March 14. When writing dialogue do I include everything from “hello” to “goodbye” or stick to what’s essential?

One for the writers here … I certainly don’t *not* put the niceties of conversation in; sometimes it’s the mundanity of communication that tells more of the story. How a character greets someone can give an instant insight to their relationship.

Here’s a couple of examples from ‘This Is Not The End’, which is due out really quite soon now…

"All right?" said Robert, as Wilf bustled through the door of the seminar room, cheeks burning against the bitter north-easterly breeze whilst his scarf protected his lips from the worst of the Arctic air blast. "Aye"" came the muffled reply. "You?" "Not bad. How was your Christmas?" "Not bad. It was good to catch up with people." "Family?" "Aye, of course. And from school. Hadn't seen most of them for six months. Probably the longest time we'd not seen each other in the last six years." "That's a third of your life!" "Mad, isn't it." "And is the band going to be getting back together?" chuckled Robert.
Wilf found the seminar room tucked away on the third floor of the five story block that housed his faculty. A half dozen of his fellow students were already present. He couldn't remember any names, and certainly hadn't been involved in any conversations with any of them either. He skirted round the back of the room and took a seat by the window, next to a radiator that was as cold as his demeanour towards the others, a mood borne much more from insecurity than any dislike. A girl sitting two rows in front turned round and smiled at him. "Hello," she said in a gentle accent that Wilf placed somewhere in Scotland. "History of language?" Wilf nodded. "Aye." He paused, a thaw quickly ensuing, and then added with a nervous chuckle, "I'm in the right place then?" "Let's hope so," she replied. "I'm Cheryl, by the way." Wilf shrugged his shoulders out of his coat, and pulled his bag round on the top of the desk. "Hi Cheryl. I'm Wilf." "There's so many people to get to know," Cheryl continued as Wilf rummaged around in his bag before pulling out his pad and pencil case. "Aye, I know. It's a bit scary, really. Everyone seems so confident." He scanned the room: a mature student decked in a Coventry City football shirt was instantly recognisable from the lecture halls in which he had consistently worn variations on the theme, whilst a younger man in sore need of a shave and a haircut chatted to a girl in a donkey jacket and a nose piercing and her - assumed - boyfriend decked in leathers
With nobody around when Wilf went into the callbox, he was spared the fraudulent guilt manifested by the ritual this time. "Hi Mam," he said when the call from home to the box was connected. "Hi Wilf, love. How're you doing?" The script rarely varied. Was he eating well? How was the course? Was he keeping on track with his work? Was he sure he was eating well? How was Dominic? Would he like a word with Dad? For his part, Wilf was keen to know what he was missing at home (generally nothing remotely approaching excitement) and what Elsie was up to. It was easier to ask, he said, than to ring her himself, because it would mean an evening phone call. He didn't especially relish the prospect of spending half an hour on the street corner, and the prospect became even less appealing when Robert told him the summer riots had started on the next street down to Kirkaldy Road. This time, the rehearsed exchange veered. "I was wondering about coming home," said Wilf after the formalities had concluded Mam sounded panicked. "What? Already? You've got to give the course more of a go than that, love." "No, Mam, not for good. Just for a weekend, maybe? In a couple of weeks, when it's Els's half term, I'd thought?"

#ScribesAndMakers Mar 14: Dialogue, everything from hello to goodbye or stick to essentials?

It depends on the scene, the characters, the "vibe," etc. Generally, though, I do like to include all the awkwardness and pauses and staring out the window. I like to hear the sound of cutlery clinking on plates, wind whipping rain against the window, people clearing their throats. That's all part of the scene.

#PennedPossibilities 613 — How do you feel about the world or universe you’ve created within your WIP? Are you satisfied with it thus far?

I don't know if I'll ever be "satisfied." Once it stops developing, in my mind, then it'll be dead. The thing I love is that I'm building an ideal little anarcho-syndicalist network that essentially acts independent of government: housing people, maintaining communities, and producing goods for the whole of society.

new themes

I’m not currently writing, but, instead—gasp!—editing, the stage when I find any themes & deepen them, this is when the true magic happens.

One thread in Book3, Exhuming Truths (a prequel), follows Maniff & how he isn’t dealing with grief & guilt. It’s also about the power of love.

The other thread follows Glistenelle. It’s also about the power of love, but also how true love makes you stronger & builds your self-esteem.

#WordWeavers 3/14. Antagonist POV: Do you want to be perceived as “good?”

Aleister McCraw: "I am the Alpha. You can see that I'm good because my pack is thriving. We have a village of our own, we have plenty of income, our females are fertile.

"Yes, sometimes I have to bring people back in line and punish them, but that's to be expected. Not everyone knows what's good for them. Especially that Helen*."

#PennedPossibilities 613 — How do you feel about the world or universe you’ve created within your WIP? Are you satisfied with it thus far?

I tend to discover the world my stories take place in while I write them. They grow in scope with my characters' progress.

I love the world of the Wolves.

I'm scared of the world of the Winds & Pillars - although it's fascinating and I can see it bend towards good.

The world of Penumbra scares me. It keeps shifting as politics shift.

Hello from Dublin!

Yesterday we went to Marsh’s Library, a reference library with some of the oldest printed books in the world! We couldn’t touch the books, but photos were allowed.

This library was also caught in the crosshairs of the rebellion in 1916, so some of the books have bullet holes in them (none shown).

Such a cool place! 😍

Other things we did:
-Dublin Castle
-St. Patrick’s Cathedral
-Various gardens
-Tasty food

A darker photo of bookshelves. Tall wooden bookshelves are on both sides of the photo, with a shaded window at the far end (center). The overall tone of the photo is dark and moody.
A photo showing one of the wings of the library. Ropes are along each alcove of the bookshelves, keeping visitors away from the books themselves. The shelves are made from oak, while the books are a cloth style “paper” with covers of leather if vellum. The light here is better, giving an older, mysterious atmosphere to the place.
The exterior/entrance of the library. The door is open, and a black wrought-iron gate across the doorway is also open. The brick building is buttressed with greenery. The red sign to the right of the door reads: “Gutenberg’s Cradle: An Exhibition of the Oldest Books in the World”.
