An interview with Jeff Szpirglas, author of over 20 books for all ages, including scary novels, short story collections, and “choose your own ending” adventures. Hear about his love of the horror genre, his interest in dramatic ironing and shifting points of view, and the inspiration for his scary stories. 20 minutes. All ages. A full transcript is available at CabinTales.ca. Show Notes [0:00] Intro [1:10] Interview with Jeff Szpirglas CA: You do write spooky stories. JS: I do. I mean, I love scary things. … And in terms of plotting, sometimes I go off on my own stream of consciousness. There's like different types of scary stories. The ones that I wrote late at night and feel like they were written late at night… I actually find there's something nice and almost jazzy about them. …   [1:50] CA: And then what about with a novel? do you know the ending when you begin? JS: …The first novel I did, it's called Evil Eye. It actually began as a short story that ended up in Tales from Beyond the Brain. … I didn't really know where it was going to end. The other one I published with the same publisher, Star-Crossed Press, was called Sheldon Unger versus the Dentures of Doom. It's about an ancient demon that … chews the teeth out of your mouth while you're sleeping. So it's pretty gruesome. … I'm attracted to a lot of body horror…You will notice that my answers are tangential and that is probably how I write a lot of my stories, that they start in one place and very quickly go someplace else. [4:10] CA: So you would not say to young writers that you have to know where you're going when you start out writing. JS: I don't. In a lot of the projects that I've been working on of late, I have struggled with knowing the ending and plotting everything out.   [4:25] CA: And do you have a favorite plot twist? JS: … I didn't know where Evil Eye was going to go. … It was nice when I thought a story that was really spiraling out of control turned itself around. …   [4:55] CA: And how do you feel about tormenting characters? JS: I seem to have had success with books when I have been tormenting characters. “Oh, it's really awful how you died in that ending of the story.” … You know, you can address a real tangible scary thing that could happen, but in a way that is unlikely to happen or is so ridiculous that it's a little safer. …   [6:20] CA: Do you ever write for adults? JS: I've done a couple of books about movie soundtracks that have just come out. … When I'm writing for young people, I'm still writing for me. My wife and I have collaborated on children's books for emerging readers in grade one and grade two. … But they're still coming from an authentic place…. And they feel authentic to me as they would if I had written for an adult.   [7:20] CA: And how do you typically begin your stories? Like, do you begin with setting the scene? or do you begin in the middle of an action? JS: …. I have a story called “Colonel takes Root” in Tales from Beyond the Brain. The first line is: There was definitely something stuck between Jamie's teeth. And it's literally about something stuck between your teeth taking over your body and your mind. This was a story that was written while my children, my twin children, were infants and I was getting zero sleep. …I can't replicate the feeling of that story without having more kids and not sleeping. …   [8:25] CA: And do you have a favorite POV to write from? JS: Yeah, you know, with horror, I think sometimes first person perspective. I remember Richard Matheson writing, saying something that he didn't invent a lot of characters; he just pretended that he was the character, and what would it be like for him to be in that situation. Because you can always be authentic to yourself. … I write a lot of stories from the perspective of a character, but maybe partway through the story, it shifts and it's somebody else's perspective… there's a perspective shift and a shift in what the reader knows or understands. And sometimes with the reader knows or understands might be more than what a character understands. And that provides suspense. … I find horror and comedy are so intertwined, you know, and what is scary to one character and what is innocuous and silly and funny to another character. There's this nice clash of expectations. And when something is far worse than what you expect, it's very scary. When it's far better than what you expect, it's comedy. But it's all about the subversion of expectations. And that is kind of what makes horror and comedy what they are, sometimes simultaneously…   [11:55] CA: Do you have any favorite scary books? JS: Yeah. You know, I love Richard Matheson. … Joe R Lansdale also is a great short horror story writer I really like. … I love Stephen King, Clive Barker, you know, those guys. These are not children's authors…. For children's writers, Roald Dahl. I think The Witches is far and away his best book. … another great children's horror writer is David Lubar. …. If I was a young writer wanting to explore the world of horror and you were done with Jeff Szpirglas, you can try David Lubar out. He's great…. People say like I want to be a writer. Well, just write. … how you spin that story is unique to each person.   [13:35] CA: And do you have a regular writing practice? … JS: I try to write when I can. I work around the clock as like a teacher and I'm a dad, and I carve out the writing time when I have a break. … I've been way more successful, you know in terms of publishing things, since having children.… It never stopped me. And in fact, you know, you just use the time that you have much more creatively. … I've always tried to write a little bit each day or every other day.   [15:10] CA: Do you keep a journal or a writer's notebook? JS: No, you know what I do? Sticky notes up on my wall. …And even ideas that I filed away can sometimes come back and be a worthwhile premise for a story.   [15:45] CA: And is there somewhere where you get your best ideas? Is it from movies or books or real life or your kids or your own childhood? JS: So, it's a good question. And I think everything you said is the answer…. When I write stories with my wife – we've done a bunch of early reader chapter books –we have one that's coming out in the spring and it's called Shark Bait. … That's a real life scenario. And we've done other stories where they're based on real things that happen in the classroom. I don't need to invent that. I know what a classroom looks like and feels like…. sometimes a horror story works best in the world of the familiar…. Some writers … can evoke eras and times that t don't exist in the real world. … That's not me. …I'm much better at stories that are set in the here and the now.   [17:35] CA: Do you have a favorite setting that you've used in your own books? JS: … Sometimes I'm writing and I'm thinking like it's a movie. …. I always have to remind myself to engage in other senses. Horror especially is very tactile, right? … Setting-wise, I grew up in Dundas, Ontario, the valley town outside of Hamilton. … That's the setting of Evil Eye… It's a distillation of the Hamilton of my youth…   [18:55] CA: Cool. And do you have any phobias or fears? JS: Oh, so many! …Like a middle-aged person, you know, aging. I'm afraid of heights. I'm afraid of really cramped spaces. Fear of failure. You know, lots of fears drive. I have a lot of anxieties. CA: And do you ever use that when you write fiction? JS: Yeah. I think horror is cathartic. Why do we want to watch terrible things happening to people? It does feel cathartic. … It doesn't hide your fears from you; it throws them in your face. It tries to get you to confront them, but in ways that might be more pleasurable than confronting them in a realistic way.   [19:40] CA: Do you have any recommendations to young writers for getting keeping or organizing their ideas? JS: I'm a big fan of sticky notes. … My best thinking is like on a walk….The thinking time and processing time… that's really important when you're writing. … Go for a long walk in the woods. … I don't want to get up and take the dog for a walk, but it actually forces me to like have that time outside. I think it's important….   [21:40] Jeff Szpirglas introduces himself JS: Hello listeners. This is Jeff Szpirglas. I write stories. Many of them are scary. Some of them are very silly. This is the voice in my head sometimes when I write. I've written a bunch of books. Many are for young people; some are for young at heart. But I've written about everything from brains and vomit to scary stories to movie soundtracks. Even an instructional video on parenting when I was a young lad of 23.   [22:25] Find out more about Jeff Szpirglas You can hear more creative writing advice from Jeff Szpirglas on Cabin Tales Episode 5.5, “Author Interviews about Tension,” on Episode 7, “Just Get it Over With,” about endings; and on Episode 8, “The Never-ending Story,” about revision.

The final fall episode of Cabin Tales is about the final stage of creative writing: revision. You'll hear 26 Canadian authors talk about their revision process, and their recommendations to young writers who want to improve their first draft. 45 minutes all ages. A transcript of this episode is available at CabinTales.ca. Show Notes [0:00] Intro [1:30] Commentary on Revision If you don't want other people to read your work, you don't have to revise it. But if you do want others to read it and enjoy it, and if you want someone to publish it, then you must revise.   [3:55] Author Interviews I asked my guest authors about their revision process, how much time they spend revising vs drafting and which process they prefer. [4:00] Monique Polak envies writers who love revising [5:07] Lori Weber separates drafting from revising [6:15] Karen Krossing uses her intuition [7:35] Caroline Pignat separates creation and evaluation [9:00] Kari-Lynn Winters tries to resist editing while drafting [10:20] Philippa Dowding does not edit while she drafts [11:20] Tim Wynne-Jones usually revises along the way [12:50] Amanda West Lewis discovers more with each revision   [14:40] Commentary on revising for young writers For kids,  it would be crazy and boring to revise 20 times. Focus on the joy of creating, the passion of storytelling, the fun of it. But do try to revise at least once.   [16:00] Interviews on revising while young [16:00] Cary Fagan on the chore of revising while young [17:15] Sarah Raughley on taking your time while young   [18:45] Commentary on how to revise One of the first steps in revision is evaluating your work.   [19:15] Revision Recommendations One good practice in revision is to simply cut the word count by 10%.  [19:45] Jan Coates reads aloud and uses a thesaurus [20:45] Jeff Szpirglas saves his drafts to combine and revise [21:45] Rachel Eugster is looking for ways to lessen revision [22:25] Robin Stevenson has learned to revise wisely [24:00] Ishta Mercurio starts revisions with a blank page [24:50] Wendy McLeod MacKnight drafts very quickly [26:05] Amelinda Bérubé finds the drafting a slog   [28:15] Commentary on getting help with revision If you're ready, get feedback from a reader – your friend, other writers, your parents, your English teacher. All of the above. But don't let critiquing crush your creativity.             [29:55] Interviews about critiques [30:00] David McArthur encourages critiques [30:55] Lena Coakley spent 10 years on her first great book [31:45] Raquel Rivera revises with help from friends and editors [32:55] Marty Chan advises critique group [35:00] Lisa Dalrymple offers critiquing advice [36:10] Don Cummer is grateful for critique groups [37:20] Frieda Wishinsky says critiquing is a life skill [38:50] Kate Inglis likes the support of other writers [40:05] Karen Bass has learned to put story over ego   [42:05] Caveats  Creativity is always a good thing, even if your latest creation is not awesome. Maybe you can make it awesome with one more revision.   [43:40] Thanks and coming up on the podcast I'll be sharing my full interviews with all the Cabin Tales guest authors this winter, beginning on January 8th and continuing every Friday through the 2021 school year.  If you were hoping for a final story, I will be doing a national public reading  in January featuring an original Cabin Tale with multiple endings. More info in January. If you are a youth in Ottawa, the Ottawa Public Library's Awesome Authors Youth Writing Contest is on. I am a judge of fiction in the 9-12 age category and I want to read your story. But please don't make me read your first draft.  Have a creative December and a wonderful holiday break.

A “telling tales” format with guest authors Marty Chan, Jeff Szpirglas, and Frieda Wishinsky. Featuring an original story with an ambiguous ending; a famous twist from Ambrose Bierce; gorgeous last lines and satisfying summations; and a story prompt about a deus ex machina. PG. 50 minutes. A full episode transcript and a Fright-free version (with the creepy story removed) is available at CabinTales.ca. Show Notes [1:15] Story Intro Have you ever met someone who seemed the total opposite of the rest of their family? Listen to this story about a tender-hearted boy whose parents love to hunt. [1:40] Trigger warning: Violence against rodents. To share the podcast with very young listeners, find “fright-free” episodes on CabinTales.ca. [2:30] Story: “Chewing, Chewing, Chewing” When Gabriel's parents told him they'd rented a cabin in the woods, he didn't want to go….   [14:00] Commentary on Ambiguous Endings [15:00] Copy the Technique: Ambiguous Endings   [16:00] Excerpt from “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" by Ambrose Bierce Before there was M. Knight Shyamalan, there was Ambrose Bierce, whose short story, “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," was like the “Sixth Sense” of 1890. [18:30] Copy the Technique: Twist End your story in a way that changes everything that came before.   [19:15] Excerpt from A Dog's Life by Ann M. Martin You will often hear the advice that the ending of a story should echo the beginning. The novel A Dog's Life by Ann M. Martin begins and ends with a dog by the fire with her owner. In between the bookended scenes, we learn the life story that led here. [20:30] Copy the technique: Echo the Beginning Go back to the beginning of your story and find something to echo in your ending.   [21:45] Excerpt from Charlotte's Web by E.B.White Another tried-and-true way to make a satisfying ending is to sum things up. Charlotte's Web has a poignant ending that acknowledges but softens the sadness of Wilbur's journey and Charlotte's death. [23:30] Copy the technique: Sum Things Up Acknowledge that the lives of your characters go on. End your story by telling us a tiny bit about the future, the whole span of your character's life, in a very brief summing up.   Gorgeous Last Lines: [24:05] Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte [24:30] The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald [24:50] Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson [25:50] Copy the technique: A gorgeous last line Write a last line that is musical and beautiful and moves the reader by what it means and how it resonates with the whole story and by how it sounds.   [26:05] Interviews [26:40] Jeff Szpirglas on discovering the ending [28:10] Marty Chan on ending each book in a series [30:50] Frieda Wishinsky on endings mirroring the beginning   [32:30] Interviews about sad endings [33:05] Frieda Wishinsky on keeping hope alive [35:15] Marty Chan on being true to the character [36:45] Jeff Szpirglas on softening the horror with humour   [39:00] Advice for young writers on how to end a story [39:10] Jeff Szpirglas on enjoying the discovery [40:25] Frieda Wishinsky on outlining the story [41:50] Marty Chan on telling your story out loud   [43:10] Story Prompt: “Not Dead Yet” Life sometimes sends you a lifesaver.   [48:10] Thanks and coming up on the podcast If you need more help ending your stories, tune in next week for Episode 7.5 of Cabin Tales, to hear guest authors Lena Coakley, Lisa Dalrymple, Karen Bass, Ishta Mercurio, and Tim Wynne-Jones share their advice.   [48:50] Scary Movie Quote “That's all there is.

Late night tales from beyond the Galactic Coffee Shop, stories of the clones that are lost in the void, and their encounters with the stuff of nightmares. This week – “One Passenger Waiting” In this tale, a clone discovers and explores an abandoned ruin of an alien space station. It quickly becomes evident that something truly horrific has happened here, and it also becomes apparent that at least one of its previous inhabitants may still be waiting for a ship to take it off the station. Sometimes, the ghosts are real, and there really are things waiting in the dark! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/galactic-coffee-shop/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/galactic-coffee-shop/support

Late night tales from beyond the Galactic Coffee Shop, stories of the clones that are lost in the void, and their encounters with the stuff of nightmares. In this episode, a clone named Sear has terrible dreams every time he sleeps, but has no time to think about these nightmares that are so vivid they seem like memories, for they have just discovered an object nearby in space that he is tasked with exploring. Sometimes, nightmares are from the things hiding in the dark places, but sometimes your very existence is far more frightening than any creature in the dark! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/galactic-coffee-shop/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/galactic-coffee-shop/support
