Now is the time for some action. I decided awhile ago to focus on my Masters and leave getting published ’til later. I’m so close now I can smell that degree (still can’t believe it). It’s time to start working (harder) on getting my first novel published. I need to first get my story together….
I’ve gotten too comfortable with my writing. Need to do something about that. In a short story I wrote recently, my characters did a lot of chuckling, eye rolling and frowning. Nothing wrong with this, right? It is when they’re used out of pure laziness. I couldn’t think of another way to show annoyance or…
I know you’ve been waiting with batted breath to find out what happens to Contessa and Cezon and who is the child anyway. Will your questions be answered? You’ll have to read to find out. For a recap, read: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 *** Cezon shook his head. “You sound like your mother.”…
I just found out many people in other cities didn’t know thousands of peaceful protesters descended on Manhattan last Thursday for a Day of Action. This blows my mind. It was history in the making. Why wasn’t this on every news channel? Like I said in The “Day of Action,” I stalked Twitter that morning…
I stalked Day of Action on Twitter yesterday because I had to work and went straight to Foley Square afterward. I had no idea what to expect and was slightly nervous. Excitement overruled. A lot of people were there- a spectacular sight. The atmosphere was amazing-the chanting, the music, the speeches, the signs! I didn’t…
Becoming a successful published author is not just about writing a good book. It’s unfortunate but a beautifully written story will not sell itself. I’m sure you’ve heard this before though. You need to know the publishing industry and the genre you’re writing in. This is important now more than ever becasue technology is changing…
I wanted 300 in 3D. I didn’t get it. Immortals was as violent, probably more but that wasn’t the problem. 300 was pure awesomeness; Immortals was not. The movie had an interesting plot but it wasn’t developed. Hyperion was supposed to be this evil king but he was merely an annoying and disgusting human being….
My writing style has changed…again but I don’t mind. It’s not like I can do anything about it. Well, I can but my story would suffer. I’m really excited to see how this one turns out. Maybe a bit too excited. I need to keep telling myself just becasue I like the detail doesn’t mean…
“Authors take to Internet to create world’s first interactive book” I love it when authors use technology to find exciting ways to present content! Speaking of which, I recently came across this app called Byook. I had no idea what it was but I was in the mood for a good horror related app. It…
I read often the way to deal with rejection is to remember they’re rejecting the story not me. I understood that but my current short story got me thinking, for some reason. That sort of reasoning is far too practical. I’m going to file it under easier said than done. I might go as far…
