Haunted Pen: August 2014

http://hauntedpen.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 4, 2014. Musa Publishing is giving away the whole first year of their eMagazine, Penumbra. Which publishes speculative short fiction . I haven't downloaded it yet, but plan to. Check it out for yourselves at Musa Publishing. The dictionary defines synopsis as "a condensation or brief review of a subject: summary.". At PitchFest, agents asked me to send them my book along with a "short" summary. Oh," I said, "like four pages? How did I do it? I tried to keep my thinking within the main plot...

Bev's Writer's Blog: Canyon Flower completed!

http://writerjackson.blogspot.com/2016/11/canyon-flower-completed_12.html

After Writing, What Else? Saturday, November 12, 2016. I am thrilled to announce that I have just completed "Canyon Flower" (my second novel and third book). CANYON FLOWER (65K), a work of literary fiction edged with magical realism. The novel, set in the spectacular red canyons of Moab, Utah, is written in three sections from three points of view to unravel the ‘Rashomon effect’ of subjective and objective realities. ISHI Atero, the other Japanese geisha, has clairvoyant visions and grapples with incest...

Haunted Pen: Complex Villains

http://hauntedpen.blogspot.com/2015/05/complex-villains.html

Thursday, May 28, 2015. Http:/ www.mostlymystery.com. Villains always cause me problems in my stories. Not only do they hide their identity, but they hate telling me anything about themselves. The day-long workshop helped me diagnose my villainous problems and have a great day with like-minded writers. I was so impressed that I wrote a post with links to other nefarious sites about villains. Click the link at the top to get there. As always, keep writing! May 29, 2015 at 1:18 PM.

Sunday, October 19, 2014. It’s that time of year once more. NaNoWriMo. National Novel Writing Month is a few weeks away. One of the members of my writing group, Dianne Herlihy, is planning on doing NaNo this year. She’s working on an exciting mystery series and hopes to get at least 50,000 words written of Book two or maybe it’s Book three. You'll see how they support their entrants with.

http://hauntedpen.blogspot.com/2015/06/haiku-ancient-form-of-japanese-poetry.html

Sunday, June 7, 2015. An ancient form of Japanese poetry. Although I love poetry, my numerous attempts to create it have always failed. Until, however, I discovered Haiku, a lovely short form of poetry. A Haiku is made up of only three lines- five syllables for the first and third lines and seven syllables for the second line. I begin with a word or topic and let my imagination fly. Here are two I wrote, the first for spring (here now) and the second for summer (soon to be upon us):. As spring tiptoes in.

Haunted Pen: Lose Some Weight--Write Tight!

http://hauntedpen.blogspot.com/2015/05/lose-some-weight-write-tight.html

Saturday, May 9, 2015. Lose Some Weight- Write Tight! Writing critiques have often pointed out that I add superfluous information to my scenes. Sometimes, I have superfluous scenes. Sigh. Writing isn't easy. Lots of people have the same problem. If you're one of them, fear not. I've found a wonderful antidote to that particular dilemma- a cool exercise that's helped me tighten my writing. Flash Fiction! Then she added the kicker. "It has to be under 150 words.". Things I wanted to include:. That there ha...

Haunted Pen: November 2014

http://hauntedpen.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Monday, November 10, 2014. New England Crime Bake 2014. This past weekend at Crime Bake was the best so far! Every November for the past five years, I've driven with my friend Dianne to Dedham, MA for the Crime Bake weekend, but we both agreed that this conference outdid the others. The guest author was Craig Johnson. In keeping with the western theme, the workshops had titles like: Desperadoes Waiting for a Train: Why Do We Write Crime Fiction? And Don't Fence Me In: Big Press, Little Press, ePress, Oh!
