Australian Author: December 2008

http://australianauthor.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Please feel free to comment on any of my posts. Wednesday, December 31, 2008. Have you ever noticed. I should go and edit something. Lord knows I have enough work there that needs it. The trouble with being a prolific writer is that you need to be a prolific editor and rewriter. I can't sit around and watch Joy do all the work around the house while I sit and read of course so I get the boxes for the trees (we use false ones) and go to the shed where she has left the disassembled trees. Add to that the f...

http://australianauthor.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Please feel free to comment on any of my posts. Thursday, April 23, 2009. Good morning all and welcome. If this sounds like something you might be interested in doing please let either myself at (http:/ australianpoet.blogspot.com/) or Brian (http:/ the-new-author.blogspot.com/) know of your interest so we know how many we have. I plan to be available throughout the entire workshop at any time (unless asleep) to help along the way but the extent of that might depend on the numbers. Tuesday, April 7, 2009.

Australian Author: March 2009

Please feel free to comment on any of my posts. Monday, March 30, 2009. Once you have taken your manuscript to the point where you are calling it a first draft, sleep on it. When the time is right and you go back to it you will be amazed at what you find. I have been through a manuscript in the last six months where I changed over 75% of the lines (most in very small ways to do with wording)and I am sure I would not have made that many changes if my head was still where it was a week after writing it.

Australian Author: January 2009

http://australianauthor.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Please feel free to comment on any of my posts. Thursday, January 8, 2009. I spoke on Wednesday night at a writers forum about E-Books and I found the conversation that came within my presentation from the group was very robust. It highlighted to me the interest that exists with writers in this approach to getting their work out into the big wide world for others to read, and the internet is a very big, wide world indeed. The real issue for me is the quality of the work however, as it always should be wi...

Australian Author: February 2009

Please feel free to comment on any of my posts. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. One of the things I am very strong about in my books is that what happens has to be believable and what would have been possible in the given situation. I am not writing super hero books after all, although I might give that a try one day. This is an interesting topic and I'd love to hear your thoughts. Monday, February 23, 2009. The Best Job in the World. I applied for this job and now I need your help. You may wonder why wh...

Australian Author: Now fix it up

http://australianauthor.blogspot.com/2009/04/now-fix-it-up.html

Please feel free to comment on any of my posts. Tuesday, April 7, 2009. Now fix it up. Finally I am back to finish off my brief series on writing a manuscript. Most times I change almost every line of this first pass through and I often loose as many as five thousand words. They were words I could afford to lose of course. Excellent post, have just got back from a sabbatical of sorts and back to visiting my friends and favorites. The "wheels" are great too, wind in face, eyes on the horizon. Thanks A&#46...
