Every now and then I wonder about what a quiet life might entail...especially when the builders are sawing away, the plumber is banging pipes loudly and the kids are helping Dad paint at the other end of the house....
Before I can drift into fantasy dream mode involving solitude and unlimited drinks I’m interrupted five times...
This week’s blog roundup falls heavily on the craft side...as that was top of my eye when starting to research this week, inspired by all the crafting around here as the builders and plumbers attempt to straighten out some of the kinks in this old cottage.
First the inspiration...you can do this... write like Neil Gaimen.
You can get a professional mindset.
You can increase your daily word count.
You can plan for the long haul like Lee Child.
All your story needs is some attention to...
Emotional structure in your novel.
Crafting subplots that make sense.
Characters who have goals...does this mean all of them?
How to dialogue an argument between characters...
So that later you will be able to step back and take the long view of the business
with and an understanding of ...
The US Department of Justice ruling on whether the big six were acting illegally explained (wittily by Maureen Johnson) and what it means to us (writers and readers) in the long term.
Staying safe in the digital age.
Building hype on Goodreads about your book.
and if all else fails you can always try these writing prompts.
I would like to thank Janice Hardy, Bob Mayer, Joel Friedlander, Romance University, KM Weiland, Maureen Johnson, Darcy Pattison, Stephen Pressfield, Neil Gaimen, Scribblers Cove and Chip Macgregor for all inspiration found today as I attempted to escape the racket.
