“‘AS YOU KNOW, BOB…’: THE POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES OF INFODUMPS IN WRITING.” Most writing-about-writing does nothing for me, but I found this report (on a panel at a sci-fi convention) very helpful. Includes Teresa Nielsen Hayden!

I really needed this right now, by the way, since I’m struggling mightily with the midsection of “I Count Only Sunny Hours,” which is all exposition all the time, sigh. It would be easier if I hadn’t decided the story itself is stupid. Can’t wait to kill it off and move on to the next one, which will probably be about two people in a snowbound airport.
