Thursday, April 06, 2006. Overcoming the inner procrastinator. I'm a procrastinator at times. While slogging through a tough scene, it's too easy to allow myself to be distracted by the TV or even housework. I've learned a few things that help me combat the tendency to wander around the house looking for something to do. Neglect favorite TV dramas. Hard, very hard, I'm addicted to a couple shows and after two weeks, withdrawal symptoms set in. Posted by Rebecca Airies : Link. Read all about it - here - o...

Monday, February 20, 2006. I have a stack of books just waiting to be read- over fifteen of them. Now this isn't my to-be-read-for-pleasure stack. These are books on writing- everything from structure and dialogue to a guide on writing proposals and query letters. I do experiment with some of the techniques suggested in some of the books. I'm always looking for new ways to improve my writing. But I'm realistic. Not everything in those books will work for me. PS: Just a bit of advice. Never experiment...

Friday, June 23, 2006. Popular. I'll help you be popular. At my writers' workshop last night, one of the attendees had a question about promotion. Someone had written to him, offering to promote his book, for the modest sum of $20,000. With no guarantees that anything would come of it. And he wanted to know if I felt that was a reasonable deal. Good grief, no! So here, for those of you unfamiliar with the basics of promotion, is some help identifying a reasonable deal. There are also pay-for-placement pu...

Wednesday, March 29, 2006. Ten Things I've Learned About Writing. This originally appeared in my personal blog, but response was so strong to it that I thought I'd post it over here as well. It's not so much about craft, technique or business, as it is about psychology and philosophy. But then, again, do you really need the eleventy-millionth person to tell you a bad agent is worse than no agent at all? Ten Things I've Learned About Writing. 1 You can't wait for your muse. 2 A good idea isn't good enough.

Wednesday, March 08, 2006. Tomorrow is Release Day. I don't think I've ever been so nervous! As a result of what I do for a living, tomorrow is my big day and it's giving me a headache, butterflies and nervous tremors. I'm a raving wreck! My husband has given up trying to talk to me, I keep zoning out while he's talking, wondering if everything is really all right. Will my work be there tomorrow when I sign on? Tomorrow is Release Day. Cross your fingers and wish me luck! Posted by Kelsy George : Link.

Thursday, February 23, 2006. The Seven Part Synopsis. A writer friend was recently complaining about how she hated to write synopses. I used to feel the same way, but now I find them incredibly simple. The difference is my discovery of the seven-part synopsis. The seven-part synopsis starts with characters, because I'm a very character-oriented writer. Part 1 is devoted to the heroine. Who is she? What is her background? How did she get where she is? What does she want out of life? Part 7 is the resoluti...
