What did you blog about today?

[Jo Zebedee]

I'm impressed that the team of people you have writing blog posts under your name manage such a consistent style. You clearly have them well trained.

Hard work... Actually I'm cloning myself. Tis the only answer...

 

[Jo Zebedee]

I ranted today. Because I hate being told what to look at and what to do, and like to choose for myself.

Sorry. After my derailment yesterday, I posted my weekly one. It wasn't the one I was planning - I have some stuff to finish musing on - but instead, I talked about what my world was and why anyone might want to read it:

[Jo Zebedee]

Um, is no one else blogging these days?

Anyway, I looked at darkness in my work, since you all got me thinking about it, and what it's there to achieve:

Is that the right link, Springs?

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Is that the right link, Springs?

Probably not, knowing me...

Does it work now?

 

[thaddeus6th]

Aye (although -1 timing for posting this moments after I RTed the previous article ).

I know what you mean on things sometime coming across differently to readers. I've had the same writing described as YA violence and pretty damned dark [or words to that effect]. My compass for judging 'adultness' is utterly skew-whiff.

I blogged about the writer's conference I attended last weekend...

I love it @Juliana It's really cool to hear about your adventures out there!

I was interviewed! And from someone outside of the Chrons...and they asked me! What is happening????

[Teresa Edgerton]

Excellent report, Juliana. And an impressive interview, ratsy. I don't read much horror ... well, practically no modern horror at all ... but the interview tempts me to read some of yours.

 

[ratsy]

Thanks Teresa. My stuff is light horror...I try to go for more creepy than anything else. I don't do gore

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Nice interview.

I've betaed some of your horror. Twilight Zone-ish, I'd say.

 

[Juliana]

Twilight Zone-ish, I'd say.

Agreed!

 

[Juliana]

And speaking of @ratsy and interviews, he kindly let me interview him on the subject of short story writing: http://jspinkmills.com/2015/05/04/spotlight-on-short-story-writing-with-nathan-hystad/

 

[ratsy]

Thanks for the interview Juliana. I really liked you questions. They actually made me think about short stories a little more clearly which is cool. I'm glad to have been your first Author Spotlight! I look forward to returning the favor

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Nice.... Ooh, author spotlight. Very swish....

I blogged about what worked for me at Comic con and what didn't

http://jozebwrites.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/being-conned.html

 

[Juliana]

Very nice breakdown, Jo.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

An intriguing interview about your writing and your writing process, ratsy, and plenty of information and encouragement for new writers. You and Juliana both did a great job.

Jo, your blog post about the convention contains excellent advice for anyone doing a book-signing anywhere.

Been a little while since my last post. Today's was a ramble (shockingly) about unusual alternatives to kings as supreme leaders [some are familiar, others perhaps not]:

Just a quick blab about story ideas from travelling
