What did you blog about today?

For some reason, Jo, that title made me think of Will Smith's 'Getting Jiggy With It'.

Aye, it's difficult to keep going, just because of the numbers. Fortunately, I'm blessed with an obnoxious level of stubbornness.

Anyway, in my ruthless drive to interrogate Chrons one person at a time, I collared someone else today. Behold the merciless questioning: Thaddeus the Sixth: Interview with Teresa Edgerton

Nice 1.

Oddly enough, Jo's article reminded me of Teresa. I've read her post stickied at the top of the Writers Forum a few times and the thing that's always stuck with me is "Most authors give up too soon". Its a nice pickmeup when things seem a little rough in a way.

*clicks on the interview*

Teresa was in my mind when I wrote it, I've always taken a lot of store by the idea if we keep plugging we might win. We might still lose, but at least we'll have tried. :)
 
As someone well behind Jo in terms of writing experience and word count, it was a great blog. It is all a lot of work. And as a new publisher, the other half of it is a lot of work! I received betas back on my first novel, and have started two others, doing a different NaNo project than my series. I was super happy to even finish writing a novel, and one that the readers actually thought flowed well, and one was kind enough to say at one point they forgot they were supposed to be beta'ing it as they got caught up in the action. I still have tonnes of work on that first book, but its all a process. Not something to be rushed to market.

Good stuff Jo! And I'll always be a big fan ;)

Good interview with Teresa, Thadd! I always like to her the Goblin Princess' thoughts on things
 
Support is what keeps us all going. I'm actually planning another blog about the whole writers and readers things and how many great mates I've made (and continue to) through writing and connecting on social media and forums, and how I think it's one of the great things about genre. But first, I have 1000 words to add to a wip. :)

Eight books? :)

You just haven't seen them all yet. ;) (I have Waters and the Wild coming out next summer, so that's number five, no 6 being turned into a sf novella (I think it's stronger as a tight, tight story) as we speak with plans to sp at some stage, and a YA sf that I'm starting to look for a home for. ;)) Number 8 is underway. :)
 
8 seems like a fair number. At the end of the day, all you can do is keep going as best you can, really.

I would absolutely watch a Cas/Crowley team-up. But I'd think more one-off mini-series than full series... They're both fabulous characters, but I don't know if they could hold a full show as the main characters.

A rare instance of using a little bit of psychology in today's blog.

That was really interesting, Thad! I like your banners. :)
 
Thadd, I liked the post. Good stuff. Hey if you ever get into FB advertising keep in mind, the more wordage on the banner, the less reach they will give it. They have some rule about picture to text ratio. So just a tagline, or something with the image is ideal.
 
Hey Ratsy, that's an interesting snippet to know.

Incidentally, I heard the other day that the Trump campaign ran thousands of variant ads with tiny changes (video or still, lots of text or not much) on Facebook because it increased the chances of one variant being picked up for any given user. Obviously that costs a fortune, but it's something, on a smaller scale, to consider.

I don't get to use psychology much beyond character basics. If I haven't already, I might write something about primacy and recency effects.

Edited extra bit: thanks, Juliana :)

As I mentioned on the blog, I don't know for the life of me why the CW has refused to flesh out this universe more. We don't need Jared and Jensen all the time. Right? I mean I love those guys as much as any fan, but in this age of franchising, the CW is really going to drop the ball here if they don't get some type of successful spin-off going and soon. I would also watch a show about Charlie or the Men of Letters or a prequel starring Robert Singer. There's just too much there to just let it go. But yea, they can start with your mini-series idea.
