[ISBW] Delicious Conflict Parfait

Conflict shows us how people relate to each other, much better than a good day will. Conflicts include everything from an injury, to lack of sleep, to fights with significant others, to rude folks on the road, and then the big one with the meteor coming to destroy the Earth. The worse the day is, the more we learn about the character and what matters to them.

Welcome to I Should Be Writing. This is the podcast for wannabe fiction writers. I’m your host, Mur Lafferty. And I am streaming live on Twitch right now and this will go into the RSS feed soon. Hello Katwood and Underpope. Good to see people. Hey Sarcasmatron5000. Welcome. So it’s been a bad brain day. Been a little tough to get focused. And there’s nothing wrong. It’s not like anything bad has happened or I’m worried about anything, it’s just when you change your work habits, it takes a little while to get used to it. And I’ve been both productive and exercising for a couple of days and today my body and brain are just like, no, I don’t think so. So, I did not a lot of stuff this morning and of course, about an hour before I streamed it was time to get down and start writing. So that’s when I got writing done which is why I’m running late because I wanted to finish the scene which I didn’t do. But I liked the direction I was taking the scene, and it gave me the idea for the show so win-win. Hey Billyboy. Work proceeds on the book. It’s going steady. I’m pretty happy with it. A little scared about shifting some parts of the book around.

After 20 years I’ve finally figured out how to find that elusive time to write. And the reason I never found it before was because finding time, or making time, is more challenging than people say it is. Sure, OK, “make time” — but HOW?

There is a lot of contradictory advice on the internet. Even the same articles/lists will have contradictory advice. And when are looking for specific advice, the pithy “Do this, no, wait, don’t do this” blog posts are infuriating. So how do you know who to trust when it comes to looking for advice?

Hi there. Welcome to I Should Be Writing, the podcast for wannabe fiction writers. I am Mur Lafferty. And if you’re new to me, I am a podcaster, a science fiction writer, and editor. And author. Well I said that. Wow, getting off to a great start today. I’m suffering right now from what I’m realizing is a stress hangover. And I don’t know if… I’m sure psychologists have a better return for it, but I don’t know what that is. So, I had a very stressful day yesterday. I had to take my dog to the vet. He was sick. And so the first part of the day was worrying about him and then two hours at the vet. And then the last day was just trying to get him home and comfortable and recover from all the stress. This morning I was not with it. And I took my ADD meds and I still managed to try to find something to listen to while I wrote, find an interesting bug that changed iTunes or it’s called music now. They’re changing the album art with the wrong album, and it’s like all mixed up. And so if you’ve been building your music library for years and years and years, then it’s just complete chaos.  (more…)
