The recent short story I’ve been shopping around got another rejection this week (the 8th I think).
This one was different…
I didn’t want to end 2013 not writing. (Long boring story, doesn’t need telling here).
I wanted to have some fun and this series has always been about me having fun.
So, after two years, here is part 6. I hope you enjoy. I intend to keep this going for a while.
Now available is K.M. Weiland’s new book of writing advice “Structuring Your Novel: Essential Keys for Writing an Outstanding Story.”. I was lucky enough to be provided an Advanced Reader E-Copy to review.
I’ve been listening to Weiland’s Wordplay podcast for a long time now (I’ve gone back and listened from the beginning) and her book “Outlining Your Novel: Map Your Way To Success” is a large reason I’m an outliner today. I’ve also very much enjoyed “Dreamlander” from the fiction side of her oeuvre.
Read on for a review!
Exciting!
K.M. Weiland asked me if I would be willing to read an ARC of her new book ‘Structuring Your Novel: Essential Keys for Writing an Outstanding Story’ ahead of the August 25th release date and give some feedback and/or review it.
I really enjoyed her other book, ‘Outlining Your Novel: Map Your Way to Success’ (It’s becoming painfully obvious that I’m more of a planner than a pantser) so I was thrilled and happy to agree.
Keep an eye on the site for some thoughts about the book. I’ve casually flipped through it already and I like what I see so far. I intend to give it a serious read on my vacation two weeks from now (AFTER I catch up on all the Writing Group reading I’ve been letting slide).
K.M. Weiland is the host of the Wordplay podcast, and her website ‘Wordplay: Helping Writers Become Authors’ is here.
That’s right. I made it past 100 days.
(Right now, the streak stands at 104 days with a 400 word daily quota)
Read on to see how it’s going.
Richard Matheson passed away at the age of 87.
‘I Am Legend’ is one of my favorite books. It was one of my early forays in the world of science-fiction. (Let me pretend the horrid thing with Will Smith that shares its name doesn’t exist).
My consecutive days of writing streak stands at 81. I’m at 32K in my current WIP.
I’m closing in on 100.
