What did you blog about today?

[Juliana]

Teresa, I really liked your blog post. It was a nice, brisk, teeth-rattling gust of wind.

Mad Max: Fury Road's been bothering me for a while now. http://www.millymollymo.com/lost-on-fury-road/

The brilliant Stephen Palmer guest blogged for me today on how he uses language. It certainly made me wonder if I should be braver...

I tend to agree with Stephen. Words, language shapes the story, it adds an additional character and depth to a piece, especially if your working from a close third/first person view point. When done well (as in not in an attempt to be clever) it doesn't jar a reader, it just flows. I've seen some use words like sprinkles to top an ice-cream. That way...? nah.

My latest blog post is a review of Beautiful Intelligence, by our own Stephen Palmer, but since I also posted it in the Reviews section here, I'm linking to that instead:

Mad Max: Fury Road's been bothering me for a while now. http://www.millymollymo.com/lost-on-fury-road/

Yep, the hype was incredible. So much so that it made the movie that more disappointing. Tom Hardy's considerable talent was wasted in this mish mash of an alternative Max movie. I'm, sadly, oh so sadly, with you on this one Milly. RIP Max.

Ooh, fancy new home in SFF lounge. Guess how often I'm going to forget and click on Jo's board looking for this...

Anyway, my summer reading roundup, over here. Quick mention of @Stephen Palmer and @Alex Davis on my to-read list.

How exciting to be in an anthology with such important writers. Well done, and congratulations!

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Nice one, Ratsy!

I blogged about genre definitions and why, for me, stories are all about the people:

[Juliana]

Nice one, Jo. I enjoyed that!

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

Very nice post, Jo.

On by blog today I posted a review of Atlantia, by Ally Condie http://teresaedgertoneditor.com/what-im-reading-mid-july/

 

[Jo Zebedee]

I had the chance to interview Amazon bestseller PP Corcoran. It's a fantastic interview, looking at the self publishing
market with great advice for any writer. His Saiph Series is a must look at for anyone into military sci fi
