    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Someone recently asked me – “how do you deal with writing in public? People on the internet are such assholes!”

I’ve often heard the advice “don’t read the comments”, but actually I’ve learned a huge amount from reading internet comments on my posts from strangers over the years, even if sometimes people are jerks. So I want to explain some tactics I use to try to make the comments on my posts more informative and useful to me, and to try to minimize the number of annoying comments I get.

    <title>Postmodern Use of Parody and Pastiche – Literary Theory and Criticism</title>
    <dc:date>2022-10-30T11:53:52+00:00</dc:date>
    <link>https://literariness.org/2016/04/05/postmodern-use-of-parody-and-pastiche/</link>
    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Pastiche is therefore a kind of permutation, a shuffling of generic and grammatical tics. The mere presence of pastiche in postmodernist writing is not in itself unique. The infancy of the novel form itself was marked by a succession of parodies, from Samuel Richardson to Laurence Sterne. Yet as John Barth points out in his essay The Literature of Exhaustion (1967) and its sequel The Literature of Replenishment (1980), there is certainly something peculiar and distinctive about the contemporary mania for impersonation.

Barth‘s earlier essay epitomizes a mood in the late 1960s, when critics such as Susan Sontag were busy greatly exaggerating rumours about the death of the novel. The traditional devices of fiction seemed clapped out, unable to capture the complexities of the electronic age. At first it was thought that Barth, by stressing the exhaustion of both realism and modernism, had not only joined the novel’s funeral procession, but was volunteering to be chief pall-bearer. However, the critics overlooked his claim (reasserted in the later essay) that the corpse could be revivified by stitching together the amputated limbs and digits in new permutations: by pastiche, in other words. Pastiche, then, arises from the frustration that everything has been done before. As Fredric Jameson notes in Postmodernism and Consumer Society (1983), ‘the writers and artists of the present day will no longer be able to invent new styles and worlds … only a limited number of combinations are possible; the most unique ones have been thought of already’. So instead of honing an unmistakable signature like D. H. Lawrence or Gertrude Stein, postmodernist writers tend to pluck existing styles higgledy-piggledy from the reservoir of literary history, and match them with little tact.

    <title>The Zettelkasten Method for Fiction Writing • Zettelkasten Method</title>
    <dc:date>2022-04-29T01:44:45+00:00</dc:date>

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Zettelkasten Method for Fiction by Sascha Fast

This four-part series is designed to get you started. You can learn about specific techniques on analysing and writing fiction. Read this series as an inspiration what you can do, not what you should do.

The first part, “Knowledge is Knowledge”, is based on the claim that you can treat fiction as non-fiction if you like. This approach is one way to get you going and to process fiction you read. It is somewhat controversial since I commit a literary sin: I divorce the quote from the source and process not with any obligation to the text. @dgbecher highlighted this issues with this approach with a very justified critique. So, you might read the text within the context of this and this comment.

The second part, “What you can look for in a story”, aims to provide you with a framework on how stories work. I provide you with a framework of building blocks of stories. I base this frame work on “story practicians” like Coyne(1) or Truby.(2) The second part makes use of the assumption that Reading is Searching that I used for non-fiction text already.

The third part, “Create a toolbox to analyse stories that lives in your Zettelkasten”, serves as a bridge between analysing stories and creating stories. Tools can be used to both assemble and disassemble stories. Working with those tools is both an opportunity to understand or create stories and sharpen the tools along with your skill to use it.

The fourth part, “Creating Stories”, is geared towards producing stories. There are many ways to skin this cat. I present some ways that you can use within the framework of the Zettelkasten Method. If you have a Zettelkasten, why not harness its power to support this endeavour of yours?

The Zettelkasten Method stays the same whether you apply it to writing fiction or non-fiction. The reason is that the Zettelkasten Method entails very general principles. The word “general” essentially means “non-changing”. This unchanging nature is the difference between “general” and “specific”.

Note: I attended a couple of classes in literary studies at University. When I started to learn about stories I was struck by the difference of people who teach to write stories and and my experience in literary studies. Later, when I read authors like Jordan Peterson, Jonathan Pageau and Christopher Booker on how they analyse stories, I came to the conclusion that their approach to stories is much closer to the “story practicians” (Truby, Coyne and the like) than the “story theoreticians” (mostly academics). So, my approach to story is very blue-collar and non-academic.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Scholars and writers are apt to dismiss words not immortalized on the page, issuing merely from the lips. People lie, repeat themselves, contradict what they've just said, phumph and jabber endlessly. Singers and storytellers, bombastic preachers, drunken barroom rhetoricians, fast-talking salesmen, Don Juans purveying sugarcoated come-ons—all were past masters of the shady arts of speech. We may listen, but we don't entirely trust; many of us want to see it in black and white, laid out on the page in front of us. Without that reassuring superstructure of print, speech and song can seem deficient.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[What is acceptable now is not ordered but understood, conveyed by the nuance of new social proscriptions, enforced by a roll call of new profanities, new obscenities, new urgencies, new blasphemies, which we absorb as if by osmosis and call common sense, decency, respect, responsibility.
Writing though should never pretend to respect or responsibility. Ever since the man from La Mancha put a toilet bowl on his head and strode out into the world in emulation of higher things great literature has not been serious about the pieties and verities of its age. It has confronted cant and dogma with the absurdity of existence and laughed, questioning and upending them. Posterity, the blindest of fools, condescends to all who have gone before. Yet Cervantes, like Voltaire, laughed at religious faith and mocked rigidly held beliefs.
Do we?
The new proscriptions arise out of important and necessary social struggles. But in prosecuting causes and politics, writers are sometimes told to stay in their lanes. Writers who offer nuanced positions are attacked as the enemy they are not. Those who fail to observe the new road rules suffer opprobrium, shaming and sometimes are called on to publicly repent.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“What are you working on?” is probably the question writers get asked most in the small-talk section at the beginning of a meeting. If I were to face that question today, the answer would be “Four feature films, two TV shows and a podcast series”. In addition, I’m also always involved with several pitches and some ongoing development conversations. That sounds like a lot, and it looks like a lot when I write it down. And this isn’t about bragging - I didn’t say all of these were paid jobs and certainly there have been plenty of times when NONE of them would have been paid work. This is about managing a workload; although it looks like I must be crazy busy, I rarely feel crazy busy - I still seem to have plenty of time in a day for meetings and for reading, watching stuff, staring into space etc. I always take time out at lunch to watch an episode of something, and I go to the gym (sometimes), go for a walk every day, do the shopping etc.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Writing, then, spans an interval of sense-making during which I have digested and internalised the work of various authors, filmmakers, musicians, scientists and philosophers, leading to personal insight and understanding. Writing is working things out, mulling over, or what Maria Popova refers to as figuring. It is then codifying whatever has been learned as a waymark to what is to be learned next.

Despite the author’s inevitable solitude during this period, writing is ultimately a communal activity. Conversation with family, friends and colleagues helps hone and refine ideas, bringing new perspectives to bear on the work in progress. Once that work has been published, writing can be seen as something that is wholly co-creative. The reader completes and expands upon what the author started. The publication is a contribution to an ongoing conversation.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Informing the reader means finding ways to tie even short articles to the seething complexity—and even scientific facts—that underlie necessarily simplified and abbreviated quotations and paraphrases. Eschewing context means the reader must assemble it for herself or risk assuming that the various views presented in a neutrally framed article are roughly equal in reason and virtue. Offering too much context, even in a neutral framing, can make an article feel dry. Many journalists appear to fear the latter a bit more than the former, which results in conventions of coverage that drain important topics of their real weight and life.

This balancing act is an enormous challenge, and I’m grateful that my daily work doesn’t involve wrestling with it. But this article, and so many like it, fail to accomplish a centrally important aspect of making sense of the world, and I think that matters.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[In this context, I think it becomes especially important to explain why we value modes of thinking that don’t have an immediate, contemporary, political instrumentality. The history of the Song dynasty, the reproductive biology of sea grasses, the nature of gravity, all matter for us. Part of the dignity of being human is to be a creature for whom those things matter. It may be tempting to express this by saying that universities preserve a space for dispassionate reflection, but that wouldn’t be right. In the present state of human affairs, the struggle to back up, to get a bigger picture, to think more broadly and more candidly about the world, is itself a passionately political act. And given the bloody history of our species, this was probably always true.

I sense that they both stem from a sense of exhaustion with what I’m calling Big Internet. By Big Internet, I mean the platform- and plantation-based internet, the one centered around giants like Google and Facebook and Twitter and Amazon and Apple. Maybe these companies were insurgents at one point, but now they’re fat and bland and obsessed with expanding or defending their empires. They’ve become the Henry VIIIs of the web.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[It is easy to forget that De Quincey was arguing a case, not stating the obvious. A contrast between ‘the literature of knowledge’ and ‘the literature of power’ was not commonly accepted when he wrote; in the era of revolution and reform, knowledge was power. The early nineteenth century witnessed remarkable experiments in literary form in all fields. Among the most distinguished (and rhetorically sophisticated) was a series of reflective works on the sciences, from the chemist Humphry Davy’s visionary Consolations in Travel (1830) to Charles Lyell’s Principles of Geology (1830-33). They were satirised to great effect in Thomas Carlyle’s bizarre scientific philosophy of clothes, Sartor Resartus (1833-34).

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The standing desk, on the other hand, is less capacious and sentimental. There’s very little room to store abandoned manuscripts, rejection letters, or knickknacks. Distractions are kept to a minimum. It’s taller, sleeker, and less hospitable than its slouchier cousin. In the way that it mimics a lectern, a podium, or a drafting table, it reminds the writer that this activity requires blood, enzymes, and exertion. Here is your novel, spread out like a map or a campaign speech. Here are your poems, arranged like blueprints. Pace, stamp your feet, fold your arms, but stay upright. Stand there like it’s the prow of a ship.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Post-literacy will not mean the end of knowledge, but only the end of the system, in place for the past 600 years or so, of knowledge production and dissemination. In its place, if we are fortunate, there will be new forms of learning, perhaps some of which will return to older, pre-Gutenbergian praxis. After all, the book not only helped knowledge to expand, it also served as a crutch, and weakened our discipline for memorization and other forms of dematerialized mastery. Perhaps, now free of our bulky prostheses, we will return to forgotten exercises of the ars memoriae.

Ideally, also, mastery will be coupled with creative appropriation, that is to say with what is too easily set off to the side as satire. This coupling would also be the solution to a dilemma, one that haunts a particular species of restless soul, for which the straightfaced telling of what is the case could never be enough, and least of all now, when machines can do the telling for us.

Not every artificial news hook thuds as badly as “good riddance.” Many more go unnoticed. But when we insist on timeliness and newsiness, we constrict the range of our reading universe and cut ourselves off from the best, most discursive traditions in nonfiction.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The Internet hasn't changed that. What it has changed is the relative visibility and mixture of the different motivations. Letters used to be private—not so much, as it turns out, because the writers wanted privacy as because there simply was not the mechanism to make them more public. Now there is, and as a result, we are all reading everybody else's letters all the time. This is great for everyone who is writing in order to form connections or communities. It's not so great for those of us writing for fame and fortune, since all those letter writers tend to glut the market. But the fact remains that, for what most people want to use writing for most of the time, the Internet has undoubtedly transformed the world for the better.

The result is that serious acts of literary theft have been mixed up with trivial ones. Carelessness has been mislabeled as corruption. Clear norms of personal morality and professional ethics have been confused with standards and practices.

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Writing as a Calling: Take Two

I now understand the difference between writing as a calling and writing as a hobby. Most educated and reasonably smart people can pull off an occasional piece of good writing, just as every home cook can pull off a great meal once in a while. The challenge for someone making a living off writing is to do so consistently, week after week, through good moods and bad, through inspiration peaks and troughs. It is exactly the challenge faced by an executive chef.

Last year, in The Calculus of Grit, I noted that while number of words written is the key metric for all writers, the difference between experienced and inexperienced writers is not the number of words written, but rewriting capacity. 

Beginners generally find it hard to even see where improvements can be made in a chunk of text, let alone deploy an arsenal of techniques to actually make those improvements.  As you write more and more, somewhere around the 500,000 word mark, you find that both your “first dump” quality and time spent rewriting are steadily going up. Within a few years of consistently sitting down week after week to write for public consumption (though these days I often use a standing desk), you find that your first draft quality usually beats the final draft quality of many beginning writers, and that you are also then able to spend 4x more time improving it, without running out of ideas. As you progress, you find that your quality even under extreme stress, and while drunk, starts to beat many beginner efforts.

All that still holds true, but this year, I think I figured out how to thoughtfully connect inner growth as a writer to external validation. It is not enough for your internal compass to tell you that you are improving. You need to be able to hit the external target you want consistently as well. The inner compass remains primary, but the external hit rate helps you keep it calibrated. What you measure varies depending on your intentions, but you do need to assess whether a piece worked the way you intended it to.

The big danger is being tempted into seeking a 100% hit rate of external success in terms of traffic and reader appreciation. This means you focus on repeating the formulas that you already know how to work well, and give up on all the experimentation. Which is where both the personal growth and surprise hits come from."]]></description>

Value for consumers searching for information, value for advertisers trying to share their messages with consumers searching for related topics, value for content creators who want an audience. And of course, value to the entity that serves as the middleman between all those different groups. This is in part what Jeff Jarvis has called the “link economy,” but as Jarvis has himself observed, it is not just a matter of links. What is crucial to this system is that text can be easily moved and re-contextualized and analyzed, sometimes by humans and sometimes by machines."

This seems to be the question Hegemann is using as a defense. Original content, then, becomes subordinate to context, meaning that as long as a newer, larger work is being created, portions of prior works are fair game."

Does it matter how the hyperspace drive works if all it needs to do is to get the protagonist from A to B? Too much exposition in science fiction stories has nothing to do with the story – it’s the author showing off their setting. For many readers, this is required. It’s immersion."

Like I said, that's not what we do here. Nor will we: it cheapens the blogging.

An aside: Something that people seem to forget is that one of the strengths of ScienceBlogs, in my opinion, is that many bloggers here are professional research and educators, not full-time professional writers."

Still, as an exercise in accountability, political journalists should ask themselves from time to time: Would I write this about a war, or a depression? In the same vein, a government official once told me that the best way to cover Washington is as a foreign capital—as Baghdad, or Kabul."

A link in each web article that jumps to a spreadsheet of donors and dollar signs, and let the reader judge?  Conversely, many people trust NPR and PBS as a news source, but are satisfied by the simple roll call of sponsors and slogans.

So how do we present this information and context honestly and tactfully?  It reminds me of a discussion at ScienceOnline2010 promoting fact-checking policy disclosures.  What if you could only afford to fact-check 10% of your reporters’ articles?  Does that disclosure give your readers more or less confidence in your service?"

While he was writing it, I met him on the street one day, and he said he was feeling a bit miffed because he had wanted to write a memoir about several aspects of his life, but his editor wanted "the stroke, the whole stroke, and nothing but the stroke." In the book he has sneaked in something of his very interesting life, as well as what happened in the aftermath of the stroke. Between them, Howard and those who read his externalized thoughts back to him have written a wonderfully insightful and engaging book."

He had me go over them, improve them, write some new text as he read his Arabic in halting English, told me exactly how he wanted it to sound, pressed me to find shorter ways to say things, and finally got me to write out (for his next helper, no doubt) a clean copy of all my work...."

In fact, I even wrote a book about it, where I went back and read the founders' early writings about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. What a fascinating time to be alive! What astonishing minds! Here's what I learned: our whole system of government was based on the idea that the purpose of the state was to preserve individual liberties, not to dictate them. The founders uniformly despised many practices in England that compromised matters of individual conscience by restricting freedom of speech. Freedom of speech – the right to talk, write, publish, discuss – was so important to the founders that it was the first amendment to the Constitution – and without it, the Constitution never would have been ratified."

The virus still flourishes in our schools and cultural institutions; our self-appointed guardians of culture still leave genre writers off the literary tea guest lists. She writes mysteries, my dear, she'll show up reeking of gin. Or you get: He writes thrillers? How crass. It's so American.

"Popular fiction" has become a term of vulgar connotation, but it reeks of ironic paradox: obviously we sobersided Canadians ought to be reading unpopular fiction. (As an aside, reflecting an antithetical American attitude, I once got a rejection from a publisher down there who complained a manuscript was "too literary for the genre.")"

    <dc:creator>Vaguery</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["I happen to believe that this blog tells a positive story. It is the story of a family unsatisfied with a typical yuppie trajectory in San Francisco who intentionally moved to the most maligned city in America. It is the story of a man who finds that city beautiful in ways that may be difficult to understand at first, though if you stay long enough he'll try to explain. It's the story of thousands of people around the world who for some reason return to this website despite having no connection to this failing Rust Belt, one-industry town wounded by racism and poverty but surviving with a compelling grace. This is, I believe, ultimately a story with hope: another family choosing to root itself where so many are warned never to go. A city full of beautiful people surviving among the ruins. Strangers who come here to read with care and concern in their hearts. A seed that germinates in words never before read."
