The Main Branch of the Library back home was a huge disability fail. They designed it with very steep steps. And no ramp of any kind originally. So they added a ramp, but it was really long and it was tiring to walk up the ramp and even more tiring to walk up the steps.
Finally a couple of years ago they built an elevator.
And this wasn't a disability issue, but the back of the library opened on to on street parking. BUT there was only a second floor back entrance. So you could find a spot, pay the meter, and still have to walk up stairs to get inside.
The whole thing was really open and echoy and noise traveled. Just badly planned all around. I lived in a nearby town in Georgia and complimented the library and the librarian said they'd gone to my home town and took notes on how not to design a library.
If I'm writing a story where it's about things people do online, how do I keep my people from seeming like talking heads?
Do it in the form of facebook quotes, tumbler posts, pintrest post, emails, the occasional tweet, etc? BTW can you link to the Kos post?
The 21st century version of the epistolatry novel/story.
I will, but I think there was a misunderstanding...someone ran an ADA post in the slot I thought was mine,
My pal Natalie Luhrs has some things to say about book reviews - thought I'd boost the signal: [link] (xposty with lit.)
I'm getting pounded with work which is keeping me from making much progress writing or beta reading currently. OTOH I think I've thought of the first sentence for Cog and the Copper Dragon (I've got the first two chapters written save for the opening since I realized I needed a little scene there). "The banshee wail ripped through Cog's slumber like a hot locomotive through butter."
Being a rough draft, there is little likelihood it will remain the first sentence, but maybe I can get that rough first chapter put away now.
Writing prompt? Social Media commentary? YOU DECIDE: [link]
Hi all. I've got a preview of my witch short story, "Baby Detonate For Me," online right now for a limited time. I think folks around here might enjoy it.
Happy Halloween!
That was a great short, Victor. I liked it a lot!
The site said it was a draft; holler at me if you need a beta or copy editor; I REALLY liked Whitney and this story.
