Literary Snark: Elsewhere
http://litsnark.blogspot.com/2010/05/elsewhere.html
Monday, May 31, 2010. Scale of 1 - 10:. Well-written, with a good, thoughtful story. No explanation for why people in Elsewhere live their lives in reverse, which seems like a gimmick. There are gentle lessons to be learned in the pages of Elsewhere, if readers can set aside their religious beliefs and just go with Liz's story, which is about both growing up and coming to terms. I recommend it for all ages. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). FTC Mandated Disclaimer *eyeroll*. Can be found here. Meh - i...

Literary Snark: October 2009
http://litsnark.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 9, 2009. The FTC, in all its infinite wisdom and glory, has decided that every blog, large or small, needs to tell you whether or not it gets payola for stated opinions like book reviews. So here it is:. Some of the books reviewed here might be books we received for free as Advance Reader Copies (ARC's). Publishers sometimes send those out to bookstores so that booksellers will read them, like them, and recommend them to customers. A Guide To the Birds of East Africa. Can be found here.

Sandra Tuttle is an author of Urban Fantasy. Wednesday, October 21, 2009. Controversy and how it can make you a better writer. A few weeks ago I posted a blog about how I was going to post writing prompts/challenges every week, then I completely forgot about it! How terrible is that? Granted the response was nil, but still, I really should've followed through. So here you go, the writing challenge of the week:. To help with a pitch to an agent/editor write a haiku about the plot of your novel. People wan...

Sandra Tuttle: August 2009
http://sandratuttle.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Sandra Tuttle is an author of Urban Fantasy. Thursday, August 27, 2009. Okay, let me first point out that this blog in no way discriminates against the French. Lol It, indeed, is truly about frogs- you know the slimey, beady eyed, throat billowing frogs. Also this blog is not connected to Fuck you Penguin, nor is it a homage. I am not talking about how cute frogs are, or how they are trying to take over the world. okay I lied about the last part. Well it's simple really. Back to present day- Michigan: In...

Sandra Tuttle is an author of Urban Fantasy. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Finding your voice, how to write and how Nike got it right. I looked into the green glass of the bottle in front of me and saw the one thing I never wanted to see reflected there. Now onto the blog:. We have housewives trying to write, homeschool moms trying to write, professors, athletes, lawyers, secretaries, social workers, garbage men and hell, that poor soul who cleans at the porno booth is probably trying to write too. Colleg...

Sandra Tuttle: Things I learned while in Missouri
http://sandratuttle.blogspot.com/2009/11/things-i-learned-while-in-missouri.html
Sandra Tuttle is an author of Urban Fantasy. Thursday, November 12, 2009. Things I learned while in Missouri. While bff's equal muse from a distance, up close and personal is another story. Barely a days work. Come to find out, hanging out with her is much more distracting and I can't get anything done. How in the world did I convince myself this would be a writing sabbatical? Missouri is a seriously mouse having state. (How I learned that I'm not afraid of mice). Brand Name Lash-lengthening mascara?

Sandra Tuttle: Overcoming Perfectionism as a Writer
http://sandratuttle.blogspot.com/2009/10/overcoming-perfectionism-as-writer.html
Sandra Tuttle is an author of Urban Fantasy. Thursday, October 15, 2009. Overcoming Perfectionism as a Writer. As some of you may know, I am completely rewriting book 1 of the Just Sam series. I'm doing this for several reasons:. 1 I'm a better writer now and editing is proving to be impossible. 2 Samantha's voice has changed in my head. 3 It is the first book I've ever written and I've worked some kinks out in my style. 4 It has glaring plot gaps. Pretty heavy stuff, right? So rewriting makes sense.

Sandra Tuttle: Counter intuitive things to be thankful for
http://sandratuttle.blogspot.com/2009/11/counter-intuitive-things-to-be-thankful.html
Sandra Tuttle is an author of Urban Fantasy. Thursday, November 26, 2009. Counter intuitive things to be thankful for. Yes I'm doing a Thanksgiving blog: surprise surprise. But since I can't seem to do anything in a standard fashion, I thought I'd mix things up a bit. Things that I'm thankful for that perhaps I shouldn't, or just that seem counter intuitive. I am thankful for:. There are a lot of websites out there for people who don't have spread out friends and family. Google couch surfing, caretakers ...
