1:02 am | BryanThomasS: | He's also a regular participant in #sffwrtcht. Welcome @jasonsanford !!! |
1:02 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS Thanks for having me on. #sffwrtcht |
1:02 am | sffwrtcht: | Jason recently had emergency surgery to repair a detached retina. Was it scary to have them operate on an eye? #sffwrtcht |
1:03 am | jasonsanford: | @sffwrtcht Nope. That's what the "knocking you unconscious" part is for. More scary was the thought of losing my vision. #sffwrtcht |
1:03 am | BryanThomasS: | You blogged about this today and how it cramped your lifestyle. Do they expect full vision to return? #sffwrtcht |
1:04 am | sandrawickham: | @BryanThomasS *waves to @jasonsanford* #sffwrtcht |
1:04 am | sffwrtcht: | Is this a surgery you?d recommend to other writers? #sffwrtcht |
1:04 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS I'm hoping for a full return to vision. Right now that eye has less that 50%. But the docs say it looks good. #sffwrtcht |
1:04 am | inkedhistorian: | RT @sffwrtcht: Next Wed. we have @johnklima and on April 6, @inkedhistorian Carrie Cuinn, Publisher, Dagan Books #sffwrtcht |
1:05 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford So glad to hear it! And glad you're able to join us! Tell me to slow down if it gets blurry. #sffwrtcht |
1:05 am | shadowflame1974: | @jasonsanford when will you know for sure? #sffwrtcht |
1:06 am | jasonsanford: | @sffwrtcht As a writer, I was really worried about losing vision. If anyone gets a detached retina, don't wait to see the docs. #sffwrtcht |
1:06 am | jasonsanford: | @shadowflame1974 Depends. The doc said it could be weeks or months before I know if the vision returns. #sffwrtcht |
1:06 am | jasonsanford: | @sandrawickham Waves back. #sffwrtcht |
1:06 am | sffwrtcht: | Please tell us about how you got into writing. Did you start young? #sffwrtcht |
1:07 am | BryanThomasS: | @sandrawickham Thanks for joining us! #sffwrtcht |
1:07 am | unknownbinaries: | RT @sffwrtcht: Next Wed. we have @johnklima and on April 6, @inkedhistorian Carrie Cuinn, Publisher, Dagan Books #sffwrtcht |
1:07 am | sandrawickham: | @BryanThomasS I'm supposed to be working on my novel. Shhhhh. #sffwrtcht |
1:07 am | jasonsanford: | @sffwrtcht I did start writing young. I've always loved stories. For some reason I resonate to stories. #sffwrtcht |
1:08 am | BryanThomasS: | @Is writing a full time gig for you or do you do it between dayjobbing #sffwrtcht |
1:08 am | BryanThomasS: | Has anyone seen @sandrawickham? Hmmm. I guess she's dedicated to writing tonight. I admire her discipline. #sffwrtcht |
1:09 am | jasonsanford: | @sffwrtcht When I read or see a story, I automatically take it apart in my head. I like seeing what makes stories succeed / fail #sffwrtcht |
1:09 am | sffwrtcht: | @jasonsanford Which probably makes you a good reviewer as well. #sffwrtcht |
1:09 am | BryanThomasS: | What?s a typical writing day look like for you? Do you write daily after work? Get up early? #sffwrtcht |
1:09 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS I have a dayjob to support the family. For some reason kids like having regular meals and a roof. #sffwrtcht |
1:10 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford They're so demanding these kids today. We just weren't like that! #sffwrtcht |
1:10 am | BryanThomasS: | @sandrawickham ;) I need the laughs tonight. #sffwrtcht |
1:10 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS I tend to write in the evening after the kids go down. #sffwrtcht |
1:11 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford Which comes first?the character or their world? #sffwrtcht #sffwrtcht |
1:11 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS I also tend to jump around a lot in my writing, working on multiple stories at the same time. #sffwrtcht |
1:11 am | 2writeon: | @jasonsanford Did you ever think you would become as well-known as you are as a science fiction writer? #sffwrtcht |
1:11 am | BryanThomasS: | I do the same thing. Jumping around helps me prevent writer's block usually #sffwrtcht |
1:12 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS Depends on the story. Sometimes a great character grabs me first. Other times it's the world. #sffwrtcht |
1:12 am | BryanThomasS: | Does anybody else like to work on multiple things at once? #sffwrtcht |
1:12 am | sffwrtcht: | Do you outline? Do character sketches? Or let the story unfold? #sffwrtcht |
1:12 am | BryanThomasS: | @2writeon Great question! Thanks for joining us! #sffwrtcht |
1:12 am | shadowflame1974: | @BryanThomasS Yep all the time. even switching into different art forms #sffwrtcht |
1:12 am | jasonsanford: | @2writeon Yes and no. I always thought I'd eventually succeed as a write. But I don't think I'm there yet. #sffwrtcht |
1:13 am | sandrawickham: | @BryanThomasS Weird thing for me, I'm an admitted addicted multi-tasker, but for writing, I have to stick to 1 thing at a time. #sffwrtcht |
1:13 am | jasonsanford: | BTW, I want to give props to Angela of @2writeon. She's an old friend. We go way back. Thanks for joining us! #sffwrtcht |
1:13 am | BryanThomasS: | @sandrawickham Well, you're not alone. I know others who are that way too. That's what's amazing about the writer community! #sffwrtcht |
1:13 am | BryanThomasS: | Where do your ideas come from? #sffwrtcht |
1:14 am | daganbooks: | RT @sffwrtcht: Next Wed. we have @johnklima and on April 6, @inkedhistorian Carrie Cuinn, Publisher, Dagan Books #sffwrtcht |
1:14 am | jasonsanford: | @sffwrtcht With short stories I rarely outline or sketch. But with longer works I have to do that. #sffwrtcht |
1:14 am | BryanThomasS: | We're glad she could join us! #sffwrtcht |
1:14 am | atfmb: | #sffwrtcht Um... I have way too many projects all the time... Novel or two, short stories, podcasts, blog posts... |
1:14 am | BryanThomasS: | @2writeon Great. Have you had anything published? #sffwrtcht |
1:15 am | BryanThomasS: | RT @2writeon: @BryanThomasS I have been lurking. I also work on multiples. Currently I am working on a script and a novel. #sffwrtcht |
1:15 am | sffwrtcht: | Are there particular themes you find yourself revisiting time and again and why? #sffwrtcht |
1:15 am | jasonsanford: | @atfmb And that's the downside to working on multiple projects--it's harder to finish any particular story. It's a balancing act #sffwrtcht |
1:15 am | BryanThomasS: | @atfmb Yeah, you are the model multi-tasker, Patrick. :) #sffwrtcht |
1:15 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford On the other hand, if you get stuck on one, you have plenty to keep you busy. #sffwrtcht |
1:16 am | atfmb: | @jasonsanford #sffwrtcht True, but at the same time - if you get blocked/bored/frustrated with 1 project, you can grab another for a bit. |
1:16 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS Ideas constantly flow around me. I get too many of the damn things to write them all. Life inspires me, I guess. #sffwrtcht |
1:16 am | BryanThomasS: | RT @jasonsanford: @sandrawickham @BryanThomasS Working on multiple stories is indeed a great way to prevent writer's block. #sffwrtcht |
1:17 am | 2writeon: | @BryanThomasS many films, yes. As a matter of fact, it was @jasonsanford who published an essay of mine in StorySouth years ago. #sffwrtcht |
1:17 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford Awesome. I keep a running list of short story ideas. It's 7 pages right now. #sffwrtcht |
1:17 am | jasonsanford: | @sffwrtcht Themes I return to include what makes us human and how culture, intellect, and technology influence our world. #sffwrtcht |
1:18 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford Interesting. As you know, I'm also fascinated by culture's influence and technology as well. #sffwrtcht |
1:18 am | BryanThomasS: | Did your time in the Peace Corp influence your writing? #sffwrtcht |
1:18 am | BryanThomasS: | RT @jasonsanford: @atfmb Agreed. That's why I like writing multiple stories at once. #sffwrtcht |
1:19 am | 2writeon: | RT @BryanThomasS: Did your time in the Peace Corp influence your writing? #sffwrtcht |
1:19 am | BryanThomasS: | RT @jasonsanford: @BryanThomasS My Peace Corps time did influence my writing because it exposed me to a new outlook on the world. #sffwrtcht |
1:19 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford Where and when did you serve? #sffwrtcht |
1:19 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS In Peace Corps, we call it the fishbowl effect. You're outside your culture and everyone constantly watches you #sffwrtcht |
1:20 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford I know that feeling well. #sffwrtcht |
1:20 am | shadowflame1974: | @jasonsanford and you in turn watch everyone ;) #sffwrtcht |
1:20 am | sffwrtcht: | @jasonsanford What are some cultural differences you discovered through your time there watching, interacting, living? #sffwrtcht |
1:20 am | BryanThomasS: | RT @jasonsanford: @BryanThomasS I served two years in Thailand back in the mid 1990s. Amphur Sena, Ayuttaya, Central Thailand. #sffwrtcht |
1:21 am | jasonsanford: | @sffwrtcht My language ability as a Peace Corps Volunteer was poor, so I learned to understand people through other ways. #sffwrtcht |
1:22 am | BryanThomasS: | Some examples please. #sffwrtcht |
1:22 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS Like body language. I figured out which of my coworkers were having affairs before the rest of my Thai coworkers. #sffwrtcht |
1:23 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford LOL A good talent to have in some situations! #sffwrtcht |
1:23 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford Do you think crosscultural experienced broadened your idea base, your character base and how you view the world? #sffwrtcht |
1:24 am | jasonsanford: | @sffwrtcht I learned that at the core people are basically the same. But you overlook the non-core differences at your peril. #sffwrtcht |
1:24 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford I know you reviewed it. Did reading @paolobacigalupi's "Wind-up Girl" evoke vivid memories? #sffwrtcht |
1:24 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford Boy, isn't that the truth. Any specific examples? #sffwrtcht |
1:25 am | J_GriffinB: | TRUE! RT @jasonsanford: I learned that at core people are basically the same. Overlook the non-core differences at your peril. #sffwrtcht |
1:25 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS My cross-cultural experience massively broadened my worldview. Everyone should spend time outside their culture. #sffwrtcht |
1:25 am | BryanThomasS: | @J_GriffinB Good to see you here! #sffwrtcht |
1:25 am | 2writeon: | @jasonsanford Have your children allowed you to take your writing into a multi-verse, or do they influence you at all? #sffwrtcht |
1:26 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS @paolobacigalupi I felt The Windup Girl did a great job capturing a possible future Thai society and culture. #sffwrtcht |
1:27 am | sffwrtcht: | Do you read a lot of world SF from outside the western worldview? #sffwrtcht |
1:27 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford And as Paolo says, hopefully not one we ever see! #sffwrtcht |
1:27 am | sffwrtcht: | Feel free to jump in with questions for @jasonsanford #sffwrtcht |
1:28 am | jasonsanford: | @2writeon Having kids made me more aware of how powerful parental emotions/needs can be, which helps me evoke them in characters #sffwrtcht |
1:28 am | shadowflame1974: | @jasonsanford Have you had them reenact a scene for you yet? #guiltymom #sffwrtcht |
1:29 am | jasonsanford: | @sffwrtcht I read as much non-western SF as I can find. It's still tragically hard to find in the U.S. #sffwrtcht |
1:30 am | J_GriffinB: | @jasonsanford Is it mostly dominated by the Japanese? #sffwrtcht |
1:30 am | jasonsanford: | @shadowflame1974 It never occurred to have them do that. But I like the idea of having the kids act out a scene. #sffwrtcht |
1:30 am | J_GriffinB: | @jasonsanford I couldn't. Too much cursing and mayhem. #sffwrtcht |
1:30 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford What's a non-core difference between Thais & Americans which surprised you? #sffwrtcht |
1:31 am | J_GriffinB: | RT @jasonsanford: @J_GriffinB I some ways, yes. Most of the non-western SF I read or see does tend to come from Japan. #sffwrtcht |
1:31 am | shadowflame1974: | @J_GriffinB advantage of teenagers ;) #sffwrtcht |
1:31 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford Yes it is. I am thankful for the @ApexBookCompany anthos edited by @lavietidhar#sffwrtcht |
1:31 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS The attitude toward life. Thais have a more laid-back outlook, summarized by the phrase "Mai pen rai." #sffwrtcht |
1:31 am | sffwrtcht: | Who are some favorite non-western SF writers you've read? #sffwrtcht Anyone you'd recommend who has work out in English? |
1:31 am | J_GriffinB: | @shadowflame1974 And you get them to cooprate how? ;-) #sffwrtcht |
1:32 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS Being in Thailand really made me realize how "type-A" we Americans can be about everything. #sffwrtcht |
1:32 am | BryanThomasS: | @J_GriffinB Kids love to playact! #sffwrtcht |
1:33 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford LOL Lots of non-westerners are far more laid back. I wonder how they do it sometimes #sffwrtcht |
1:33 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford Oh man, you said a mouthful. We really are Type A's! #sffwrtcht |
1:34 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford My Ghanaian and Brazilians friends find my normal stress level amusing and puzzling at the same time #sffwrtcht |
1:35 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford Number one puzzled, amused and annoyed is my wife, who's from Rio de Janeiro. #sffwrtcht |
1:35 am | shadowflame1974: | @jasonsanford as a writer, what are you most proud of? #sffwrtcht |
1:35 am | jasonsanford: | @sffwrtcht S.P. Somtow. Lavie Tidhar. Aliette de Bodard. Anything and everything by Hayao Miyazaki. #sffwrtcht |
1:35 am | BryanThomasS: | RT @jasonsanford: @sffwrtcht S.P. Somtow. Lavie Tidhar. Aliette de Bodard. Anything and everything by Hayao Miyazaki. #sffwrtcht /Recommends |
1:35 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford Thanks! Two of those I have not yet read anything by! #sffwrtcht |
1:36 am | sffwrtcht: | Tell us about story south. What?s it all about? #sffwrtcht |
1:37 am | jasonsanford: | @shadowflame1974 As a writer, the story I'm most proud of is "Into the Depths of Illuminated Seas." #sffwrtcht |
1:37 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford @sfsignal was gracious enough to ask me to guest review @lavietidhar next novel. Excited to read it! #sffwrtcht |
1:37 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford When and where did that one appear so we can find it? #sffwrtcht |
1:38 am | jasonsanford: | @sffwrtcht storySouth is a literary journal focusing on Southern Literature. I founded it with a poet @jakeadamyork. #sffwrtcht |
1:39 am | sffwrtcht: | @jasonsanford Are you still editing and working on story south? #sffwrtcht |
1:40 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS The story appeared, naturally, in Interzone. I'll be reprinting it shortly in an ebook collection. #sffwrtcht |
1:40 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford Awesome. We'll look forward to that! (See I wasn't kidding about 1 out of 5 Interzone stories, people!) #sffwrtcht |
1:41 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford Mike Resnick told me the difference between Analog and Asimov stories is (cont) #sffwrtcht |
1:41 am | BryanThomasS: | Analog likes problems with solutions, and Asimov's likes problems with consequences. How would you define the Interzone story #sffwrtcht |
1:42 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS @TTAPress Interzone has been very supportive of my fiction. I love them for that. They're also a great magazine. #sffwrtcht |
1:43 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford That's awesome. Yep. I subscribed to it after hearing about your great stories in it. @ITAPress #sffwrtcht |
1:45 am | BryanThomasS: | RT @jasonsanford: @BryanThomasS @TTAPress Would it be wrong to say Interzone stories are very much in the SciFi Strange mold? #sffwrtcht |
1:45 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford I'd say that's a pretty apt description. #sffwrtcht @TTApress |
1:45 am | sffwrtcht: | @jasonsanford So you're working on an ebook collection. What other projects are you working on? Any novels? #sffwrtcht |
1:46 am | jasonsanford: | @sffwrtcht I plan to release a short story collection and a novella as ebooks. I'm also working on a fantasy novel. #sffwrtcht |
1:47 am | shadowflame1974: | @jasonsanford will this be your first novel? #sffwrtcht |
1:47 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford What type of fantasy? High? Epic? Urban? Low? Fantasy Strange? #sffwrtcht |
1:47 am | jasonsanford: | @shadowflame1974 Yes, this will be my first novel. #sffwrtcht |
1:48 am | jamesenge: | @jasonsanford I see from your bio that you've done some archeological work. Do you think it impacts your sf? #sffwrtcht |
1:48 am | shadowflame1974: | @jasonsanford what are you finding different between short stories and the novel? #sffwrtcht |
1:48 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS It's a fantasy set in the modern day along the Gulf Coast. But I hate the term urban fantasy. #sffwrtcht |
1:48 am | BryanThomasS: | @jamesenge Great question! Thanks for joining us! Looking forward to our chat with you on 4/20. Enjoying your book! #sffwrtcht |
1:49 am | jasonsanford: | @jamesenge Definitely. Storytelling is much the same as archeology. You brush away the dirt bit by bit until the story emerges. #sffwrtcht |
1:49 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford Yeah, urban fantasy definitely doesn't cover all modern fantasy. The term can be overused #sffwrtcht |
1:49 am | BryanThomasS: | RT @jasonsanford: @jamesenge Definitely. Storytelling is much the same as archeology. You brush away the dirt bit by bit until the story emerges. #sffwrtcht |
1:50 am | sffwrtcht: | @jasonsanford Is this novel part of a series or conceived as a standalone? #sffwrtcht |
1:50 am | jamesenge: | @jasonsanford Great line! #sffwrtcht |
1:50 am | BryanThomasS: | @jamesenge @jasonsanford Yep! That was the money quote! #sffwrtcht |
1:50 am | UvaUrsi: | RT @jasonsanford: @jamesenge Definitely. Storytelling is much the same as archeology. You brush away the dirt bit by bit until the story emerges. #sffwrtcht |
1:51 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS That's why I don't like the term urban fantasy. It's way overused. Almost generic. #sffwrtcht |
1:51 am | BryanThomasS: | @jamesenge You'd think @jasonsanford was a writer or something... #sffwrtcht |
1:52 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford How long have you been working on the novel? #sffwrtcht |
1:53 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS I refuse to reveal how long I've been working on the novel on the grounds that it may embarrass me. :-) #sffwrtcht |
1:54 am | sffwrtcht: | How long does it typically take you to write a short story? #sffwrtcht |
1:54 am | jamesenge: | @BryanThomasS Thanks for the kind words! And fully agreed about @jasonsanford 's skill with them #sffwrtcht |
1:54 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford ROFL Understood! #sffwrtcht |
1:54 am | shadowflame1974: | @jasonsanford Hey no worries. Some stories need time to develop fully. #sffwrtcht |
1:54 am | sffwrtcht: | 5 minutes left in #sffwrtcht. Get your questions in for @jasonsanford while you can. |
1:55 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford I have one that took me 9 months 1st draft. But the one I sold was in the works for 25 years #sffwrtcht |
1:56 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS You can't push a story faster than it needs to grow. #sffwrtcht |
1:57 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford And every time I look at it I think "it should be better after 25 years" #sffwrtcht |
1:57 am | jamesenge: | @jasonsanford "Urban fantasy" drives me nuts too. Is there a better term for fantasy set in the modern world, do you think? #sffwrtcht |
1:57 am | BryanThomasS: | @jamesenge @jasonsanford Does anyone use the term modern fantasy as a genre indicator? #sffwrtcht |
1:58 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS Someone once told me the story you write will never be as good as the story you see in your head. So true. #sffwrtcht |
1:58 am | BryanThomasS: | RT @jasonsanford: @BryanThomasS You can't push a story faster than it needs to grow. #sffwrtcht / Infinitely quotable @jasonsanford |
1:58 am | jasonsanford: | @jamesenge I don't think there is. At least with urban fantasy people know what you mean. #sffwrtcht |
1:58 am | 2writeon: | @jasonsanford @BryanThomasS thank you, have really enjoyed this! Can't wait to read the novel, Jason. #sffwrtcht |
1:59 am | BryanThomasS: | @jasonsanford I agree. & th\at's why I may never feel anything is totally done but you have to let them out into the wrld to live #sffwrtcht |
1:59 am | 2writeon: | RT @BryanThomasS: RT @jasonsanford: @BryanThomasS You can't push a story faster than it needs to grow. #sffwrtcht / Infinitely quotable @jasonsanford |
1:59 am | jasonsanford: | @BryanThomasS @jamesenge I don't think anyone uses modern fantasy as a genre designator. #sffwrtcht |
1:59 am | jasonsanford: | @2writeon Thanks. Now if I can just finish the damn thing. :-) #sffwrtcht |
2:00 am | jamesenge: | @BryanThomasS @jasonsanford I guess it could mean fantasy written now as well as set now--too ambiguous. #sffwrtcht |
2:01 am | 2writeon: | @jasonsanford You shall. Just hope it does not take 20 years! :) #sffwrtcht |
2:01 am | jasonsanford: | @jamesenge @BryanThomasS Part of the problem with using the term "modern" is it's associated with 20th century movements. #sffwrtcht |
2:02 am | shadowflame1974: | @jasonsanford thanks take care of that eye and goodluck on the novel #sffwrtcht |
2:02 am | 2writeon: | @jasonsanford @BryanThomasS :waves furiously at you both: Lurking is done, must step back to a script. Be well. #sffwrtcht |
2:03 am | BryanThomasS: | Sorry. Laptop died for no reason and rebooted. #sffwrtcht |
2:03 am | jasonsanford: | @shadowflame1974 @2writeon Thanks for taking part in this. #sffwrtcht |
2:04 am | sffwrtcht: | Jason, thanks for being our guest tonight! Good luck with your recovery! Any final thoughts? #sffwrtcht |
