Self-Publishing Success
Tuesday, February 21, 2012
Tweet Last week I talked about what a successful self-published author I’ve become. I followed that up with a description of the strange stumbling block I’ve placed in my own path. I suspect some of you would be a lot more interested in knowing how I found that success in the first place. That’s not […]
The Agents
Tuesday, February 14, 2012
Tweet I’m a hot commodity these days. No, really. Little ol’ me. You already know my books are selling well, but it gets bigger than that. Piper Back in January I received an email out of the blue. It came via the contact form here, and showed up in my Gmail. After some minor pleasantries, […]
How to Write a Business Letter to Your Boss
Wednesday, February 8, 2012
Tweet This site started out as a writing advice blog, and in the earliest days I spent as much time offering Technical Writing advice as I did talking about storytelling. It’s been long enough now that I suspect I’ve mostly lost the crowd that came around for tips on good professional writing, but today I […]
Honors, Accolades, and Interviews
Thursday, November 10, 2011
Tweet I spent Tuesday telling you what you already know (about me, about my books, and about my publishing company). I figured maybe I should make up for that by spending today sharing some news. You might’ve already gotten a hint at some of it if you follow me on Twitter. This morning I posted: […]
What I Learned About Writing This Week…from Dreams, Redux
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
I’ve had another confirmation that all of my conclusions about my dreams are true.
Sex and Violence
Thursday, September 15, 2011
Tweet I started the week talking about my short story class, and some of the challenges that come with providing feedback to our peers. The worst of it was talking about a sex scene buried in one of the many stories we’ve read so far. And, mostly, it was a whole lot of worrying over […]
Writing in the Mirror
Thursday, September 1, 2011
Tweet I started the week with fond remembrances of cliff-diving without the water. And I started that post with a link back to other stories from my childhood, exploring the far forested acres of my parents’ farm. I blamed the recent nostalgia on my childhood buddy Josh, for mentioning some of those stories on Facebook, […]
A Works-in-Progress Update
Wednesday, August 31, 2011
Tweet WHAT?! NO WILAWriTWE?!? That’s right, my dear inklings. Today, I shall give you a work(s)-in-progress update, which, if my calculations search functions are correct, I have not done since February. Fortunately for us all, a WsIP update also qualifies as a WILAWriTWe, because part of learning about writing includes all the doings of The […]
What I Learned About Writing This Week…from My Writer’s Tribe, Redux
Wednesday, August 24, 2011
Two days ago, seven Consortium writers gathered in Aaron’s living room to roundtable edit each other’s short story submissions for the upcoming Consortium Worlds, Vol. 1 e-zine. I probably don’t have to tell you how apprehensive I was, going into that meeting…
