There are times when I totally miss the mark and this is one of those times. I try to write about my trials and tribulations in writing in order to help others. I podcast about getting published. I have links of other cool podcasters. What I haven’t been doing is adding to the links on my page whenever I find another site that has great information about writing and the publishing process. I’m going to try and change that. Going forward, I’m going to try and add any of those sites that I trip over that have good/great information. If you come across one that I don’t have a link to, please drop me a line so I can add […]

Writing Humor
I’m working on a project right now that is stretching my brain and moving me into territories both unfamiliar and daunting. I am trying (note the word “Trying”) to write a Science Fiction Comedy. I love comedy writing whether it is Terry Pratchett’s “Discworld” series (yes, I know it is parody. It’s still funny), or Douglas Adams ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ or even Robert Asprin’s “Myth Inc.” series. Comedy writing is some of my favorite to read.

I’ve got detailed character sketches, most […]

I am thrilled to have Tee Morris as this episode’s guest. Tee is one of two people who got me interested in podcasting. In fact, Tee’s ‘Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy’ was the first podcast I ever listened to. Tee has a real wealth of experience; he’s an author of fiction and non-fiction, co-founder of Podiobooks.com, podcaster, blogger and social media champion.

Well, I have managed to win NaNoWriMo again for another year and as has been the case in each of the past three NaNo’s I learned something new about writing and about myself. I set myself a pretty ambitious goal this year. I wanted to get my 50,000 words completed by November 20th. That didn’t quite happen. The actual date of completion was November 22nd instead. Not quite what I planned but this NaNo had something others did not: days when I didn’t actually write. Yes, its true. I had a few things come up where I was on the road without time to write. I think the total non-writing days this year was three so, in theory, I actually […]
