Fantasy POD: Don't Yawn
http://fantasypod.blogspot.com/2006/12/dont-yawn.html
Thursday, December 14, 2006. Nothing exciting, interesting or mysterious after that? Fast forward until you get there. If you got to the end of your novel, you've got some work to do. This advice ought to go into a book for new authors, along with "Don't start your story with the weather" and "No, it was not all a dream. It really wasn't." Amazing how new writers all seem to get the same seven or eight bad ideas spontaneously. December 23, 2006 at 8:54:00 PM PST. January 3, 2007 at 4:13:00 PM PST.

Independent Authors Guild: January 2009
http://independentauthorsguild.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 21, 2009. Weekly Update - 21 Jan. OK, so it's the middle of the week, and I didn't do an update last week. I had one of the most awful colds/allergic reactions/flu imaginable, and my heart was seriously into nothing more energetic than crawling out of bed for a fresh cup of herb tea and some ibuprofin now and again. But I am feeling better now, so without farther ado -. IAG member Patricia Gott (So You Wanna be a Cowgirl? Was interviewed on the Western blog - The Tainted Archive. Histo...

Independent Authors Guild: Word of Mouth
http://independentauthorsguild.blogspot.com/2009/04/word-of-mouth.html
Sunday, April 12, 2009. Anyway, I got a lovely email from another long-time San Antonio blogger. Yep, “Buckaroo Banzai” and “Building an Empire” Peter Weller. He was just tickled – and so was I; I didn’t even know that Peter Weller had any connection to Texas, or to Germany, even. I am waiting breathlessly for the Amazon ranking to hiccup slightly, and move upwards, meaning that someone – dare I hope? Has bought another set. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Katz, Michael S.

None May Say: REVIEW: Stray Not Beyond by Michael B. Pinkey
http://nonemaysay.blogspot.com/2008/05/review-stray-not-beyond-by-michael-b.html
Some may say I couldn't sing, but none may say I didn't sing.". Florence Foster Jenkins (1869-1944). Tuesday, May 20, 2008. REVIEW: Stray Not Beyond by Michael B. Pinkey. WARNING: mild spoiler ahead, for those who like to know no more about a novel's plot than what the back cover reveals.

The entryway to a different world. A very. Travelogu...

Odyssey Reviews: Being a cry-baby will not sell books.
http://herodyssey.blogspot.com/2011/04/being-cry-baby-will-not-sell-books.html
Friday, April 1, 2011. Being a cry-baby will not sell books. The hard truth is this; if you write to publish, you are exposing yourself to opinion. Period. If you don’t like negative opinions, then you should either make sure that you write like Austen, Steinbeck, Twain, Shelley, Dickenson, Whitman, Keats (None of whom were immune to criticism and negative reviews, by the way), or don’t write at all. My point is. It’s as simple as that. I don’t think so. People are still downloading Jessica Bla...By acti...
