Is it #Foreshadowing or #vageposting? Either way, editing tomorrow’s episode is making me laugh which is usually a good sign.

Me: I am struggling with the news, I will listen to audiobooks so I don't have to listen to the news podcasts.

Also me: OMG something terrible is about to happen in this book, I am going to listen to news podcasts while I take a break from the book.

Today's poem:

The Ship
- by Carol Ann Duffy

In the end,
it was nothing more
than the toy boat of a boy
on the local park’s lake,
where I walked with you.

But I knelt down
to watch it arrive,
its white sail shy
with amber light,
the late sun
bronzing the wave
that lifted it up,

my ship coming in
with its cargo of joy.

@SFRuminations A 1978 book that's so obscure I may be the first person to review it.

Quando te apercebes que os personagens principais do Crime do Padre Amaro... são a versão mais nova da Madalena e do António que apareceram no primeiro episódio de Pôr do Sol :eyes_opposite:

Isso quero dizer... que o Crime do Padre Amaro aconteceu antes do Pôr do Sol? :blobmindblown:

I realized that Dumas starting the Count of Monte Cristo on February 24th, 1815 is like Tom Clancy starting a novel on September 7th, 2001. To contemporary Frenchmen it would be obvious what major events are about to transpire.

These days only real grognards know that Napoleon’s return from Elba is imminent.

#writinglife: Writing a novel and #writing a computer program are surprisingly similar. Both use syntax and #grammar. Both have a vocabulary. You make statements of truth. You build the novel or program.

In the case of a #program, you run it. You look to see if you get sensible output. If not, you fix what you wrote and try again to see if you get sensible output until you #publish it.

In the case of a #novel, you create #characters and settings, and #compile them into scenes and chapters, then you write the ending. You look to see if you have a sensible story. If not, you fix what you wrote—whether backfilling #foreshadowing, correcting #plot points, or adding/deleting scenes and/or characters—then you try again to see if you have a sensible story until you publish it.

Writing is an iterative process in logic. I'm writing the ending to a novel right now, the one that goes with this post: https://eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/109577332108747664 .

I've figured out where all the threads my characters generated tie up. Yes, by knowing the ending when I start to write the novel (and not all that much more), I experience and record what the characters do as I write their scenes. I corral them as I go, and keep them on-program, but incorporate the revelations.

Then comes the point when the subplots all come to a climax and they must create a sensible story. Last night I jotted down everything that needs to happen in that chapter... and surprisingly, for a #firstdraft, it made sense. For >100K words, thank goodness, right?

That doesn't mean I won't fix up things earlier in the story to make it better. Perhaps cut verbiage, remove inadvertent #redherrings, move some parts around...

The important thing is: It's a sensible story. Better: It will soon be complete.

My son disproved my brilliant "#Jolyne is secretly a #Stand because she is the only character named after a song" theory by finding three side characters named after songs: Suzy Q, Billie Jean, and one other so far to the side I can't remember his name: the guy hiding #Dio's lair in #Egypt in Part 3.

But after seeing the finale of #StoneOcean, I now get what I was missing all along: that her name was meant to be a clue to her Tragic Fate and True Nature. In the most subtle use of #Foreshadowing ever, #Araki hints from the start that Jolyne is *not* the main character of the show, that she is just a side character! In fact, this explains something that had always bugged me: the way Araki spells her last name "Cujoh," instead of her father's "Kujo." That is also a clue: she is not a #JoJo at all - she is a #JoJOH! The TRUE main character all along was the sole survivor #EmporjoAlninjo, who, as I will show in this essay...

🧵 My #Weaving Journey: (continued) I rarely use "stories" features on platforms, but I did enjoy seeing that four years ago today, I was posting more fun photos of my bulky yarn demo preparation for #AndeanBackstrap weaving samplers.

These are ATYPICAL weaving demo bundles, designed to be easy to see from a distance. I made these in 2018, with no forewarning that they would be useful on Zoom in lockdown. #foreshadowing
