http://wish-words.blogspot.com/2009/09/something-new-call-for-fiction.html

What the Heck is This Blog About? Posted by Wishwords in admin. In the interview Dorlana Vann did with me over on Supernatural Fairy Tales. Yesterday, I mentioned that I wanted to add a new aspect to this blog. I want to see what I inspire in you. I want fiction from you. Here are the guidelines:. 1) Submit fiction of 500 words or less between the time I post the creature article and the 15th of the month. 2) The creature of the month must play a major part in the story. Let's see what you can do. Storie...

What the Heck is This Blog About? Interview with Maggie Stiefvater about "Shiver". Posted by Wishwords in interview. In case you haven't heard, Maggie Stiefvater's novel "Shiver" just came out. It's about werewolves, but she gave them a very interesting twist. It's always fascinating to find out how and why a legend evolves, and this was a chance to catch one in the act. I asked Maggie why she chose werewolves and why she made the changes she did. So now . . . now I thought I had something&#4...Now, Grac...

What the Heck is This Blog About? Posted by Wishwords in flash. We have another story, this time with Leviathan. 8220;How do you speak to it? 8221; The elf-woman called, tending her bonfire of keys. Her fingers tangled in the smoke, seeming to yank at the flames. “What if it will not carry us? What if it is dying and we have to go back? 8220;You would stay? With the forest falling around you, axes at every root? 8220;Your skin is no more real than that creature is visible to those axe-wielders from the v...

Legendary Creatures: January 2009

http://wish-words.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

What the Heck is This Blog About? My muse is a sneaky thing, wielding inspiration like an angry young man hiding just around the dark corner with a broken board scavenged from a construction site trash pile. I found the beginning of my post apocalyptic werewolf novel when I wasn’t looking for it. Care to follow my journey? One of the books, Alas, Babylon. Do you have On the Beach. This weekend I took The Stepsister Scheme. For pleasure reading, The New Square Foot Gardening. I read it to L and he immedia...

Legendary Creatures: May 2008

http://wish-words.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

What the Heck is This Blog About? Very soon I will be attending my first large conference. I'm getting my notes together in case I get the chance to speak to agents. We've been told it's expected of us. I don't plan to pitch anything since nothing is beyond the second draft, but I hope to ask questions and get a feel for things. I've ordered business cards to give to other authors or anyone who asks. They have a plain teal background and my contact info on them. Simple is good. You need to sit down every...

What the Heck is This Blog About? Beast #2 - Hoop Snake/Ouroboros. Posted by Wishwords in creature. When I was growing up in Southeast Missouri, I heard stories about a lot of strange creatures. Most of these critters lived west of my home town, where it was hillier and more forested. One that I remember is the tale of the hoop snake. At this point there is a pause to explain to those unfamiliar with local wildlife what a hoop snake is. Descriptions range from short to long, slim to fat, and mud to r...

What the Heck is This Blog About? Please note that I. When I met my husband in Iraq. He was a KBR electrician, a licensed journeyman. Going from working union jobs in the States to working in. Was trying experience for him. In the States, anything he wanted; tools, supplies, equipment was available for the asking or just by running down the street to the local Home Depot or Lowes. He quickly discovered was that the few tools he was issued were made from substandard materials. One of the issues the electr...

What the Heck is This Blog About? Interview with Jim C. Hines about "The Mermaid's Madness". Posted by Wishwords in interview. I'm so excited about this book. I absolutely loved "The Stepsister Scheme" and have been impatiently waiting for this second book in the series. I'm also excited about this interview. Jim is personable and encouraging to those of us who want to be authors when we grow up. He's also a damn good writer. So read the interview and go enjoy the book! Http:/ www.jimchines.com.

The Nurse Is In: Blogophobia and Related Social Diseases

http://sueswriteon.blogspot.com/2009/04/blogophobia-and-relaateed-social.html

The Nurse Is In. Thoughts about healthcare from a seasoned professional. Sunday, April 12, 2009. Blogophobia and Related Social Diseases. I'll be the first to admit it: I'm whimping out. I wanted to highlight my fellow writer and friend Kelli's latest story and probably the best way to do that is to "cut and paste" information about the piece that has already been printed. If I could do that.Without angst. The information about Kelli's work, and hope it suffices. Posted by Susan H. Miller. I hereby launc...
