Today's story relies heavily on its twist/reveal. I have made as much effort as possible to not spoil said reveal, but this is a difficult story to critique while avoiding spoilers.

Writing Dialogue: Lies and Liars · 9:38pm Jul 8th, 2016

I have often been told that dialogue is one of my strongest areas as a writer. I find this compliment a bit unusual, because dialogue is often one of the areas that I spend the least time on. My dialogue technique involves a lot of instinct and guess work (I suppose a lot of my writing does). There is one area, however, where I did have to learn and research, because I am quite bad at it in real life.

Lying.

CCC: cleverpun's Critique Corner Not-Fanfiction Edition — Magic: The Gathering's Unbowed, Part 1 · 5:38am Aug 30th, 2018

Yes, you read that right. Today I'm taking a break from talking about fanfiction and magic equines. Today, I'm talking about corporate fiction and magic humans! I know it will be a transition for all of us, but there's more equivalency in writing quality than you might expect.

Today I'm talking about Unbowed, Part 1.

cleverpun’s Idea Graveyard: Sorrow No More · 2:23am Jan 2nd, 2017

Another new year is here. That means lots of new beginnings, looking forward, etc. All those platitudes and cliches we've come to know and possibly tolerate. But just as important as looking to the future, perhaps even more important, is examining the past. Learning from our mistakes and critiquing our own work is crucial if we want to grow as writers (and as people).
