Friday Night Round-up

So, I had hoped to post another in my series on Making Money Online tonight, but that isn’t going to happen. Why? Because I am tired. Lame as that sounds, it is true. I’m too tired to think tonight. The truth of the matter is that I am currently writing three, count ’em, three books. […]

Make Money Writing Online, Two–Freelancing: The Reality

We’re talking about freelance writing in this Ebook I am writing, and specifically internet freelance writing. In chapter one (it feels a bit presumptuous to title a post a chapter, but forgive me, I’m a fiction writer at heart) we discussed the dream of freelance writing. So now it is time to take a cold, […]

So, I really am working on the next installment of the Make Money Writing Online book, I promise. I was actually going to post it tonight. But then something better came up. Jenn, over at Before I Am Famous, (and she will be) has this great thing she does. You provide her with a name […]

What do you do if you are in the middle of writing your novel or short story and your brain needs some prodding? How do you go about trying to expand a scene? Say, for instance your writing teacher or your critique group has said, "more" or "go deeper" or "explain?" on your manuscript but […]

Self Publishing Redux

I had a brilliant post on the subject of self publishing half finished when my computer burped (its been doing that a lot lately, as it is Mercury Retrograde–back up your computers!) and I lost it. The two posts I did this week on writing and self publishing garnered lots of comments, and not the […]

Writing and Self-Publishing

Well, you know what they say, great minds think alike. Today my writing colleague Anne Waymans sent out her newsletter, and guess what the topic was? Yup, self-publishing in general and I-Universe in particular. Read it here.

Should Writers Self Publish?

So, Roy and Cathy and I have been emailing about self-publishing. Well, really Roy and I have, since we seem to be the most loud-mouthed and vociferous in our opinions. (Shocking, I know.) The impetus (or inciting incident, if you want to use fiction terminology) for this discussion was Roy and Cathy’s visit to the […]

Make Money Writing Online

Did that title get your attention? I thought it might. Anything that says "make money" nabs me. And, it seems that everyone and his or her uncle is currently writing blogs and websites about making money online.

Another Character Arc Post, Sort Of

So, I had plans to write another post on redemptive character arcs tonight. I planned to write about Jenna Bush, who has a new book out about a young woman with AIDS. It seemed to me that Jenna’s story told a classic redemptive tale. It is always instructive for writers to study stories like this, […]
