A Weekend Away, and Some New Books

2022-01-232022-01-26 John Winkelman

Books from the week of January 16, 2022

As I start writing this post (Thursday, January 20) I have just checked in at the Sheraton Hotel in Novi for the 2022 edition of the ConFusion Science Fiction Convention, dubbed Rising Confusion. I am here as a volunteer and a moderator for one panel, and also an attendee in what is sure to be a fun, if substantially smaller than usual, convention.

Two new stacks of printed-upon tree-derived material arrived at the house this week.

First up is the latest issue of Poetry, the first of 2022 and one of my few remaining subscriptions.

Next is Fateforge vol. 4, titled Encyclopedia, an RPG rulebook for an RPG I have never played, and likely never will. I backed it on the spur of a moment back this past spring. It is gorgeous, as have been all the other RPG manuals I have backed on Kickstarter over the past several years. This may be a habit I need to rein in, as RPG manuals tend to be expensive and take up a lot of shelf space.

And that’s it for this week. More next time, after I have had a chance to reintegrate into the mundane world.

Don't like "Show, don't tell?" Try: "Demonstrate, don't lecture." Characters use words & deeds. #writetip #characters #scenes
