Wednesday, November 20, 2013. Give us a great human character (no, not a "good guy"). We don't need to like or sympathize with them. That's nanowrimo bullshit. We don't need to admire their epic struggle against corporate America or whatever (have you read Franzen's Freedom. Remember any of those "good" cardboard characters? On the other hand, do you remember Anna Karenina, the worst person in the world who only ever killed one person, herself? The World You Can't Write. What aspect of the real world?

Franklin, Ink: What Is Steampunk?
http://tommfranklin.blogspot.com/2010/08/what-is-steampunk.html
A blog about writing, not writing, and books. Tuesday, August 24, 2010. When I posted a draft of my query on the WriteOnCon's forum for MG queries I was surprised to read a response from someone who said they didn't know if they could give good feedback because they didn't know what Steampunk was.

Steampunk could be considere...

Belfast is so multifaceted with its history, thriving modern culture and many tourist attractions, it left a lasting impression on me. The city has multiple pubs that have live music in the evenings and The Crown pub, which still has its original décor from the 19. As a native English speaker, I had no problem understanding their acc...

Home of the IMPs Writing Group. Skip to primary content. The Hard Work Comes After The Book Is Released. March 31, 2014. Has a guest post from author Tee Morris. Explaining why releasing a book is not the last step of the process. I’m going to talk about what you do after the book comes out. See, the hard part has only begun. It’s not writing the book. It’s not getting the book published. It’s getting people to buy your book. Keep the Blogging Pace You’ve Set. The increase in post frequency, I know, has ...

The Book Blog: Words and Music, Part 2.
http://loreleiarmstrong.blogspot.com/2013/07/words-and-music-part-2.html
Saturday, July 27, 2013. Words and Music, Part 2. About time to get back to this, don'tcha think, o two or three followers of this mighty blog? By the way, and in keeping with the idea that great writing must be heard in the head to be appreciated, I've stumbled upon a book I can only read at about thirty pages per hour. Because it is mostly dialogue, and quite adversing dialogue at that. William Gaddis' JR. So where am I going with this idea of listening to writing? Ireland is a place of poetry and musi...
