PROJECT MAYHEM: August 2015

The Manic Minds of Middle Grade Writers. Thursday, August 27, 2015. One of the best ways to promote an MG novel is through a school visit. This gives you direct access to your target audience. Let’s face it, unlike their older siblings, most 9-12 years olds don’t spend all day on the internet blogging. Personally I think this is a blessing. Thank god they still want to build a tree fort. However, it does create adversity for writers who are trying to reach out directly to younger kids. To her credit, she...

PROJECT MAYHEM: May 2015

The Manic Minds of Middle Grade Writers. Friday, May 29, 2015. GUEST: Harrison Demchick, Editor Etc. The Godzilla Effect: How Climaxes, Twists, and Turning Points Work (and How They Don’t). For all the novelists out there struggling to work out that brilliant, unforgettable climax, here’s an idea: Why not just use Godzilla? Think about it. You want your climax to be exciting and surprising, right? So why doesn’t every author just toss Godzilla into the climax of every book? And that’s not just a ma...

Tough, leathery greens, stiff stalks, essence of bitter seaweed, are you sure this is good for me? According to my Whole Foods grocery sack, kale and collards score 1,000, the highest nutritional value you can get from a single food. I don’t normally take health advice from a paper bag, but it is a rather impressive number. My only question was, how could I make it taste good? Sautee for ...

The Manic Minds of Middle Grade Writers. Wednesday, February 22, 2012. A couple of years ago I took up running- and discovered that I loved it! Now I could run in the comfort of my own home at any time of day or night no matter what the weather. Ok, that's all well and good, but now I had a new problem. Running on a treadmill was boring. B-O-R-I-N-G. I mean, I was staring at a wall the entire time. A white wall. With no window. You get the point: boring. And here's a walk on the Isle of Capri:. How do th...
