Joe DeRouen, Author of the Small Things trilogy. Joe DeRouen's author blog. Saturday, September 09, 2006. Confessions of an Un/Published Writer. And, yes, it's frustrating. I have two and a half novels under my belt, and I know I'm good, but getting an agent to even look at the thing let alone consider representing you seems tantamount to winning the U.S. Open without a tennis racquet. But yet I persevere. Posted by Joe @ 10:38 PM. Rogers, Arkansas, United States. View my complete profile.

Joe DeRouen, Author of the Small Things trilogy. Joe DeRouen's author blog. Monday, September 11, 2006. Are Writing Source Books Really Helpful? Are writing source books really helpful? Other than making the writer of said source material money, I'm not so sure. In my experience, few are worth the price, but a couple do stand out for me:. Writer's Guide to Places. By Don Prues and Jack Heffron, has proven to be invaluable to me as a writer. Sure, some will argue, it doesn't cover every. My Kindle and Me.

Joe DeRouen, Author of the Small Things trilogy. Joe DeRouen's author blog. Tuesday, October 03, 2006. You can go home again, but just for a while. I went to the Carthage, Illinois (population: 3,000) school system from Kindergarten through 11th, then moved to Dallas, Texas for my 12th. As you can imagine, I never really bonded with the kids in 12th, so always considered Carthage my school. Even though I hated it. (More on that later.). To take the eight-hour drive. And I'm glad I did! But, more than tha...

Joe DeRouen, Author of the Small Things trilogy. Joe DeRouen's author blog. Monday, November 06, 2006. I'm sorry for not posting to this for so long. Both my wife and I have been down with a killer cold for the last two weeks - and then there's Nano. I've participated in NanoWrimo. Every year since 2003, and have reached the requisite 50k every time. It's going to be hard to do it this year, though I'm going to do my best to prevail. I'll write more later when I'm feeling a bit better. My Kindle and Me.

Joe DeRouen, Author of the Small Things trilogy. Joe DeRouen's author blog. Sunday, December 31, 2006. It's been way too long since I've updated this blog, and I'm sorry about that. If I made New Year's resolutions, I'd resolve to do better in 2007 - but since I don't, I'll just have to make a concerted effort to actually write in this thing more than once a month! So how is everyone out there doing? Do I even still have any readers left? Posted by Joe @ 9:57 PM. Rogers, Arkansas, United States.

Joe DeRouen, Author of the Small Things trilogy. Joe DeRouen's author blog. Thursday, October 12, 2006. Trying to sell you their "editing services," and those are the agents I have absolutely no respect for. Proud of it. But that's not enough. I want to sell the damned thing, and its sequels. And, in order to do that, I need an agent. The book, and who can hopefully see the potential in not only the novel but in me as well. I'm willing to work hard to make them and the publishing house they sell my n...

And here are my answers:. I'm the owner and webmaster of the Official Chris de Burgh (think "Lady in Red") website. That's not weird in itself, but most people in the US have no clue who he is. I collect action figure from the 1970's, and probably have more toys than my five-year-old son does. I'm double-join...

Joe DeRouen, Author of the Small Things trilogy. Joe DeRouen's author blog. Monday, September 24, 2007. What have I been up to? I haven't updated this blog in a long time - and the longer I put it off, the harder it is to start writing again. (Funny how that works! But I've been working on finishing and editing last year's Nano effort, and trying to decide if I'm even going to participate this year. If I don't, it'll be the first time in four years since I haven't, and so I probably will, but. Buy from A...

Joe DeRouen, Author of the Small Things trilogy. Joe DeRouen's author blog. Friday, August 01, 2008. Frustration and Comic Con. So it's been nearly a year since I've posted to this blog. I've been frustrated by my inability to sell my novels, and that frustration has taken a toll on my writing. Sad, but true. I've got to start doing better. But we had a really good time nevertheless. Spent way too much money, but, hey, it's a vacation, and that's what you do on vacations, right? Posted by Joe @ 10:36 AM.

Joe DeRouen, Author of the Small Things trilogy. Joe DeRouen's author blog. Friday, September 22, 2006. The Language We Use. My wife bought a new comforter for our bed. When my four-year-old son Fletcher saw the new comforter, he asked what happened to the old one. We told him it had a rip in it and that we didn't need it anymore. He was still curious what we'd done with it. The conversation went something like this:. Where's the old comforter with the rip? So other people can have it.". Who will have it?
