Barany here with How To Write The Future podcast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m here to support you fantasy and science fiction writers, especially, to help you create positive and optimistic futures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because when we vision what is possible with our stories, we help make it so in the world for our readers, for ourselves, and for the readers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this episode, I&#8217;m going to show you how I edit my own work and make sure that my world-building is grounded and yet doesn&#8217;t take away from the pacing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, take a look at it and take a listen, because this is both on YouTube and in audio format simultaneously.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope it&#8217;s helpful to you. If it is, please let me know. And if you have any further questions, let me know about that too. Also at the end, I will invite you: how can you get your work critique for free and be a part of my podcast too, so we help each other?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All right, and on with the show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am going to share with you a live edit of my own work and show you with my intuitive sense, which is really my body sense, working with my mind and based on all the knowledge I know, how to make sure there&#8217;s the quote-unquote right amount of details in the story about the world to move the story forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I&#8217;m also paying attention to character, point of view, setting, tone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And because this is what I consider a first pass, I&#8217;m actually not concerned with getting it right. I&#8217;m only concerned with: is there enough information here to move the story forward?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And here we are. Chapter 30.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I write my first draft, I don&#8217;t give my chapters numbers. I just give them descriptive names. So the old descriptive name of this chapter, which is going to go away in the final draft, but I keep it here for a few more edit passes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So it&#8217;s just called: Regroup and Getty One Police Station.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So Getty One is my space station location. And, That&#8217;s where we are. And then eventually I&#8217;m going to put a quote. I&#8217;m using a epigraphs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m putting quotes at the beginning of every chapter and I&#8217;m putting timestamps, but I&#8217;m not working on that. I&#8217;ve decided to stop doing that for this edit draft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All right. So let&#8217;s read the first paragraph as it exists right now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The local Leo&#8217;s showed up in minutes. They probably had squad rooms on every level. The station circumference was huge. It&#8217;d a\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m missing a word.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It would be a lot of work to get from level to level and a place this big. And with a population this diverse, the cops probably had their hands full with skirmishes and fights and thefts and the like. Thank the stars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So thank the stars is her way of saying, thank God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So let me work backwards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank the stars.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like I said, it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s her way of saying thank God.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How does your character exclaim\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So does your character have a unique way of praising or cursing or things that she or he might say, or they might say when they&#8217;re really grateful? And things they might say that they do say when they&#8217;re upset?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I&#8217;ve already established that this is book five in my series, but I put a lot of time in the earlier drafts to think about how she expresses gratitude and how she expresses frustration and anger or shock even. And so I have a whole list and I, I edited it and I worked at, and I got feedback on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And so thank the stars is her grateful thing to say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now I&#8217;m going to go back to the first sentence and this is me being intuitive and how I operate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">so the sentence:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The local Leo&#8217;s showed up in minutes.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay. So this is the beginning of a chapter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the previous chapter, she called them. She called the local cops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And LEO&#8217;s is if anyone reads crime fiction, then they know that LEO stands for Law Enforcement Officer. And I don&#8217;t think I ever explain it in this draft. And this is something that I will leave to see if my critique partners and editor think it should be explained. Otherwise, I&#8217;m just going to leave it because I, like I said, this is book five in this series. And people &#8211; if they&#8217;ve read the other books, then they know I&#8217;m writing science fiction mysteries. And they probably already know what LEO is.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>A Bit of Exposition\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then I go into explaining a little bit about the setting. This is called exposition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They probably had squad rooms on every level. The station circumference was huge.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It would be a lot of work to get from level to level and a place this big. And with a population this diverse, the cops probably had their hands full with skirmishes and fights and thefts and the like.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As they show up, you can think in real time, the character&#8217;s called them. Now they&#8217;ve showed up in minutes and the fact that they&#8217;ve arrived so quickly, she&#8217;s thought about how that could be. Now I&#8217;m not explaining, like how could they. How could they arrive so quickly? She&#8217;s just putting two and two together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, I think this description is okay. So my main concern here is: does this slow the action down?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I don&#8217;t think so, because if someone shows up in minutes, then you are already thinking, oh, how could they do that? And now she&#8217;s thinking about how they could do that. And she knows the station. She&#8217;s been there before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I don&#8217;t explain this, but I can just imagine that in previous visits she would have paid not that much attention to how things are organized <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for local law enforcement. But here, she&#8217;s thinking about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I&#8217;ve already established in a previous chapter that there are four levels to the space station.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So when we have the second sentence:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They probably had squad rooms on every level.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then the reader already has a picture &#8211; I&#8217;ve already described what the levels look like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then we learn a little bit more about the scope and scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why would they have squad rooms on every level?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then she explains in her thinking, and this is sentence three and four.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stations for conference was huge. It&#8217;d be a lot of work to get from level to level in a place this big.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So she&#8217;s putting it together from like an organizational, structural, geographical perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then it goes on. A little bit more thought about the fact that they showed up so quickly also lends her to this next thought in the next sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And with a population, this diverse, the cops probably had their hands full with skirmishes and fights and thefts and the like.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I&#8217;ve also in a previous chapter explained the kind of people who come to Gettie One. There&#8217;s military people. There&#8217;s miners, There&#8217;s families. It&#8217;s a transit station. It&#8217;s like a big, enormous airport, essentially, space station.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So there we go. And then now we&#8217;ve moved to her response to that. Like,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> thank goodness. They&#8217;re so busy. They know how to respond in a timely way.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then we get back into the action of the story where she&#8217;s dealing with the suspect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I just saw typo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So the next paragraph I&#8217;ll just read and then I&#8217;m going to stop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She didn&#8217;t know how long she could go without hitting Monisch<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; who&#8217;s the suspect.- <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or worse. She was just so mad.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I found a typo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I&#8217;m going to stop here and just say not everything in your story has to hint or paint the picture of your setting. But you can dribble it in as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All right. So, that&#8217;s it for now.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Questions and Next Steps\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have any questions about how to put your setting, your science fiction or fantasy setting, into your story without dragging down the story, let me know, and also sign up for a Story Success Clinic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you go to How to Write The Future, you&#8217;ll see a link to the Story Success Clinic.
