Finally got around to reading M. John Harrison's 'Viriconium'. It's kind of Michael Moorcock meets Mervyn Peake round Jack Vance's house, and contains some of the best writing I've ever encountered.

M. John Harrison - The End of Everything cover. Black background with the author's name in white, a blurb quote from China Mieville and a line saying 'Prize-winning author of The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again' in pale blue. Underneath those three lines, the title, which bleeds into a photograph of a man standing alone at the shoreline on a beach, is spelled out ion the light blue of clouds.

Here is a question for those of us who tell stories: how to deal with this time of screaming egos, without giving them Main Character Energy.

@mjohnharrison.bsky.social on the removal of "main character energy" agency https://buff.ly/4hVOfXq via @mjohnharrison

I tweeted words to the effect of, “The first thing to do is remove main character energy from main characters.” Someone replied with words to the effect of, “But why?” Some …

Just ventured over to ex-Twitter for probably the last time, in order to rescue a few tweets from M John Harrison that have taken up residence in my soul. Thanks to @rylandwk.bsky.social for making me think of it!
A pair of tweets from the author M John Harrison. The first reads, "lots of intuitive solutions turning up now, also perfectly workable offers from dreams--this is the deep pilot calling, why not try this or that"; the second reads, "the deep pilot is rarely wrong". William Gibson @GreatDismal IMO writing fiction is ultimately about what @mjohnharrison just called "the deep pilot". 6:44 AM Oct 9, 2018 William Gibson @GreatDismal Oct 9, 2018 Intimation of a similar idea, from E.M. Forster, has been the single most crucial "writing tip" I've ever received. 12 Ball @BoltzmannBooty Oct 9, 2018 Can you elaborate? Starting........NOW @FlatParrot Oct 9, 2018 There's a book in that Andrew Berg @andrew_b_berg Oct 9, 2018 I'd like to believe it extends to all creative work. The experience of listening and the 'the thing` just making itself. Andrew Berg @andrew_b_berg I'd like to believe it extends to all creative work. The experience of listening and the 'the thing` just making itself. 6:58 AM Oct 9, 2018 Andrew Berg @andrew_b_berg Oct 9, 2018 It's also why 'just starting is the hardest and most crucial part. The pilot can steer almost anything if it has a chance. William Gibson @GreatDismal Oct 9, 2018 In my experience "just starting" can last for hundreds of draft pages, "if it *has a choice*" being the real difference. Andrew Berg @andrew_b_berg. Oct 9, 2018 Is there a question of scale here? A novel's length requiring a higher level of investment? Are those choices about getting to a certain level of fidelity or casting aside preconceptions about what it 'should be and letting it be what it is? Probably one and the same... William Gibson @GreatDismal Oct 9, 2018 Forster's take was that until the characters, not the author, are in control, the author's not really doing the job.
