If you can truly work that way, then I salute you. Okay, so you’re perfectly satisfied with sitting at your cramped card table after shoving aside the checkbook and the bills to clear a spot for writing. What could be more natural than speaking your novel aloud before committing the words to a computer hard drive or an editor’s red pencil? Revered shamans would tell tales around the campfire, legends of monsters in the darkness or heroes who killed the biggest mammoth. While this might not seem to be a writer’s traditional technique, remember that the storyteller’s art has always been a spoken one. Since that time, I’ve dictated nearly fifty novels on an innumerable number of microcassettes, speaking the words aloud, rather than typing them into my word processor. It’s been about fifteen years since I gave up the keyboard and took up a recorder for my first drafts. But don’t be concerned, don’t interrupt me, don’t bother me at all - I’m writing. If you see a person walking along engaged in a vigorous conversation with no one else around, it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s escaped from the nearest asylum. This article first appeared in the BULLETIN of the Science Fiction Writers of America Torgersen, Ron Collins, David Niall Wilson, and more.I receive many queries about my writing technique, so here’s a full description. Williamson, David Mack, David Farland, Dayton Ward, and Mercedes Lackey award winners Fritz Leiber, Steven Savile, Brad R. Anderson's novella sequel to the groundbreaking Rush album 2112.Ģ113 contains stories by New York Times bestselling authors Kevin J. This anthology also includes the seminal stories that inspired the Rush classics "Red Barchetta" and "Roll the Bones," as well as Kevin J. Many of Rush's big hits are represented, as well as deeper cuts. Most of these tales are science fiction, but some are fantasies, thrillers, even edgy mainstream. In this anthology, notable, bestselling, and award-winning writers each chose a Rush song as the spark for a new story, drawing inspiration from the visionary trio that is Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart.Įnduring stark dystopian struggles or testing the limits of the human spirit, the characters populating 2113 find strength while searching for hope in a world that is repressive, dangerous, or just debilitatingly bland. The music of Rush, one of the most successful bands in history, is filled with fantastic stories, evocative images, and thought-provoking futures and pasts. 18 exhilarating journeys into Rush-inspired worlds
