Writer Post – Fall Has Arrived
It’s a new season. Fall is upon us. And as I started this blog post – twice – today, the only thing I came up with to write about was…television. I’m a TV watcher. I am. I grew up with television. I have professional “heroes” that are mostly television writers and creators. I even earned […]
New Zip File for “The Pen Is Mightier”
I’ve been told there are some issues with “The Pen is Mightier”. So I put a new zip file on the downloads page. Or try it here… The Pen is Mightier – Rhonda Eudaly It’s a murder mystery first found on the web. It was (and still is) my first attempt at epub.
FenCon Loometh Nigh
What does “FenCon Loometh Nigh” mean for me as a writer? With the convention starting in less than 48 hours, it means my writing time is greatly diminished. In fact, I wrote out parts of this article while waiting for my car to go through the car wash, and I’m typing it as I’m “holding […]
From the Archive – Choosing a Market
Here’s the archive post for the holiday weekend. I will be spending tomorrow hopefully writing and having U-Verse installed… see you on the flip side… __________________ If you write it, it will sell. This seems to be the underlying theory of all new writers. Now, I don’t want to squash any promising hopes and dreams, […]
Writing Blog – Writing, ArmadilloCon, and the Power of NO
Yay a random writing blog with 30% less Random! Whee! I can hear the excitement now. (And there was much rejoicing.) So in no particular order – ah, heck, let’s go backwards from the order of the title – mix things up. Can’t you tell I live dangerously? One of the scariest and most liberating […]
From the Archive – New Year’s Resolutions
It’s that time of year again. New Year. A new year. A new start. It’s the time of the year when a lot of people make grand resolutions to change something major in their life. For most it’s some kind of bad habit or a means to get healthier. For many writers, it’s also a […]
Writer Blog – Let the Randomness Continue – Conventions Redux
I don’t know where this week has gone. I’ve been messing up the days in my head all week. Yesterday, I would’ve sworn today was Thursday – which meant I should’ve panicked over this YESTERDAY (but yesterday was Tuesday all day). Somehow my brain is just not comprehending Wednesday this week. Go figure. Prepping for […]
Oh, and the Other Thing…
I got my first “Major League” novel rejection today. As in, one of the Big Six publishers. I have to say (and not just because I’m going to have the opportunity to meet Anne Sowards in a couple of weeks), ACE/ROC has the nicest, politest form rejection emails ever. And they had a very quick […]
From the Archive – Trolls for Christmas
Yes, it’s Christmas in August – which is nice since it’s been 105 degrees here in Texas lately. Before I get to the archive post, a quick update. There are only a few hours left to register for the Rhodia Notebook. Get commenting. Now…Trolls for Christmas… When you have any kind of presence on the […]
Writer Post – Publishing is Dead, Jim…Again
I apologize for not getting this up yesterday. It’s been a week… Over the last few weeks, there’s been a lot more Death Knelling over Traditional Print Publishing. OMG! Print is dead. Ebooks rule. Long live the ebook. But is that really the case? There are arguments for and against. JA Konrath made waves when […]
