Alvaro Zinos-Amaro: #9 out of 40 — The Game is Afoot, the Games Are a Feat

We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality. - Iris Murdoch // The interplay of thought and imagination is far superior to that of muscle and sinew. - Isaac Asimov // The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience. - Emily Dickinson // A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. - Lao Tzu // Do whatever you will, but first be such as are able to will. - Friedrich Nietzsche // The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses. - Francis Bacon // Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are. - Soren Kierkegaard // The possible ranks higher than the actual. - Martin Heidegger //

#9 out of 40 — The Game is Afoot, the Games Are a Feat

Spent 4-5 hours on writing-related planning today.

When I think short story, I think "the game is afoot." Single punch to the gut, that kind of thing.

When I think novel, I think in terms of multiple games going on at once. And I think it's a feat to play them all well simultaneously.

That's all I have the stamina to post tonight. Besides--my router is buzzing loudly. I believe it will explode soon. So long, and thanks for the sushi.
