Sodom and Gomorrah on a Saturday Night

Time and relative dimensions in fiction

December 14, 2019December 16, 2019 christammillerFiction, Musings
Woman juggling clock faces

No matter how much I might like to brand myself as “consistently inconsistent,” I’d like to find a better way. I’m not a fan of either separate accounts or one social network per interest. Neither feels quite right to me; it’s as if you’d be getting pieces, but not an integrated whole, not the full representation of me as a writer.

More incremental progress — and new crowdfunding opportunities! — in September’s fiction update

September 15, 2019September 15, 2019 christammillerFeatured, Fiction

Like most people, we hardly have $5,000 lying around. Obviously we’re financing the system, but therein lies the rub: it’s another monthly payment when our family is already strapped. So naturally, I did what any writer does when faced with such circumstances: I started a new crowdfunding account.

More processing on the concept of empathy

April 22, 2019April 22, 2019 christammillerFiction, Musings

Serendipity surprises me sometimes in the way it brings different elements together, either a set of new things that become a pattern, or new facets of something I’m already thinking about. Then again, maybe like Fox Mulder, I just want […]

Catching Up with Christa: The “2019 Can Downshift Now” Edition

March 17, 2019March 17, 2019 christammillerFeatured

How #metoo drove my second novella

September 28, 2018September 28, 2018 christammillerFeatured, Fiction, Musings

I posted this to Instagram on Monday, September 24, my brief contribution to the #BelieveSurvivors walkout organized by the #MeToo movement founder Tarana Burke: Later that week, listening to Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony, I became unexpectedly enraged. I found so […]

Revisiting some old (fictional) friends

August 6, 2018August 6, 2018 christammillerFiction, Writing Process

In April I blogged about going with the flow of some time-worn astrological advice to revise some fiction that had been rejected. With Mercury again in retrograde this month, while I got back to work on another dystopia that I’d […]

Planner, Pantser, Plantser

January 8, 2018 christammillerFeatured, Writing Process

I first came across those terms in 2016, when I got involved in my first (and, it turned out, last) NaNoWriMo. “Planners”: self-explanatory. They outline their plots, they work out detailed character descriptions, they worldbuild intricate settings. The idea is […]
