Divergent Sea Bass

On February 17, 2022 By Tristram LoweIn Progress Update, Short Stories, WritingLeave a comment

I'm surprised (and yet not) to see that September was the last time I wrote anything. Life is swimming past. We had a little snafu with formatting The Wind on the Blade recently, as I realized that there were two different versions, and the one that was imported into the book hadn't been updated. I …

Necks and Tails

On September 26, 2021 By Tristram LoweIn Progress Update, Short Stories, WritingLeave a comment

I had a realization about the final story in The Wind on the Blade, and it was that the guts and the bones are there, but some of them were in the wrong place. And the intent was wrong, or maybe didn't even exist. I had an intent, as the author, but my protagonist did …

Broken Plates

On September 21, 2021 By Tristram LoweIn Progress Update, Short Stories, WritingLeave a comment

I have added another 3605 words to the final story in The Wind on the Blade. Is it finished? Maybe. I don't know. I'm tired and I'm not up for reading it back right now. I'll do it in the morning. Or sometime thereafter. There is so much on my plate right now. My plate …

3am, writing

On September 15, 2021September 15, 2021 By Tristram LoweIn books, Japan, Progress Update, Short Stories, WritingLeave a comment

I am writing at 3am, trying to get the final story in The Wind on the Blade finished. It was an incomplete story in its first incarnation. The solution that I have been crafting, with my editor's input, is something that is much longer and more involved than what I had originally imagined. Therefore, I …

“Finally,” he said, unconvincingly.

On September 1, 2021September 2, 2021 By Tristram LoweIn books, Novel, Short Stories, WritingLeave a comment

I have finally finished the rewrite of the story that has been tormenting me lately. Yes, the one about the mystery victim in Headless. It is the fourth of six stories in The Wind on the Blade, half of which are short stories and half of which are novelettes. I did not know I was …

A Little Further

On August 23, 2021August 23, 2021 By Tristram LoweIn Novel, Progress Update, Short Stories, WritingLeave a comment

I got some good work in on the bonus story in The Wind on the Blade today and yesterday, mostly rewriting existing stuff, so it’s hard to give a word count. But I’ve gotten through the difficult bit finally. The rest is pretty good, although one section will need a POV shift. Then I get …

No Words Lately

On August 19, 2021August 19, 2021 By Tristram LoweIn books, Progress Update, Short Stories, WritingLeave a comment

I’ve spent a lot of time in bed these past few weeks, because of my surgery (which was for a hernia repair, FYI). I was frustrated that my recovery hit some unexpected bumps in the beginning, but I am feeling much better now. I'm still not supposed to carry the kid, but sometimes it's been …

An Update & Some Free Books

On August 3, 2021August 4, 2021 By Tristram LoweIn Novel, Short Stories, updateLeave a comment

Hello again. It’s been a long time, always longer than it feels. When I look at the date of my last post it’s kind of shocking. April 21st this time. Over three months. Oh, Time, how you deceive me. I’m going to give more regular updates on my writing progress and maybe life things here, …

Third Person is Not a 30k Feet View

On December 17, 2020December 19, 2020 By Tristram LoweIn WritingLeave a comment

I started listening to a popular writers' podcast this morning, one I have listened to a few times before and enjoyed. Today, however, I had to turn it off after only a couple minutes. One of the writers talked about writing in the first person and how he preferred it to the "30,000 feet view …
