August | 2007 | Writing Can Be Murder

https://jenniferelbaum.wordpress.com/2007/08

Writing Can Be Murder. August 29, 2007. 8212; jenniferelbaum @ 11:23 am. I once took a personality test that defined me as a squiggle (you know, a curvy line that goes in no particular direction). My secondary personality “trait” was a circle, which basically means I can’t think in a straight line like a triangle, square, rectangle type of person can. Pages 1 and 2 — Story “M”. Pages 3,4&5 — Story “E”. Pages 6 &7 — Story “G”. Page 8 — Back to story E. Page 9 — Back to story G. Do you squiggle too? The An...

Die! Die! | Writing Can Be Murder

https://jenniferelbaum.wordpress.com/2008/01/03/die-die

Writing Can Be Murder. January 3, 2008. 8212; jenniferelbaum @ 9:09 am. Tess Gerritsen has an interesting post up on her blog about killing off characters http:/ tessgerritsen.com/blog/2007/12/31/kill-the-character/#comments. Personally I probably would have cheered if she HAD killed off Jane Rizzoli, but that’s me). So in this version, the character doesn’t die. DH is happy. And I think I am too, BUT I don’t think I would have been unhappy if I had killed the character off. Leave a Comment ».

Writing Can Be Murder. January 8, 2008. Writing for the audience. 8212; jenniferelbaum @ 4:17 pm. The other day I was doing some nonfiction writing (yes, I know, you were under the impression that I spend ALL my time torturing and killing people). I was trying to rewrite a statement from a nationally known organization about one service some of their members provide for the general public. So my message today, for everyone, regardless of what you write, is “KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE! Leave a Comment ».

Appropriate bedtime viewing? | Writing Can Be Murder

https://jenniferelbaum.wordpress.com/2008/01/07/appropriate-bedtime-viewing

Writing Can Be Murder. January 7, 2008. 8212; jenniferelbaum @ 11:24 am. As the saying goes, “opposites attract”. DH and I are opposites. I am pretty much reminded of this every single day, but the other night this point was really driven home. We usually watch reruns of. 2 and 1/2 Men. Around me because I’ve never sat through an episode, but now, in the interest of marital bliss and sweet dreams I’ve seen every episode of. 8230;at least six times. Murder by the Book. 2 Comments ».

June | 2007 | Writing Can Be Murder

https://jenniferelbaum.wordpress.com/2007/06

Writing Can Be Murder. June 29, 2007. Building the 6 Million Dollar Book. 8212; jenniferelbaum @ 8:27 am. Remember the beginning of the old Six Million Dollar Man tv show? There was a voiceover that said something like, “We can make him faster, stronger, better.”. Every single time I think about my WIP, I’m trying to make the plot move faster, the characterization stronger, the emotional impact better. It’s still on the operating table…. June 28, 2007. Sharing a Work In Progress. June 26, 2007. Today I O...

Life of a Writing Publisher: August 2013

http://ascamacho.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Life of a Writing Publisher. Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Good-bye, Mr. Majestyk. As I write this the world has been without Elmore Leonard less than five hours and I am feeling the loss of my greatest writing mentor, although we never met. Leonard didn’t win a boatload of awards and I don’t think he was ever regarded as a great literary figure. Nor do I think he wanted to be. What he did was write stories that hooked you at the start, held you thru the middle, and gave you a satisfying ending. And there ...

KILLER HOBBIES: It's August Already

http://killerhobbies.blogspot.com/2015/08/its-august-already.html

Joanna Campbell Slan (Monday). Linda O. Johnston (Wednesday). Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Feels rather like the weather I grew up with back east: hot and humid. Only problem is that it's actually pretty dry here still despite the humidity in the air. Hard to believe that a lot of us are looking forward to seeing whether El Nino really appears this winter and brings us some rain- even though it's not expected to end the drought. I also gave a talk at the San Joaquin Sisters in Crime last weekend in. When I...

KILLER HOBBIES: Tracy Weber (Thursday)

http://killerhobbies.blogspot.com/p/tracy-webber-thursday.html

Joanna Campbell Slan (Monday). Linda O. Johnston (Wednesday). I grew up on a dairy farm in Montana and spent my childhood surrounded by dogs, cats, cows, and a variety of other animals too numerous to mention. At age eighteen, I left the farm and temporarily moved to Seattle for college. Three decades later, I’m still here. Writing is my newest passion. Writing about yoga, dogs, and murder. What could be more fun? I love hearing from readers! Visit me anytime at http:/ TracyWeberAuthor.com. TUESDAY - Nee...
