Stephen Leacock – Canadian novelist and humourist. Renowned for his humour Stephen Leacock had a summer home in Orillia which is now the Leacock Museum A few years back (um, probably closer to 10) a local committee got together and raised funds to reconstruct the original boathouse on the property (the home was built in 1928ish). The Leacock Home (museum), as well as hosting museum tours, is a local favourite for weddings because the grounds are beautifully landscaped and planted. The Leacock foundation also awards a medal for humour yearly to many hopeful entrants – some of the past winners have been native Orillians, but not all of them – most of them are Canadians. This image of the boathouse was taken during the summer of 2007 from our boat. © Reg. No. C36-EI3T-6062

Sci Fi Master Class

Keeper of Dreams / / By Orson Scott Card / / Excerpted from the forward in Keeper of Dreams / / What’s the inducement for an established writer to return to the short / story market? While it’s true that short stories require less typing / than novels, they don’t take much less in the way of development. That / is, to get any story ready to be written, to bring it to ripeness, takes / about as much time and effort no matter how long the finished work / turns out to be. / / So why would I devote any time to writing short stories, for a few / hundred or, sometimes, a few thousand dollars, when I can get many times / more if I turn that idea into a book? / / Believe me, that’s not a rhetorical question. Sometimes, when I’m late / on a book deadline which will actually pay the bills, and I stop to / write a short story that I promised to an anthology editor, my wife looks / at me and says (only more nicely), ‘What were you thinking?’ / / Good question. / / How does a serious novelist end up with more than 200,000 words of / short stories, novelettes, and novellas? / / One answer is: I get invited to take part in some really cool / anthologies. Robert Silverberg tells me about a series of big-name-only science / fiction and fantasy anthologies he’s editing, and invites me to / contribute a story to the sci-fi volume. Sure, I say - are you kidding? He’s / not just a friend, he’s a legend in the field, and it’s going to be a / great book. / / Or a total stranger says, We’re doing an anthology of stories about the / Vietnam War, and I say, I didn’t fight in that war, and I didn’t fight / against it, I don’t see what I could contribute … but then my mind / starts ticking over the problem and I realize there is a story for / somebody like me to write and so I write it. / / Or they’re putting together a book for the World Fantasy Convention / just at the time that I’m developing this cool concept of the source of / all the stories of the Flood, and so instead of waiting till I’m ready to / write the novel, I write a very long story that gets it down on paper. / It’s a trial run. I’m still going to write the novel … someday. / / Or I go to another country and see a plaza that is so fascinating I / have to set a story there, and just at that moment I’m reading a / fascinating book about elephants, and those two things come together and I have / to write the story. / / Or Christmas is coming, and on a lark I decide to whip out a whimsical / little Christmas story. / / So it comes to four things driving this novelist, at least, to write / short stories: / / 1. The irresistible anthology. / 2. Stories for a particular occasion. / 3. The big idea that has to get down on paper so I might as well try it / out as a short story first and see if it’s good enough to grow into a / book. / 4. The jewel of an idea that is fully formed and simply has to exist as / a short story, even if it doesn’t make me any money. / / I appreciate your being willing to look at my shorter pieces, and I / hope you find them worth the time you devote to them. / / But I hope you’ll also remember that there are new writers out there, / trying to be part of the conversation. Look for magazines - online or / in print - and anthologies and collections. Give them a try. I can / promise you that now and then - more often than you might suppose— / you’ll find something and somebody wonderful. / / Because if sci-fi is to survive as a genre, it won’t be because readers / stick to books with familiar names on the cover. I grew up in the era / when the great triumvirate of Heinlein, Asimov, and Clarke ruled the / field. But they aren’t producing much any more. If there is no new / generation to take their place, then the genre becomes a part of literary / history, no longer able to produce great new work. And if a new generation / is to take flight, it will fledge in the nest of short fiction. / / Orson Scott Cards’ Keeper of Dreams / (0-7653-0497-X; $27.95 / $30.95 CAN) was released by Tor in April.
