What did you blog about today?

[Biskit]

I'm back to sheep again, unscrewing a ram from a fence after he took a A Jump To The Left.

On the noble art of sitting down on your butt and doing some writing:

On motivation

On the noble art of sitting down on your butt and doing some writing:

Ha! Was needing this nudge. Writing's been very slow lately.......... (partly because I know I have to make some big changes in my wip before I can move forward, and have been procrastinating)

On my blog, and interview with @Kerrybuchanan on writing about horses - was originally in my newsletter, and now I'm reposting to my blog.

Compared certain things of today with divisions in the past, which were a bit worse:
Thaddeus the Sixth: Divisions in history

Now I come to think of it, I could've mentioned the religious to-ing and fro-ing of the Tudors. Humbug.

Been busy. In the last couple of days, I've added reviews of Compelling Science Fiction and Flash Fiction Online. Today, I also added a note on future plans for the blog and a list of professional magazines which also serves to describe what the blog covers and will cover.

An interview with MD Presley

 

[Juliana]

I wrote a guest post for Latinxs in Kid Lit, on being both British and Brazilian, and why that led to a love of SF/F.
Down the Rabbit Hole: a Brazilian-Brit in the USA

I was also interviewed by YA author Kim Briggs - bonus sword video (no, I'm not in it!).

Words to That Effect: Successful Books That You Think Are Rubbish

I like books that I think are rubbish as an aspiring author. If they can do it, clearly anyone can.

Its when I view them as a fan, and other fans are holding them up as the pinnacle, that I feel particularly bemused.

Some really good points, Toby!

Added a blog post: The challenges of writing a first draft

Instead of a recommended reading list, I posted a "virtual anthology."

A great guest post from Juliana: With All Your Heart – by Juliana Spink Mills – Suzanne Jackson

 

[J-Sun]

Posted the fantasy version of the SF "virtual anthology" I posted yesterday.

Web's Best Fantasy #1 (2017 Stories)

I don't know what the nature of the response is to the SF post, but the volume is certainly larger than I usually get. Wordpress even notified me of a traffic spike, which I didn't even know it did.
