Was once again reminded of Ursula K. Leguin's daily schedule, and why this woman was an icon on every single level.

#UrsulaKLeguin #Books #Bookstodon #book #Writing #WritingCommunity
Ursula Le Guin‘s daily schedule

    5:30 a.m. - wake up and lie there and think.
    6:15 a.m. - get up and eat breakfast (lots).
    7.15 a.m. - get to work writing, writing, writing.
    Noon - lunch.
    1:00-3:00 p.m. - reading, music.
    3:00-5:00 p.m. correspondence, maybe house cleaning.
    5:00-8:00 p.m. make dinner and eat it.
    After 8:00 p.m. - I tend to be very stupid and we won't talk about this.

This was Le Guin's daily schedule first appeared in an interview she gave in 1988 (and more recently reappeared in Ursula Le Guin: The Last Interview and Other Conversations).

Inhaltswarnung: Dune (novel) spoiler


... on your toes, with things revealed in round about ways. For example Rincewind being captured by the Patrician is revealed first by a scene that describes the Patrician and a conversation with a guard, with Rincewind being revealed a few sentences later. So what you think you're reading turns out to be something different.

And much of the writing is like that with constant reveals and new information.

It's too early to say I'm enjoying the #book but so far so good.

#introduction

Primarily I write #ScienceFiction and #humor, but I've also written darkly comic stuff, fabulist satire, and some literary fiction. Once I blogged squibs, screeds and other drivel (some pure & some quite tainted with meaning.)

My cats keep me sane(ish).

If you want to understand my rich inner life, I recommend this #book: Alpha Max.

Occasionally pimp some of the others.

Dear #web experts in my timeline (and on the rest of the #Internet), what are the good #book / #tutorial / #workshop / #link / #blog with random UI design and implementation using simple HTML (or say with #bootstrap ) ?

I guess just simple #boostrap can solve most of my needs.

Today on our podcast Re-Creative Mark A. Rayner and I talk to author Jenn Thorson about the classic children’s story, Alice in Wonderland.

We discuss the history of the Alice in Wonderland books and the impact they've had on our culture. It's a fascinating conversation about the nature of writing with a “dream-like” quality.

Tomorrow is the first day for my #book #AdventCalendar!

The last time I had an advent calendar of any sort I was about 8. I'm really excited for it. I'm looking forward to discovering some new authors and hopefully seeing a couple of old favourites too. (Yes, I read a lot and will easily get through these. They will then be passed on to other readers who I book swap with).

Do you have an advent calendar? I'm curious to hear about it. 😊

Philip gave Alpha Max five stars!

"Witty and exciting. Thoroughly enjoyed this book which mixes philosophy and science fiction to explore the concept of the multiverse. "

And it's currently on sale, but only for another week! £3.22, 3,72 € or $3.99US. ($6US off!)
