Gentlefolk and scoundrels, the question before us today is, “How do I get started writing science fiction and fantasy?” Happy writing! Author Miyuki Jane Pinckard Posted on SeptemNovemCategories News Our Latest Newsletter Tackles Writing Dialogue that Sounds Realistic If you’re also attending FIYAHCON, see you there! Otherwise, I’ll be back next week. So…if you’re interested in staying in touch about a future class on this, make sure you sign up for the newsletter, because we’ll be announcing new workshops and courses there.

I’d like it to be a nondigital game because a) it’s more accessible if programming skills are not required and b) there are lots of fundamental design principles that are EASIER to learn when you aren’t also trying to get the code to work. So I’m toying with the idea of teaching a Game Design Lab where the goal would be to learn some stuff and then team up to collaborate on a game. There are lots of writers who want to learn more about game design, I bet, either so you can be more effective at writing for games, or because you want to design games, or maybe you’re just curious. Well, things have been busy here at Story Kitchen! Maureen is teaching at USC this semester and knee deep in a new crop of students, and we’ve also both been experimenting with video as a format for some of the discussions we want to have.īUT! I came here to talk about something else entirely, and that is this: Tomorrow I’m teaching a very condensed Game Design Workshop as part of FIYAHCON 2021 and as I prepared the slides and the activities, I realized how much I miss teaching game design, too! I hope you are all well and thriving, and happy writing!Īuthor Miyuki Jane Pinckard Posted on NovemNovemCategories News FIYAHCON 2021 Tomorrow! And Who’s Interested in a Game Design Workshop?
#Smitha pallaki horizons update#
It’s called “Boundless” and I’ll update when I know what month it’ll be out. Well, about six month ago, I pulled it out again and I tried something else to deliver the ending that I knew I wanted–and it worked! Uncanny liked it! I’m so chuffed.
#Smitha pallaki horizons how to#
A few different writing groups gave me feedback on it over the years, and I also put it away for a while because I didn’t know how to fix it. Maybe longer? Then I completely rewrote it a couple of times. I first drafted it, I think, about three years ago. Have you caught up on the Story Kitchen podcast episodes? There are nine episodes of deep dives into questions like “What is Technique, Anyway?” and other concerns that nerdy writers like Maureen and me ponder incessantly.Īnd, I sold a story to Uncanny Magazine for publication in 2022! It’s a story that went through a lot of revisions. I think I’ll write more about that in the future because it was such an interesting experience for me. It was a real challenge to narrate it, actually, and switch fluidly between English and Japanese. It’s a quirky, sweet story about what home means, about freedom, about being yourself. I also narrated a short story for the first time, for Podcastle: Hummingbird, by Eisuke Aikawa, translated by Toshiya Kamei. Please check it out if you enjoy videos like this! And since I’ve been working a lot on my short story submissions, I decided to produce a video about that as well: SFF Story Submission Secrets. I also converted the post about starting out writing SFF into two videos, Absolute Beginner’s Guide to Writing SFF Part 1 and Part 2. This week, I’ll be talking about Worldbuilding with Fashion and Clothing! But! once she’s done teaching, we have a bunch of new things we want to try here!įirst, I wanted to let you all know that we have started experimenting with video! We have a Youtube channel for Story Kitchen Studio where I’ve been posting once a week, on Thursdays.
Hello writers, I hope November is treating you well so far! Are any of you participating in Nanowrimo? I am, although as usual I’m tweaking it to meet my own ends (finishing a work in progress rather than starting a new one from scratch) but Maureen is wrapping up the final semester of class, which doesn’t leave enough time for Nano.
