What did you blog about today?

[ratsy]

Nice post Jo. Truly excited to read the book when it's out!

I'm finishing up my interview with Saturday Night Reader Magazine and should be posting it tomorrow!

 

[Juliana]

That was interesting, reading about the 75-worder that triggered the whole thing.

Suzanne Lucas, the founder and editor of Saturday Night Reader was nice enough to do an interview with me

SNR Interview

I honestly would suggest liking their FB page. It is quite enjoyable to get a 1000 word story 2-3 times a week for a quick read.

And I know there are a lot of great writers here who should submit to her

 

[Juliana]

Nice interview, @ratsy! And I'm with Suzanne; I'd go for Scoob and the gang too...

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Nice one, Ratsy.

Musing on some comments in the AH discussion thread, I wrote a guest blog for Melissa Snark. If you haven't looked at her blog, it's well worth delving into:

I've posted an article that Sue was kind enough to contribute as a guest blogger, about her process creating worlds for her novels:

[Susan Boulton]

Thanks Teresa, it was fun to do. I just hope it helps other writers from being chewed up by the create-a-world shark.

Also;

Alex Davis' blog has guest blog/interviews by myself and other Tickety Boo authors.

Nice, Sue. I mused on how we should approach receiving critiques and what we can or can't control:

I wonder what people I beta-read for would make of it if I included the jokes and swear words I have when I redraft my own stuff

Without wishing to sound like a condom salesman, thickness of skin is vital. Got to be able to take into account what others think, without having your confidence damaged if there's a lot to change.

In less serious news, I reviewed The Witcher 3. Short version = 9.5/10.

[Juliana]

Catching up on everyone's blog posts. Very nice, all.

 

[Juliana]

Double post, sorry about that!

I have a new blog post up today where I interview @Mouse and @Boneman on writing speculative romance.

[ratsy]

Great blog Juliana. That was a lot of fun. @Boneman I love how your favorite authors are 100% different than what your book is. I guess I understand because so is mine.

I love all the community support there's been lately around here. Kudos to the gang!

 

[millymollymo]

Even though it's months away: A not so pocket guide to attending Nine Worlds. (in two parts) http://www.millymollymo.com/a_not_so_pocket_guide_to_nine_worlds/

 

[Jo Zebedee]

I'm loving how active this board is at the moment. And great interview, Juliana et al (although I can't get used to our Boneman as Jo...)

Anyhow, I blogged about the Johari window and how I use it to frame character interactions:

[Juliana]

@Jo Zebedee very interesting blog post. That sounds like a cool character exercise. And thanks for the comment; yes, it's very hard to address Boneman as Jo.
@millymollymo Nine Worlds sounds fun! Shame it's all the way across the ocean...

 

[HareBrain]

the Johari window

That'd be a cool book title.

Interesting blog post too. It's the kind of thing that makes me think, "Ooh, I should do that", only to then think, "No, it'd probably reveal the gaping flaws devouring your book from within. Better not to know."

 

[millymollymo]

Tis a bit of a trek for you Juliana, and I am glad I am not the only one that had 'Boneman' identity issues

 

[thaddeus6th]

I ramble inanely about planned/spontaneous writing: http://thaddeusthesixth.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/planned-versus-spontaneous-writing.html

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

I've started posting some articles on my blog, wherein I plan to pontificate on various subjects related to writing. They include material I have posted 'round about here and there, including here on the Chronicles, as well as some of the advice I generously bestow on my clients. This first one http://teresaedgertoneditor.com/on-writing-1-books-should-not-be-written-by-committee/ is based on a portion of my infamous "17 Important Things," although with additions, subtractions, and revisions, which, I fancy, make my ideas on the subject somewhat more coherent. Or perhaps more bombastic. Who knows?
