The Joy of Story: May 2013
http://johnmdaniel.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
The Joy of Story. Welcome. Here I will offer my thoughts about writing, editing, and publishing, which are the things I know and do. Saturday, May 25, 2013. MONSTERS, SWEET DREAMS, AND LAUGHTER. NOTE: This is Chapter Four in the short book I am writing about why and how we write stories. MONSTERS, SWEET DREAMS, AND LAUGHTER. I walked out of my mother’s house in the middle of an argument, and I never saw her alive again. I should have given my son the bicycle of his dreams. Sure, but remember that as a wr...

Brayton's Briefs: Around the Globe with WILLIAM DOONAN
http://stephenlbrayton.blogspot.com/2012/04/around-globe-with-william-doonan.html
Friday, April 13, 2012. Around the Globe with WILLIAM DOONAN. Bring on the leprechauns! 1 Who are you and what makes you the most fascinating person in your city? 2 Without revealing a deep dark secret (unless you want to), what one thing would people be surprised to learn about you? I think most people would be surprised to learn that I’m willing to do nude scenes if essential to the plot. Also, I collect antique 3D cameras. 4 Writers are readers. With which author(s) would you enjoy sharing dinner?

The Cannibals of Madison County | William Doonan
https://williamdoonan.wordpress.com/2014/02/07/the-cannibals-of-madison-county
I write books and stories. The Cannibals of Madison County. Leave a comment ». After a long toil, my epic short story (17 pages) The Cannibals of Madison County. I put the story up as a Kindle short story, because let’s face it, there’s nowhere else to publish these days except Highlights for Children, and they’re cagey when it comes to headhunting. I intend this as an experiment. The story is only 18 pages long, and you can download it free today. February 7, 2014 at 9:30 pm. Horror has a new URL. The A...

Novel Spaces: How to Not Write Anything
http://novelspaces.blogspot.com/2015/08/how-to-not-write-anything.html
Request a Guest Spot. Friday, August 7, 2015. How to Not Write Anything. Well- here I am and it's late! Or rather it's the day of and I'm unprepared! But, excuses I have! I am in the midst of moving! Which people say is one of the the lost stressful things you can do in life. I have moved often and it gets a LITTLE easier, but it's also been a long time and I have accumulated a lot of stuff. But that's not why I'm here! SO that left me with maybe 5% creative energies (on a good day) left over for writing...

Novel Spaces: Happy Landings!
http://novelspaces.blogspot.com/2015/07/happy-landings.html
Request a Guest Spot. Saturday, July 25, 2015. I've been hanging around Berlin for the past two weeks. No. I lie. I've been hanging around a tiny, stuffy, and overstuffed studio apartment, for the past two weeks. The first few days, there is the angst of the lost/delayed/where-the-hell-could-it-be luggage. The flight to Berlin from LAX is delayed by over an hour, making the connector in Düsseldorf to Berlin almost impossible. Robust Tante Gertrud greets us at the gate in Berlin. She's about 88 or 89 ...

http://novelspaces.blogspot.com/2015/07/guest-author-scorchia-dubois-motivation.html
Request a Guest Spot. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Guest author Scorchia Dubois: Motivation. A major consideration in any work of literature is character development and a major consideration in character development is motivation. What makes the characters do what they do? Do real people act this way for these reasons? Why, in particular, am I writing this story? Why, specifically, have I chosen to write about this character and this plot? I truly believe we are here in this place, in this time to do two t...
