Editing is going as torturously as usual but another blinding realisation came today courtesy of Intuitive Editing by Tiffany Yates Martin

My main character has a lovely arc. She came to the challenge point, and passed the test, but didn't have a true moment of clarity about *why* it mattered and *what* she had learned. *I* knew her journey, but I didn't effectively communicate it to the reader.

I'm only at the early stages of Intuitive Editing (macro editing, character) in which Martin discusses how no-one is interested in a story where the main character waits for the world to happen around them. As I read that, my MFC moment of choice crystallised in my mind. So tomorrow's editing will be around a single scene, adding (I think) two paragraphs, and it will be huge.

People, be open to all advice, including the ones you've heard before. Even if the advice isn't directly applicable as it's given, it will get your inner editor working on the big stuff.

The WIP project - agency

Hello writerly friends!

I must admit, things are not going so well with my goal of 40k in 50 days. So not well, actually, that I already adjusted the goal to 20k in 50 days. Because that's what you have to do when things get off track. It's no use to try to force a system to work if reality is working against you. 

This is me taking control of my plot. I have agency in my life, I decide how I manage my life and how I write and how I set my goals.

Speaking of agency (behold the segue (it's not segway? I could have sworn...)), I came across a post by Tiffany Yates Martin on Jane Friedman's blog about character agency. https://janefriedman.com/who-makes-it-happen-giving-your-characters-agency/

Maybe it's just me, but one problem I often have is that my characters just sort of run along with the plot, getting thrown here and there. The story happens to them, instead of them happening to the story.

According to Martin's post, these are some common traps that make characters too passive:

The witness: The protagonist is present for the action of the story, but primarily as an observer or reporter, rather than a key driver of the plot. The bystander: The plot happens adjacent to the main character; he’s “in the room where it happens,” but not intrinsic to making it happen. The recipient: Another character in the story effects the action and drives the plot, handing the spoils—essential information, progress toward a goal, etc.—to the ostensible protagonist, who didn’t directly do anything to achieve them. The victim: The character is woefully put-upon in her journey toward self-actualization, but we never see her taking the reins to act for her own salvation; she just weathers the storm.

Oh yeah, that sounds familiar. I have one story where the main character starts out very much as the bystander. It's part of her growth process to change that, but I should probably hurry that along before my readers get bored with her. 

Look at your characters, are they active? Do they drive the plot? Does the plot develop with their decisions?

As with all advice, this is not an all-or-nothing situation. I think a character can also be passive for a while, depending on their situation, but if they never make decisions, the story might get boring to read.

How do your characters fare? Are they active or more passive?

The Über Skill for Writers - by Tiffany Yates Martin…

on Jane Friedman site: One of the most important abilities a writer can hone doesn’t involve writing—at least not their own. Learning to objectively assess other people’s stories, and pinpoint what makes them effective or not, will do more for your own writing craft than even psychologist K. Anders Ericsson’s much vaunted (and misinterpreted) 10,000 hours of practice popularized by Malcolm…

 Dustin Walters, 32

Dustin Paul Walters, age 32, of North Wilkesboro, passed away Thursday, February 27, 2020. He was born January 5, 1988 in Wilkes County to Daniel Keith Walters, Sr. and Amy Vandervort Walters. Dustin was preceded in death by his parents; and grandmother, Judith Elaine Vandervort. Dustin loved fishing, listening to music, loved animals and nature whether hiking, camping or taking the dogs for a walk.

Nothing is going to stop the pain this senseless tragedy has caused. However, to know Dustin Paul Walters meant you were blessed and your life would never be the same. Ask almost anyone and the answer is Dustin was the most selfless, loving, loyal, honest, caring and beautiful soul anyone had met. No one can quite believe or understand "Why Him"? Dustin might not have seen the amazing legacy he was leaving behind but he definitely left a light to guide us through the dark. The family and friends he left behind in the world is definitely better off having had him in it, no matter how short it seemed.

Dustin judged no one, cared strongly, loved deeply and always gave it his all no matter who or what it was, even if he was, occasionally late. Dustin and his wife of almost 13 years were madly, deeply devoted to each other, and anyone who knew one knew the other. The other would feel the connection and knew they were lucky to have that so young. Dustin had lots of love to give and tried to share it as much as possible. Dustin and Megan used to tell each other that "They've had a heck of a Run." Hopefully this shocking and heart breaking loss will help you remember the bad, better, good and great times that we all had with this kind hearted, passionate and dedicated man who has pushed all of us to be a better person in some shape or form. Dustin fancied himself a "Junk" man from birth but that just meant he could see the value in anyone or anything.

Dustin and his family wish for you to cherish every second and always try. Dustin always managed to show love, respect and decency; even in times most wouldn't. Make sure to keep Dustin's legacy with you and alive honoring his life in your own special way. Instead of flowers the family and Dustin hopes you would do an unexpected and unsolicited act of kindness in his name.

Surviving are his wife, Megan Jean' Marie Aghabalian Dula Walters; brothers, Daniel Keith Walters, Jr. and spouse Lenia of Charlotte, Charlie Gladwell of Roaring River; grandparents, Hughes and Gretchen Vandervort of Hays; nephews, Ronald Walters, Nathan Walters, Damien Gladwell; nieces, Olivia Walters and Alena Carswell; step-mother, Kristi Walters of Roaring River; mother and father-in-law, Karen and Kenny Shumate of North Wilkesboro; grandparents -in-law, Reid and Steva Shumate of North Wilkesboro; grandfather-in-law, James "Cliff" Dula of Morganton; father-in-law, Ricky Dula of Morganton; sister-in-law, Juliet Bowling of Morganton; brother-in-law, Nicky Jon Dula of Morganton; dogs: Baxter, Willie and Sassy; cats: Boo Kitty and Peanut; hermit crabs: Biggie Smalls and Hermie; best friend, Delmer Stanley III of Jonesville; aunt, Janice Vandervort of Delray Beach, Florida; Uncles, John Vandervort of Wilkesboro, George Phillips of Daytona Beach, Florida, Gary Aghabalian of Palm Springs; many other cousins and family members.

Memorial service was March 7,   at Miller Funeral Chapel with the family and friends providing the eulogy.   In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Humane Society of Wilkes, PO Box 306, North Wilkesboro, NC 28659. Miller Funeral Service is in charge of the arrangements.

The Flashback: A Greatly Misunderstood Storytelling Device - by Tiffany Yates Martin…

on Jane Friedman site: They’re the bogeymen of publishing. Along with prologues, adverbs, and semicolons, flashbacks may be the most vilified—and most misunderstood—of storytelling devices, ones that work only if they don’t seem like devices. Yet flashbacks are inherently artificial. Even when we are revisiting memories in life, we rarely replay an entire scene from start to finish,…

2020 New York International Antiquarian Book Fair

RARE & VALUABLE BOOKS, MANUSCRIPTS, AUTOGRAPHS, GRAPHICS, PHOTOGRAPHS, PRINT EPHEMERA & MUCH MORE

From March 5-8, 2020, Walter Reuben Inc. can be found in Booth D20 at the 60th Anniversary New York International Antiquarian Book Fair located, as always, in the  legendary Park Avenue Armory, Manhattan at 643 Park Avenue (between 66th and 67th Street).

Our focus is on the glorious history of the European and Hollywood motion picture business as well as African American cultural history, black memorabilia and LGBTQ social history. As a result, we will be featuring the finest selection of vintage original movie posters, movie star photos, lobby cards, movie scripts & rare books, Hollywood movie memorabilia, African Americana and LGBTQ cultural history.

Here is a sampling of the areas that Walter Reuben represents:

LGBTQ CULTURAL HISTORY

Since the Stonewall Riot in June of 1969, there has been a growing interest in LGBTQ social history, so, in 2011 – forty-two years after Stonewall –  Walter Reuben Inc. made its first sale to a major institutional library of relevant items of LGBTQ cultural history. The sales continued to be made to an ever growing number of institutions and now Walter Reuben Inc. is an essential resource for material related to LGBTQ Cultural History and Memorabilia.

Vintage original photograph of Freddy Mercury in the Queen Photo Collection and a remarkable vintage original silkscreen poster for rock’s first openly transgender singer, Jayne Rogers, better known by her stage name Jayne County. She was an American singer, songwriter, actress and record producer whose career has spanned five decades. Under the name Wayne County, she was the vocalist of influential proto-punk band Wayne County & the Electric Chairs.

AFRICAN AMERICANA

Walter Film.com offers a range of vintage African-American Collectibles or Black Memorabilia that celebrate the achievements of actors, artists, musicians, athletes, politicians, and other members of the black community. Vintage African Americana (vintage original star photographs, posters, lobby cards, film scripts, newspaper articles, rare books and advertising or marketing collectibles) identified with all types of black celebrities is highly valued by collectors.

Vintage original poster for a one-woman show that  Ethel Waters premiered on Broadway on Sept. 22, 1953. She subsequently toured the show, hence this poster from a one night appearance in Asbury Park, New Jersey.

The vintage original poster for the play, “Porgy,” by Dorothy and Dubois Heyward, presented by the Theatre Guild in 1927. It was the source for the world famous opera “Porgy & Bess,” music and lyrics by George and Ira Gershwin and book by Dubois Heyward.

FILM POSTERS

One of the finest vintage original poster by the legendary artist Al Hirschfeld for “Swiss Miss“ starring  Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, This 1938 MGM “musical superfeature” combined operetta and comedy to tell the story of two mousetrap salesmen who hoped to strike it rich in Switzerland.

A vintage original three-sheet poster for the 1968 Warner Brothers’ classic action-crime thriller, “Bullitt,” directed by Peter Yates with an iconic performance by Steve McQueen. It is the finest and rarest of the posters created for this critically acclaimed, box office hit.

FILM SCRIPTS

A heavily revised final shooting script of  Columbia Pictures’ 1992 film, “A League Of Their Own,” directed by Penny Marshall. This vintage original screenplay also travels with a black leather-covered baseball, signed in gold ink by Tom Hanks, Madonna (above), Gena Davis, Penny Marshall, Rosie O’Donnell, Robin Knight, Tracy Reiner, Janet Jones Gretzky, Pepper Pairie (one of the original league players) and Neezer Tarleton.

Peter Lawford’s revised shooting script for Warner Brothers’ 2001 critical and box office hit, “Ocean’s Eleven.” The film starred almost the entire Rat Pack, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Lawford (who bought the rights to the story in 1958, and was involved in putting the film together).

THE PARK AVENUE ARMORY

ARMORY HISTORY

The Armory, completed in 1881, was built by New York State’s prestigious Seventh Regiment of the National Guard, the first volunteer militia to respond to President Lincoln’s call for troops in 1861.

Members of what was known as the “Silk Stocking” Regiment included New York’s most prominent Gilded Age Families including the Vanderbilts, Van Rensselaers, Roosevelts, Stewarts, Livingstons and Harrimans.

Built as both a military facility and a social club, the Park Avenue Armory has been hailed as containing “the single most important collection of nineteenth century interiors to survive intact in one building” by the New York City.

The 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall, with an 80-foot-high barrel vaulted roof, is one of the largest unobstructed spaces in New York City. The Armory’s magnificent reception rooms were designed by leaders of the American Aesthetic Movement, among them Louis Comfort Tiffany, Stanford White, Candace Wheeler, and Herter Brothers.

Part American palace, part industrial shed, Park Avenue Armory is dedicated to supporting unconventional works in the visual and performing arts that need non-traditional spaces for their full realization, enabling artists to create, students to experience, and audiences to consume epic and adventurous presentations that cannot be mounted elsewhere in New York City.

Since 2007, the Armory has opened its doors to visionary artists, directors, and impresarios who provided extraordinary experiences in a range of art forms. Such was its impact that in December 2011, The New York Times noted, “Park Avenue Armory…has arrived as the most important new cultural institution in New York City.” From: http://www.armoryonpark.org/about_us/history
