And when they weren’t. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:19:05 +0000 2013)StevenGould: JUMPER came from spending too much time in airports and college bull sessions. Alcoholic father was mine, though. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:21:21 +0000 2013)sffwrtcht: .@StevenGould That’s tough. Davy’s father is quite difficult. How long did the novels take to write? #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:21:48 +0000 2013)sffwrtcht: Jumper is the story of Davy who lives alone with his difficult alcoholic father. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:22:22 +0000 2013)StevenGould: .@chippermuse I anonymize by daughters pretty good in IMPULSE, I hope. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:22:41 +0000 2013)sffwrtcht: When Davy discovers he has the power to “jump” from one place to another, not just a few feet but whole continents. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:22:43 +0000 2013)sffwrtcht: And as Davy explores his new power he learns that the world is literally his for the taking. But there are consequences too. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:23:09 +0000 2013)StevenGould: The first novel took 2 years. The other answer is the novels took 20 years. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:23:53 +0000 2013)talekyn: @StevenGould Does your process differ from writing short stories to writing novels? Or from standalone novels to series? #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:24:02 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: .@StevenGould LOL Fair enough.

After all, Millie is not genetically related to Davy but learns. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:38:23 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: @andwhatsnext Yeah, worth asking. @stevengould may not answer… #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:38:32 +0000 2013)talekyn: @StevenGould I proofread the IMPULSE excerpt in @lightspeedmag last month & didn’t at first realize it was connected to JUMPER. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:38:33 +0000 2013)chippermuse: .@BryanThomasS It seems jumping happens under stress, but obviously not everyone jumps. What’s the unique factor? @StevenGould #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:39:07 +0000 2013)sffwrtcht: .@StevenGould Are you an outliner or a pantser? Did you follow the surprising ride or have it planned? #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:39:09 +0000 2013)StevenGould: .@phroghollow Perhaps later.

The $ is good. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:57:55 +0000 2013)Wyld_Dandelyon: @sffwrtcht I do love that question (best and worst advice), even if our guests sometimes contradict each other. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:58:02 +0000 2013)chippermuse: @StevenGould Does this mean Laura is a pantser too? (We’re fond of pantsers on this chat.) #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 02:58:11 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: In case any #sffwrtcht regs missed it, @jenniferbrozek and I are coediting a military fantasy anthology, SHATTERED SHIELDS, for @BaenBooks (Thu Feb 14 02:58:15 +0000 2013)

#sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:01:23 +0000 2013)StevenGould: .@sffwrtcht Worst writing advice? Oh, there’s so much. Was told not to get an agent by a very prominent writer in the field. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:01:37 +0000 2013)sffwrtcht: Last question: @StevenGould What future projects are you working on that we can look forward to? #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:01:49 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: Please `Like� our Facebook group: http://t.co/CeHCXuLJ #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:02:09 +0000 2013)sffwrtcht: Please `Like� our Facebook group: http://t.co/tFOTDqY6 #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:02:14 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: Future Guests 2/20 @lampwright4 2/27 @sarahahoyt 3/6 @Alayadj 3/13 @davidfarland 3/20 @cegannon1 3/27 Morgan Keyes #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:02:29 +0000 2013)StevenGould: On the bad advice, alcohol was definitely a factor AND they no longer drink so we’ll leave his name blank. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:02:29 +0000 2013)sffwrtcht: Future Guests 2/20 @lampwright4 2/27 @sarahahoyt 3/6 @Alayadj 3/13 @davidfarland 3/20 @cegannon1 3/27 Morgan Keyes #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:02:29 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: Next week, we talk #writing #scifi #urbanfantasy #shakespeare #prospero and more with @torbooks author @lampwright4 Join us live! #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:03:05 +0000 2013)sffwrtcht: Next week, we talk #writing #scifi #urbanfantasy #shakespeare #prospero and more with @torbooks author @lampwright4 Join us live! #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:03:05 +0000 2013)StevenGould: Nowadays, the “No Agent” advice would not necessarily be bad advice, depending. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:03:20 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: @StevenGould True enough. Although I admit to seeking an agent at the moment… #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:04:03 +0000 2013)Wyld_Dandelyon: @StevenGould Do you also have a “worst advice” on the craft of writing (as opposed to the process of getting published)? #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:04:58 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: RT @ITregillis: @stevengould You should know I’ve missed work this week thanks to Jumper, Reflex, *and* Impulse. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:05:39 +0000 2013)StevenGould: .@sffwrtcht Well, EXO for now. Hopefully sequel to 7th SIGMA after that. Have to see how well IMPULSE b4 shopping it. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:05:51 +0000 2013)ramsey_isler: @StevenGould “Shade” is also one of my favorite stories on that site; I’ve created a few new Gould fans through it #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:06:29 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: @StevenGould I hope it does very well. It deserves it. A great read, people. IMPULSE and you don’t need to read the others first. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:06:42 +0000 2013)sffwrtcht: IMPULSE is from @torbooks and good for both #ya and adult #scifi #fantasy readers. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:07:13 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: .@StevenGould Anything else you want to discuss before we go?

Great guy, talented writer. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:11:10 +0000 2013)StevenGould: .@BryanThomasS @jaleta_clegg It’s more a reaction to people whose entire creative outlet is talking about it. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:11:17 +0000 2013)StevenGould: Thanks very much for having me.

Frustrating. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:12:29 +0000 2013)Wyld_Dandelyon: @StevenGould I know a few people like that! The best ones at least tell the stories as spoken art. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:12:38 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: @Jaleta_Clegg @StevenGould The actual writing is the hard part. Dreaming/imagining is much easier… #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:13:09 +0000 2013)Wyld_Dandelyon: @BryanThomasS Submitting is hard too. *Reminding self I have tasks to do before bedtime.* #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:14:22 +0000 2013)Jaleta_Clegg: @BryanThomasS @StevenGould Making sense is the hard part of writing it for me. Dreams are easy, coherent plots not so much. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:14:30 +0000 2013)Jaleta_Clegg: @Wyld_Dandelyon Finishing is hard, so is editing. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:14:51 +0000 2013)Wyld_Dandelyon: @Jaleta_Clegg Yes! It’s just bragging, “I’ve got a great story in my head” that’s easy. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:16:01 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: OK #sffwrtcht ers, thanks for sharing my 44th b-day with me. My latest book is out: http://t.co/ZpbgazkQ Abe Lincoln Dino Hunter #scifi (Thu Feb 14 03:16:16 +0000 2013)Jaleta_Clegg: @Wyld_Dandelyon I’ve got hundreds of great stories in my head. But some suffer when held up to scrutiny of writing. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:16:32 +0000 2013)Wyld_Dandelyon: @BryanThomasS Any time! And happy happy! #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 14 03:17:04 +0000 2013)Jaleta_Clegg: @BryanThomasS Happy birthday.
