home I had cut a German flag out of a magazine to paste on the paper cover of my German text book. I am sure many foreign countries have patriotic issues most of us wouldn’t know about.

My current WIP, The Language of Space, features three Hungarian characters, a brother and two sisters, that are patriotic Hungarians. Their problem is that in the near-future world they live in, the Chinese nation dominates the globe, because the dominate space. Educated people in countries like Hungary have to start learning the Chinese language at an early age. The Hungarian university where the brother teaches gives most lectures in Chinese, since Hungarian students often don’t have the vocabulary to understand university level subjects in their native Hungarian. The brother seems to be lecturing in Hungarian only because he is such a patriot, but the reality is that because of a mental block he finds himself unable to learn Chinese. And so his career is threatened because only people who can speak Chinese can go into space to visit the asteroids he lectures about. 

Do you have any patriotic characters in your fiction? Do you depict them in a positive light? How do you see patriotism in fiction?

Why Writers & Bloggers should create Social Media groups.

Yesterday I was time-wasting on Twitter and saw a post by a ‘social media expert’ on how to start a Facebook group to promote your ‘brand.’ She included writers among those ‘businesspeople’ who should use that technique. Not one word was said mentioning that people get banned from Facebook all the time— even Gays against Groomers got permabanned. I’m locked out of my old account for not bowing down to the great god Facebook Protect and handing them my phone number. 

There are groups on some of the alternative social media. The two I know about are MeWe and Gab, and both have groups. 

Groups, said the social media guru, should be about something related to your ‘niche.’ If you are a writer, you could found a group, not for writers, but for book lovers, perhaps book lovers in your genre. (The group will promptly become filled with desperate writers wanting to fill your group with book promos.)

Bloggers should make a group about their blogging niche. If you blog about travel, start a travel blog, if you blog about science fiction, start a science fiction blog. 

The difference between MeWe groups and Gab groups is that when you post to a Gab group, your post automatically goes to your timeline, unless you do some privacy setting thing I don’t know how to do. The advantage of this is that even when you are in a small group, all of your followers see your post from your timeline, and they know what group you posted in. So you can grow the value of your personal Gab account and grow your value as a group member with the same post, without doing anything about it.

MeWe is different. IF you keep your privacy setting to ‘public,’ you can share your posts from the group back to your timeline, but you have to make the effort to do it. If your group post was shared from another source into the group, attempts to share it will only share that original post, without the tag that it came from your group or any comment you wrote about the post. 

Both MeWe and Gab are smaller communities than Facebook or Twitter, but the members are more loyal to one another, at least when there are no big differences of opinion. You may need to work on your main account— post your blog posts, book links and interesting or pithy words of wisdom there, before going off and starting your own group.

Before you start your own group on your alt social medium, join a few groups of interest on various topics. When you find a few you really like, ‘adopt’ a couple groups. Post regularly in those groups. Comment on other people’s posts. Be friendly and encouraging. Pretend like you are assisting the admin/group founder. I had a pair of groups of my own on Facebook for years. I learned a lot about what to do to encourage groups along. It’s hard work. 

Think through what sort of group you want while you are participating in other people’s groups. If there is a group out there that is just right for what you would want to do with a group of your own, and you are allowed to post things that you would like to post there, you may decide to delay starting your own group.

On MeWe, all groups might have group ‘chats.’ I personally don’t like chat, and in an Esperanto-language group I was in on MeWe, a lady in the prostitution industry used the chat to promote her business— in English! You can disable group chat, and when your group has grown enough for you to recruit a few moderators, you can add it back if group members want to. As leader of your group, you should check in on the chat daily— answer some questions as well as check for abuse of the chat by prostitutes.

The purpose behind starting or participating in a social media group is the same behind using social media generally— it is to gather a group of people who like your perspective on things, how you write in short doses, your ‘you’ in general. These people are your prospective tribe members. The ones who actually buy your books or read your blog posts, especially if they do it more than once, are your tribe. Be true to your tribe! Cherish them. Put up with their eccentricities as they put up with yours.

Will the US have a Civil War soon?

 

There is talk in some circles of a US Civil War. The divisions are deep enough— one side thinks they are fighting For-Real Nazis they must cancel, the other thinks the other side is baby-killers and child mutilators and groomers. But there is one problem with a modern Civil War.

At the time of the American Civil War, there was a division between states. Northern States had abolished slavery already, and many people were ardent advocated of abolishing slavery. Many southern people didn’t think slavery was particularly compatible with American freedoms, but they didn’t want slave-owners beggared because of pressure from the North. 

Now, we don’t have state divisions like that. In each state, there are blue districts in big cities and university towns. Government schools with unionized teachers spread blue doctrines to children in all states, and so the blue hordes think the older generation will die out and they will own the nation. The same way they thought, after the Roe v. Wade decision, that in a few years all the prolife people would have died of old age, and no new prolife people would come along. They didn’t plan on the prolife generation.

Rural and smalltown people, and businessmen in all places, have embraced a more practical, conservative and red way of life. You can’t run a cattle farm, for example, if you think two cows or two bulls can produce a calf together. A real businessman doesn’t want to alienate his customers to meet the ever-changing demands of the homosexual pressure groups. 

Our idealogical enemies live among us. Many of us have to shop at ‘woke’ corporations to get what we need. ‘Woke’ people need to buy food grown by ‘Nazi’ farmers who don’t agree with ‘woke’ doctrine, who are too busy farming to spend hours online to figure out what ‘woke’ doctrines are this week.

People have to fight for what they think is right, but not with weapons or cancel culture. We have to live with one another. That means at least trying to talk to one another. Which gets harder by the day, as the propaganda levels rise.

Personal Update:

Life is tough for me— as those who follow me on social media may know, I am on SSI disability due to Asperger Syndrome, and the SSI disability program seems designed to maintain folks in a destitute state.

Worse, my mother passed away earlier in the year, and I relied on her to help me with certain practical things. Without mom, there are practical things just not being dealt with, and I am fearful of admitting my inability lest I lose all control over my life. I need a little help, not a ‘caregiver’ making decisions for me I can’t live with.

I am working on a story called ‘The Language of Space,’ about a Hungarian scientist who wants to go into space in spite of his inability to learn the Chinese language used in space missions. Luckily for him, he has a poet-sister who can help.

I have had a hard time with internet access, among other things, this past year. When I got back, I found that Wordpress had gotten difficult to impossible to use, and it was getting picky about what browser I was allowed to use. My preferred browser is Brave, but I have been willing to use others. But Wordpress wants me to download the newest version of browsers, even though my old computer and my limited internet connection can’t handle that. So I went back to Blogger— also owned by the enemy, but at least I know how to use it.

After Facebook Ends....

 

Facebook, I have read, is in decline. I have been using it since early in my blogging/writing life. I have long-term friends there, I have family members there. The family members were important to me. Because I have Asperger Syndrome, social interaction— even with my own blood family— is not an easy thing. I can’t just pick up the phone and call a cousin, niece or aunt that might be annoyed by my call and long for me to hang up quick. By connecting on Facebook, I could see what they were posting, put positive emojis on it, maybe comment once in a while. And they could comment on what I posted. 

But now Facebook’s newest annoyance, Facebook Protect, seems designed to get rid of unwanted users by demanding either you give up your phone number to them— and I do not trust them with my phone number— or do other things many people won’t be able to do. I once thought if I lost internet access I could go to the local library and check in on my Facebook and other things there. But Facebook is purging people that poor.

I used Twitter when I had my Wordpress blog, because Wordpress can be set up to post to Twitter automatically. Now Wordpress has become less usable to the point I had to leave, I am having to post my blog post links by hand. I do have some friends there, but mainly for me Twitter is a way to drive true fans to my MeWe and Gab pages or my new blog. 

I believe that the ‘Big Boys’ of social media, Facebook and Twitter, are starting to fade. Both revealed themselves as willing to meddle in a US election by banning a sitting president from both sites without reason, both began censoring information about the plandemic they didn’t like and other topics, so that many users were confronted daily with censorship in the form of ‘information’ links added to posts.

I conclude that many of the folks that stay on Facebook and Twitter do it only for their friends there. They resent Facebook and Twitter even as they use them.

We are in an age when writers and bloggers are going to have to be thinking about being on multiple social media. There is a risk here. Just as MySpace went under, alternate social media can go under. Gab was down for a while, Parler was down, though both came back. Others probably have come and gone for good without my notice.

Any new social medium, especially if ‘alternative,’ is a risk— you might be wasting your time. That is why I believe having a blog at the center of your efforts is good. It gives you a chance to post longer things— too long, in my case, I tend to run on. 

MeWe is my primary Facebook replacement and primary social medium. It’s a little dull, since it seems to be set up with the idea that everyone wants their posts very private. Since new MeWe users often don’t have many friends, their posts, when their privacy settings are ‘friends only,’ reach next to no one. I do #MeWeMondays — I am sure to post there on Mondays, yesterday I used that hashtag on Twitter as well as MeWe, and in general I try to put in a good effort. 

Gab is the social medium I use on #GabTuesdays . It is a bit more like Twitter in that there are all sorts there, and some users are argumentative and swear too much at other people. I soon learned to use the ‘block’ button a lot on the worst offenders. If you are a mild soul upset by confrontational attitudes, you might feel cautious about Gab. Don’t worry, I won’t dislike you if you don’t use Gab— we can always meet up on MeWe.

Truth Social is a new social medium I haven’t tried yet. I did sign up for it over the weekend, but the confirmation email never arrived. Friends I have asked said that it was mainly the same stuff you see on Gab. My main reason for joining was that a friend I liked on Facebook said she was joining Truth Social once it got launched, and I miss her. 

I was on Parler, didn’t like it much, and then it went down. If I encounter some friends who really like Parler, I may rejoin. 

In each case, the key to using any social medium is to set up your account properly— use a good profile pic, it doesn’t have to be a current picture of YOU, some people use their cat’s picture, a flag, or other image. Maybe use the same profile pic on all your social media accounts.

You also need friends/contacts. More important for the alt social media, you need people who are active there NOW. On MeWe and Gab I recommend joining groups of interest and see who is posting, post comments yourself, and friend the people you interact with. 

Make sure your account is one worth following. If you post JUST your blog post links or JUST book promos, you are dull. Share other people’s memes and posts, but also post things of your own. I’ve had some success with cat pictures, though one sourpuss on Gab criticized me for taking a picture of cute cats on a dirty kitchen floor. He can just come to my house and wash the floor himself, and then train my cats to like clean floors better than dirty ones!

The world we live in today, many people are reluctant readers. They CAN read, but many of them would rather watch a dozen YouTube videos than read one blog post or one chapter of your novel. Social media is a way to locate readers, and to coax the more reluctant readers to give you a try.

Linguistic Justice and Injustice.

 Linguistic Justice and Injustice. Sounds like something some clueless SJW would be going on about. I suppose some who use the term ‘linguistic justice’ use the term in that way.

In my mind, though, I think of the NATURAL linguistic injustice people experience. Think— a person born in the United States or England, speaking English as a native language, currently does not need to master any other language to get an education or a job, or to interact with folks around the world. People around the world who don’t learn English as a mother tongue have to learn English in school, and their English classes are far more serious than our foreign language classes are. We can travel the world and everywhere find people who know enough English to talk to.

But think of people born in Finland. Finland is a complicated language, and unrelated to most European languages. So it is harder for a native Finn to learn more useful language because of that lack of relationship, and Finns are not surrounded by foreigners who learn Finnish at school.

Because Finland is a literate nation, there are universities where Finns can learn in Finnish, and I suppose there is a medical journal and a scientific journal or two in Finnish, though probably both are filled with articles translated from other languages. An educated Finn probably has to master a foreign language or two to be counted educated. Likely a Finnish university professor would subscribe to scholarly journals in English in his field, or in some other more widespread language.

But what about some person whose native language is NOT the official language of the country, and in a country less literate? Perhaps an African tribal person, speaking a language that doesn’t go beyond the tribal territories and hasn’t been a written language for long, in which perhaps the only book was once the Bible.

Such a person, speaking the tribal language, probably can get basic literacy in his language at school. But soon, one will start learning the national language— English, in some African countries. Even to stay in school through eighth grade, one probably has to get used to being taught in the national language.

A tribal language speaker, if educated, probably begins to adopt the national language as his own. The national language is where the books are, after all. If his own tribal language is large, maybe there are a few books printed in it each year, and perhaps a magazine. But if the language is small, there may be little to nothing— and what IS printed may be things like devotional booklets and hymn books, not a comprehensive choice of reading material. The tribal language speaker may teach his children the national language first, which might make the tribal language a boring chore to the children.

There may be laws to try to bring justice. A nation like Finland may subsidize books and periodicals in Finnish, and perhaps tax imported books in other languages. An African nation with tribal groups might pass a law saying that every child has a right to basic instruction in the tribal language— might even pay for the printing of reading books in the tribal languages. Such efforts, even if fully funded, don’t change things. It is still more practical for a person with a non-global language to master a global language. 

The ‘practical’ global language can vary from country to country, and change over historical periods. At one time, many nations near China found it very practical for their noble caste to master Chinese. Once French, as the language of diplomacy, was widely learned. English was only later recognized as a useful world language.

After World War I, people gave some thought to more idealistic solutions. Perhaps a simple-to-learn invented language could be adopted by the world as a second language. It would be neutral, see? No more having to learn the language of your nation’s enemy because that nation had better armies.

There were already such invented languages available. Solresol and Volapük had gotten some press coverage, and Volapük societies had been founded to promote that language, to the extent it was said that the international language problem was solved. When Esperanto came along in 1887, using many international word roots to the point that many speakers of Latin-based languages could read Esperanto texts at first sight, many Volapük groups adopted Esperanto as their new international language.

One thing many Esperantists (Esperanto speakers) bickered about was possible changes and improvements to Esperanto. A Frenchman decided to reform Esperanto by removing all the ‘ugly’ words of German or Slavic origin and replacing them with something more French. He called his ‘improved’ Esperanto ‘Ido,’ in token that it was a child of Esperanto. Ido is still spoken by a few people today, and propagates by sending leaflets to members of Esperanto societies. (I can actually read Ido, just from knowing Esperanto.)

How does a strange invented international language lead to linguistic justice? It does even now, but mostly for middle-class people who adopt Esperanto as a kind of eccentric hobby, correspond with other Esperantists, go to Esperanto conventions, and such. They have an international connection normally only wealthy people with expensive schooling or expensive translators have.

Esperanto is good technology, for all it was invented by an eccentric Polish-Jewish oculist. I have read of a study that shows that Esperanto can be learned in 1/10 the time it takes to learn a ‘natural’ language like English or Spanish. I learned it in about four months, well enough to read some books in Esperanto from a library. Now, I was a language geek, I knew English and was studying German seriously, and I had picked up a lot of Spanish, so that was an advantage for me. 

I had read of another study, in which two classes of school children were compared. One group had four years of French instruction. The other had one year of Esperanto instruction, followed by three years of French instruction. Both groups did equally well at French at the end of the study. Among other things, that shows a bit of Esperanto instruction can be inserted into language instruction programs without causing the students to get behind in their more important languages.

Here is the thing: if, at any time, some nation began to promote the use of Esperanto, that would at least lead to more linguistic justice. If Finland, for example, added Esperanto as a first foreign language, and perhaps subsidized an Esperanto magazine and perhaps a scientific journal in Esperanto, with perhaps summaries of each journal article in Finnish, Finns would have the advantage of a simple, easily learned second language. Given the Esperanto community, Finland would become a destination for Esperanto tourism and Esperanto conventions. If Finland kept up its Esperanto support for years, Esperanto tourism to Finland would become a regular thing. Other countries might find it practical to follow suit. As a result, Finnish people, just from knowing Esperanto along with their Finnish, would be a little more like people from England or the US. They would still be at somewhat of a linguistic disadvantage, but it would be lessened.

Why didn’t Esperanto catch on then, in its heyday? You must remember, big nations with widely-learned languages had an economic advantage. When French was the international language of diplomacy, native French speakers with any degree of education could go abroad to become French teachers, tutors or governesses. French books would be sold widely outside France. And France had greater prestige. 

The same happens now with English. English speakers whose educational deficiencies appall me can still get jobs abroad teaching English. English language movies are shown around the world, often undubbed. But when was the last time you went to see a Hungarian movie, or Nepalese movie? Airline pilots around the globe have to know English. Globally a lot of people angrily resent Americans or Englishmen, but they learn our language anyway, in spite of its difficulties. 

I believe English speakers as a group will never, while English is dominant, embr
ace a need to learn Esperanto or any other language. At best, we might adopt a year of Esperanto instruction in schools for children to help them improve their ability to learn other things, and likely only after some small nations have adopted such a program.  But Esperanto can’t be put back into the box. There are books printed every year in Esperanto, radio broadcasts, many turned now into podcasts, in Esperanto, internet groups in Esperanto. Esperanto music groups recording Esperanto pop music, and many other things. It will be there when people start feeling a need to use it.
