Better Writing Through Birdemic

October 29, 2012 by Christopher Gronlund 1 Comment

Last Thursday, I finally saw Birdemic (the RiffTrax Live event). It was a blast; I was hoarse for a couple days from laughing so hard. Somewhere into the opening credits, which drag on and on and on and on, it hit me: people can learn some writing lessons from watching this movie mocked by the […]

What is Genre

October 22, 2012 by Christopher Gronlund 4 Comments

Genre’s a funny thing. There are definitely genre books out there. If I pick up anything from Harlequin, I know what I’m getting (although, they do publish more than just romance). If I swing by Subterranean Press, it’s science fiction, fantasy, or horror. But even there, in those genres, things are not always so easily […]

For Your Perusal Bookstore

October 18, 2012 by Christopher Gronlund 3 Comments

Last month, I posted video tours of a bookcase in my living room and another in my office. Because I try keeping the videos I make 3-5 minutes in length, I didn’t have time to focus on the pile in the bookcase in my office. (It’s the image over there to the right.) I have […]

This might be my favorite thing I’ve read in a couple weeks, an essay by Emily St. John Mandel about the work that goes into writing, and how — in its own way — that work is reward enough for all those hours spent in solitude. It’s not just the glimpse into the life of […]

One for the Condo

October 12, 2012 by Christopher Gronlund 2 Comments

I’ve been catching up on podcasts lately. Last week at the gym, I finally listened to the Nerdist interview with Thomas Jane. Much of the interview focuses on how technology has reached a point of allowing people to make the things they want to make, put them out there, and see what happens. (Obviously, promoting […]

October (Is Made for Writing)

October 1, 2012 by Christopher Gronlund 2 Comments

On his blog this morning, Paul Lamb mentioned that it’s October. October is my favorite month. (Well, when I lived in the Chicago area it was; in Texas, November is the closest we get to October up north.) It’s a great month to be outside. It’s a great month to throw open the windows and […]
