Serge Broom @sergebroom.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Writing… I think I will be able to add parrots to that scene set on an alien planet, and in a way that contributes to the plot. 010

Serge Broom @sergebroom.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Writing… Yesterday I finally got the next chapter going. I knew what needed to happen, but I had to find the opening sentence. Once I did, the writing just flowed out of me. 040

Serge Broom @sergebroom.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Writing… When I’m not sure how to say what I know should be in a scene, I do the first draft with pen on paper then I type the second draft. Today, as I sat down to write a scene, I decided to go straight to typing. I still prefer pen/paper for the first draft, but I could do the other way first. 010

Serge Broom @sergebroom.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Writing… I had scribbled a scene’s second half a few days ago, but wasn’t sure about the first half. Late this afternoon the opening sentence popped into my mind. I didn’t want to forget it so I grabbed my pen and pad. Next thing you know, I had covered the whole page with the scene’s full start. 050
Serge Broom @sergebroom.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Writing… I added some words to the novel. I like the order in which I put them. 2301
Serge Broom @sergebroom.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Writing… I kept thinking I needed to better convey that the main character is a Merchanter, not just using her ship to transport goods for others from one star system to the next. I spent yesterday and today thinking about how to do it. Today I took pen and notepad, covered a whole page with dialog… 120

Serge Broom @sergebroom.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Writing… One week ago I scribbled the beginning of a scene, but I set it aside because it didn’t feel right. I tried other beginnings, but they didn’t feel right. Today I looked at that original version. It feels right now. All I have to do is to tell it as something happening right then at the… 160
Serge Broom @sergebroom.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I just watched 2023’s movie “Round and Round”, in which a young woman is stuck reliving the same seventh day of Hanukkah again and again and again, and finds a way out with the help of gamers and an art teacher who really wants to draw comic-books. 000

Serge Broom @sergebroom.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Writing… I finished that scene’s first draft. I like it, but I need to tone down her wanting to bite people’s heads off. Maybe she can just nibble at the blankhole’s head. 010
Serge Broom @sergebroom.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Writing… That chapter’s short opening scene took a couple of hours to write, but it was worth it. 020
Serge Broom @sergebroom.bsky.social · 22/07/2026In the mail… 1972’s #161 of “The Incredible Hulk”, by Len Wein and Herb Trimpe… This was my first exposure to Hank McCoy, who since then has been my favorite mutant. Heck… His idea of crossing into Canada discreetly was to drop his ‘normal’ disguise while apparently abducting his lady companion. 000
Serge Broom @sergebroom.bsky.social · 22/07/2026In the mail today… Allen Steele’s newest novel “Lemuria 7”, a 200-page book which stitches together three related hard-SF novellas. 000
Serge Broom @sergebroom.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Writing… I still don’t have a firm image of what needs to happen in the complete rewrite of those next chapters. I have a broad idea of how to end that part of the plot at least. So, instead of THINKING about it, I started WRITING and I’ll see where inspiration takes me… 020
Reposted by Serge BroomWilliam Preston @williampreston.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Now's a good time for folks to buy my book of five Old Man stories because every chapter in the fifth one takes its title from a phrase in Tennyson's "Ulysses."

Serge Broom @sergebroom.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Writing… Those two chapters need to be completely rewritten. I know what the beginning has to be. I know what the outcome has to be. I have some notions of what has to happen between those two points, but nothing firm yet. 020
