Point of View: Writing Serial Fiction

by
River City

About five months ago, I was at Rainbow Con, and attended a session with Alex Woolfson and Adam DeKraker of “The Young Protectors” fame. The Young Guardians, for those who aren’t familiar with it, is an LGBT superheroes comic. Alex and Adam put together a new page once a week and post it for free on Alex’s site: http://webcomics.yaoi911.com/typ/ete_title_page/ It’s a great concept – you get to read the whole thing for free, and then you get hooked and want a copy for yourself, which they will happily supply. It got me thinking. I had just launched my own blog, … Read more

More Stops on the Blog Tour

by
Bayou Book Junkie

Hey all, The “Travels Through the Scarlet Equinox” Blog Tour rolls on… The Bayou Book Junkie featured a great guest post from Freddy: The hardest part for me as an author is finishing the story. Not because I don’t want to. Life interferes more often than I wish it would, but it also has to do with me as a writer. The best thing you can do for yourself as an author? Finish the damn story. It puts me in quite a conundrum then. I know what I need to do for my stories. I have plot points I know … Read more

Point Of View: Getting Into My Writing Groove

by
Write Like the Wind

Every author has things they do to help them write and be more creative. Some of these are superstitions – like not changing their socks or underwear until a project is finished (and yes, that is disgusting). Others are habits – things they do on a regular basis to ensure they have time to get their writing done, like setting a particular time of day. Or waking up like a vampire in the dead of night. Some prefer rewards for writing – a chocolate covered Oreo for completing a scene, perhaps, or a trip to Krispy Kreme for a baker’s … Read more

Autumn Lands Gets a 4.5 Star Review

by
scatteredthoughtsandroguewords

Hey all, Another great review of “Travels Through the Scarlet Equinox” in general and “The Autumn Lands” in particular from Melanie Marshall: Jerrith is running. Kissed by an elf, he can’t remain in his hometown of Althos anymore. Not that he wanted to stay. Caspian still hasn’t figured out why he kissed Jerrith, but he’s running too. Since he was exiled from the Autumn Lands, his past has been hazy, and his future uncertain. But when a stray memory brings things into focus, the two decide to run toward something together. What they uncover will change how they see the … Read more

Point of View: The Last Day of NaNoWriMo

by
NaNo Scott

NaNoWriMo is almost over. It’s been 30 days of absolute writing madness, and I almost didn’t do it at all. I first heard about this epic writing event last year, and I knew absolutely nothing about what it was, or what it meant, other than the name. I thought you had to submit your work to a panel of judges somewhere who would chose the “winner”. I was nowhere near ready to face that kind of competition. Then I noticed that half of my writing friends were “winners”. And I finally figured out that “winning” NaNo was more about meeting … Read more
