Another Writer's Blog: Pondering the next set of writing projects
http://markwwnb.blogspot.com/2014/11/pondering-next-set-of-writing-projects.html
Thoughts on the process of reading, writing and watching literature from a writer of middling success. Saturday, November 22, 2014. Pondering the next set of writing projects. As the end of November starts to slide into view and the sales process for the new Christmas novella swings into the automatic phase of appearance after appearance after appearance, I start to turn my mind to the next writing project. There are a lot of real advantages to this kind of approach, including the fact that it would beco...

Thoughts on the process of reading, writing and watching literature from a writer of middling success. Sunday, August 31, 2014. Experimenting with novel trailers. I have had a great idea for a promotional video for my new young adult novella. Writers' Digest suggests novel trailers are the latest thing and, while my idea isn't for a "trailer" per se, I still think it will do great things for my book. Saturday, August 23, 2014. A video trailer for my novel? The most recent edition of Writer's Digest.

Thoughts on the process of reading, writing and watching literature from a writer of middling success. Monday, October 27, 2014. A press release comes to life. So here's what I've been doing of late: writing press releases and other promotional material. What do you think of this one? New Brunswick Christmas novel supports McAdam Railway Station restoration. The 49-year-old transplanted Ontarian is responsible for the successful Abigail Massey at McAdam Station. 8220;This province has a rich literary tra...

Thoughts on the process of reading, writing and watching literature from a writer of middling success. Monday, July 6, 2015. On researching, writing and revising. These are challenging times. For me as a writer, that is. And also writing blogs and doing a great deal of writing at work. Yes, busy, interesting and challenging times, for sure. Of course, the more factual details you can find about a historical period, the more pressure there is on you to ensure that your fictional writing reflects those det...

Thoughts on the process of reading, writing and watching literature from a writer of middling success. Saturday, September 20, 2014. I'd rather be writing. If there's one thing I really struggle with as a writer is how to begin working on my next writing project when the current one is in the publish/promote stage. The new novel (left) with its elder siblings. That's all fun and interesting but it isn't the creative work that I so much enjoy. In simple words, "I'd rather be writing". So why can't...All o...

Thoughts on the process of reading, writing and watching literature from a writer of middling success. Saturday, February 14, 2015. Thinking about writing for screens, big and small. Screenwriting is never something I've considered seriously as a way to tell my stories. I'm not sure why. Perhaps because it seems to require such a firm commitment to forms and structures, like a sonnet almost. I look at a published screenplay and I think: whoa, I could never write one of those. I took her script and gave i...

Another Writer's Blog: What do I want from my writing?
http://markwwnb.blogspot.com/2015/06/what-do-i-want-from-my-writing.html
Thoughts on the process of reading, writing and watching literature from a writer of middling success. Monday, June 29, 2015. What do I want from my writing? Oh wow. I've just been reading some pretty sad news for wannabe authors like me. For example, according to online sources, the average published author in Canada earns $500 per year in royalties. Or try this one: even if a book is published, it has a 1% chance of being stocked in the major book retailers. This author colleague is, himself, published...
