Avid Reading, Constant Writing. Monday, October 28, 2013. Writing: Wherever and whenever I can. Whoever invented the notepad: Thank you! I could look that up, I suppose) Sadly, I can't always take my laptop with me all the time - even though the whole idea of a laptop is to be able to take it with you everywhere, well, almost everywhere. No-no in the bathroom. Anyway, notepads are my lifesaver when I can't write on the computer. And that is exactly what happened to me today! Check Idea for a scene? Secon...

Avid Reading, Constant Writing. Tuesday, July 30, 2013. Trends: I'm Going To Avoid Them. But that just might be a good thing. Trends are going to change as they always have. Trends are going to repeat: Vampires to Dystopias to whatever comes next to Vampires to Dystopias and so on. A well-written story that both entertains and enlightens (gets the reader to think) will endure and will find an audience. Readers always find the stories they want to read. Any thoughts on trends?

J.A. Lantz: April 2014
http://avidreaderconstantwriter.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Avid Reading, Constant Writing. Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Bad News and Good News. It has been too long (again) between posts. I've been busy working and writing and otherwise bogged down by life. The title of the post is accurate. Bad News: My laptop had an "issue" and I lost much (more than I first thought) of the revision I was working on along with other data. Yes, I had backups, but the loss was still severe. Good News: The laptop is as good as new. I still have the original version of my novel!
