A few weeks ago we talked about support, how it can vary from person to person, how not everyone will give you the level you want, and that’s okay. I think it’s important to keep hitting this, though, because I think there’s this misconception with support and with things like marketing and networking that you … More Your Supporters & Audience are Human, Too (Things I’d Wished I’d Known)
Got some new links to sling about, so let’s take care of where I’ve been the past few weeks! Books By Violet YA Graphic Novel Reviews: Awkward – A fun book with a diverse cast of fully written characters. This one definitely captures what it’s like to be in middle school. Positively Izzy – An … More Doing My Thing! (news & updates)
It’s been a while since I’ve shared some non-murdery prose, so why not, right? I’m not the best at being vulnerable, but I do care a lot about people. I’m extremely lucky to have the friends and family in my life who support me, as well as have crossed paths with some amazing people who … More Prose: You are More
So not a writing book, but still something that I think will speak to all types of creative people, and people in general. I’ve recently been working my way through this book, and I have to admit, I’m impressed. We hold ourselves back a lot, whether by attitude toward ourselves or behavior toward others. … More SJ Reads: Coming Alive
Eh, it’s summer, let’s have some fun. I haven’t done a lost manuscripts post in forever (you’re heartbroken, I know). Thankully I found a giant box of stuff to go through during The Culling last year, so I’ll have material for a long time. For those not in the loop, this is where I dig … More The Lost Manuscripts: The Tooth Who Didn’t Want to be Cleaned
It’s Camp Nano time, so I figured I’d look at some writing/creative books for those who are of the mind. I fell into this title last year, read through it once, and really want to go through again step by step. I’ve sat in a few things Jessica Abel has done, and her mindset to … More SJ Reads: Growing Gills by Jessica Abel
One of the things that has really been brought home for me lately is support. In any sort of artistic endeavor, it’s important. There are a lot of thoughts on the subject, and these are just mine, born from my personal experience – ymmv. So one of the things that inevitably comes up with people … More People may not support you – and that’s okay (Things I’d Wished I’d known)
I’ve also been trying to read more about writing, so today’s SJ Reads goes with that line of thought. I try to be aware of anything that will help me out, and I’ve noticed a lot of my writerly friends mentioning this title. I was skeptical at first, and then I paged through it at … More SJ Reads: Save the Cat
So, we’ve gone over the importance of reading before – you can’t appreciate the genres you write in, can’t know what’s out there, unless you’re surrounding yourself with stuff. Alright? Alright. Well, welcome to my TED Talk 2.0. One of the things I’ve learned this year (hey, I’m still learning, too), is another one of … More Read for Where You Wanna Be (Practical Advice)
So yeah, I’m behind. A lot of my around the web and free read pages are updated, so feel free to waste a lot of time there. I’ve had some new stuff recently, though, that I haven’t had time to add on yet (and I’ll be mean and not do it until after this post … More If You Can’t Get Enough of Me (Updates)
