This is Part 6\u00a0of an ongoing mini-series chronicling the \u201cstory of a story\u201d: Daniel\u2019s work-in-progress, a swordpunk novel.<\/p>\n

Part 1: What to Do with a Story Idea That Won\u2019t Give Up on You?<\/strong> \u00bb<\/a>
\nPart 2: When Your \u201cPerfect\u201d Story Falls Flat<\/strong> \u00bb<\/a>
\nPart 3: Growing a Story from the Spine Out<\/strong> \u00bb<\/a>
\nPart 4: Story World Maps: Worthwhile or a Waste of Time?<\/strong> \u00bb
\n<\/a>Part 5: Unforeseen Endings & Other Gifts of a Flexible Novel Outline<\/strong> \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

My swordpunk novel is finally complete and with my agent! Hopefully it will sell. But it wouldn\u2019t have come this far without the constant input of my beta readers (thank you, Braden and Rachel!) as well as my\u00a0Wednesday\u00a0night critique group (thank you, Alphanauts!).<\/p>\n

This story has haunted me for two and a half decades<\/strong>;\u00a0In the Shadow of the Wise<\/em>\u00a0is the fifth novel I\u2019ve written around the core idea. It\u2019s a five-POV (point of view) science-fantasy that runs 162,000 words while mixing first- and third-person narration. It also tries to establish a new sub-genre of science fiction, a genre I like to call \u2018swordpunk\u2019 because of its eclectic mixture of medieval culture and cybernetic elements like cyborgs and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

All of which means that I desperately needed help revising the manuscript<\/strong>. Novels may be written in isolation, but they can only be properly revised with the help of outside perspectives. And I had no idea whether my various convention-stretching ideas were working\u2014or even original. (Not to mention the characters, prose, story structure, voice, continuity, pacing, conflict and theme all needed help!)<\/p>\n

In May of 2015 the Alphanauts started reading a chapter every\u00a0Wednesday\u00a0night. This is fast, but the novel still took fifteen months to work through. At times, reading my prose aloud was painful. What had seemed to work in the solitude of my office suddenly felt dry and pointless.<\/strong> Sections that had surprised me when I was writing them now seemed predictable. In the spotlight of scrutiny, everything meant to be shiny appeared dull.<\/p>\n

The Alphanauts, I should point out, are older, long-time \u201cOYANers\u201d who live in the area. They know how to give robust critiques<\/strong>, and their familiarity with each other makes them comfortable expressing conflicting opinion<\/strong>s. It\u2019s no exaggeration that our\u00a0Wednesday\u00a0night meetings often involve raised voices and hurdled objects. (It hasn’t come to fisticuffs yet, but hey, there\u2019s still time.)<\/p>\n

In short, the \u2018Nauts are always willing (indeed,\u00a0eager\u00a0might be a better word) to tell each other where their stories fail. In my case they are also generous. Fifteen months is a long time to give to someone else\u2019s novel.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have space to chronicle all the ways\u00a0Shadow<\/em>\u00a0was failing before the \u2018Nauts shredded it. Suffice it to say that its most egregious shortcomings were weaknesses I would never have caught on my own<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

One flaw in particular is worth mentioning. Apparently I have a tendency to pedantry. And not the soft, forgivable sort of pedantry that clutters academic writing with excessive and unnecessary details. No, my particular brand of pedantry has a smug quality to it, a habit of dismissing certain viewpoints when expressed in the lives of opposition characters and themes.<\/p>\n

This revelation surprised me.<\/strong> I don’t think of myself as pedantic or dismissive. I don’t see myself as close-minded. But then, who does? All of us want to believe the private fiction that we are enlightened and above condescension.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t true. At least in my case. My own words\u2014the words of my novel\u2014proved this, but only when brought into the light of group discussion<\/strong>. I simply wasn\u2019t trying hard enough to express the possible validity of things I disagree with. It\u2019s not hard to knock over straw men\u2014a truth I understood quite well. What I didn’t understand was how to recognize the straw men I\u2019d created<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Shadow<\/em>\u00a0needed me to rethink its villain. It needed me to rethink the culture I\u2019d created on the colony world of Rhega. Most of all, it needed me to rethink why its characters stood against the very things I hold to be true. I had to find beauty in the places I\u2019d intended to be ugly, and ugliness in the things I meant to be beautiful.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As I teach in The\u00a0One Year Adventure Novel<\/em>, you don’t convince readers of a theme by placing it behind protective glass<\/strong>. You have to do the opposite. Expose it to every possible challenge and trial.<\/strong> Try to knock it over with a battering ram. Set off dynamite at its base. Blast it with fire and meteors and government auditors.<\/p>\n

For this process you need opposing ideals that are represented fairly and completely. This is what\u00a0Shadow<\/em>\u00a0needed, and it\u2019s what I tried to do.<\/p>\n

If the novel ever sells it will be thanks in part to my agent. But perhaps the most important factor will have been those weekly meetings in which a small group of friends came together to expose my secret flaws.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Have you ever had my experience of finding out you have a writing flaw you never expected? How did it impact your story?<\/em><\/p>\n
