Monday spotlight: Frameshift structural analysis
Just finished a wonderful weekend in Calgary, attending the Spring 2006 Write-Off weekend organized by Danita Maslan for the Imaginative Fiction Writers' Association (IFWA). I knew it was going to be a great trip, 'cause I got recognized by the staff in the bookstore at Toronto's Pearson International Airport, and asked to sign stock, which I happily did.
This morning, I was driven to the Calgary airport by writer Barb Geiger, and noted that she is currently reading my Seiun Award-winning and Hugo Award-nominated Frameshift. And so, for today's Monday Spotlight, highlighting one of the 500+ articles on my website at sfwriter.com I offer this: A Structural Analysis of Frameshift. (Note that this document contains spoilers -- if you haven't yet read Frameshift, you might want to hold off reading this.)

Great stuff, very interesting to see how the plot was structured after reading this one recently. Usually on the first read I get carried away by the plotline, so I don't consider things like this too much. Thanks for writing about the process of writing. Very informative. Tom
Thanks for posting this.
I was wondering Robert, do you ever listen to Coast to Coast? I listen a lot and some of the topics they cover make great content for SF stories. I think you'd be a great fit for one of their guests.

No, I don't, Jim. What is "Coast to Coast"? NPR? (We don't get that in Canada, although I can listen on the web.)
Coast to Coast is a very popular talk radio show with some 500+ stations. You might know it as the Art Bell show but here's a link.

Coast am is is hosted by George Noory these days and even though they get some conspiracy type shows they also have some great science and tehcnology topics and some great guests. Ray Bradbury has been on the show among other well known SF authors. The show is an interview type AM format and followed by a caller screened second half of the program. It runs here in Edmonton on the Coors radio network, 1am-5am because they broadcast the show Pacific time zone.

Ah, yes. I have heard of the Art Bell show. I'll make sure they're on my press-release list. Thanks, Jim!
cont'
as much as possible. One night they could be talking about Spirit guides and the next about Space exploration to secret societies and even nano technology. "Open lines" is a Friday night free for all. It's pretty good and I draw a lot of writing inspiration from the show. I think you'd be a great guest on his show.
