The Oldest Blog Post

I thought I would spice up this summer’s blogging with older posts from my previous blog (which you can still find at lianabrooks.blogspot.com). And then I read through. It was like the archaeology of my career digging through those old posts. Updates on the first draft of EVEN VILLAINS FALL…

DECOHERENCE is Due in 14 Days

The third (and last) Time & Shadows book is due to my editor in 14 days. Which means I am in my writing dungeon trying to make Draft 3 of DECOHERENCE actually coherent. I’ll be back to the regular blogging schedule in May after the book is turned in and my…

Playing The Privilege Game

I had an experience today that highlighted something that we’ve been discussing on Twitter a lot, to wit, Privilege. I was at a mostly empty grocery store with two cashiers, myself, a pair of frat boys buying Sobe, chips, and beer (presumably in preparation for finals), and an elderly couple…

Using the Real World to Build a Fictional World – a guest post by S. A. Hoag

The Vista: Book 1 of The Wildblood revolves around the survivors of a world war that destroys civilization as we know it. Protecting The Vista is the core of the story, not just through the first book, but all of them. So I’m going to introduce you to some of…

Making Progress!

Note To Self – a post by Amy Laurens

This is post is shamelessly stolen (with Amy’s belated permission) from www.AmyLaurens.com Dear Self, Here’s the thing. You’ve been waffling back and forth over this thing called writing for a long time now, and really, we’ve all had just about enough. You say you want this, that it’s a life…

Not All Books Are For Children

The YA/Adult reading line has a tendency to elicit the same kind of violent opinion as the Vietnam War (excuse me – police action – right?). On one had you have the people who question why adults want to read (or write) about teenagers. I’m on the other side of…

Top Ten Allowable Reasons To Interrupt Mom While She’s Working (2.0)

Back in 2011 Corina Lawson published the original list of reasons children could reasonably interrupt a writing mother (or father). I love that list. It’s cute, and funny, and spot on. Nothing short a full zombie apocalypse should interrupt an author on a deadline. However, some of the jokes were…

March Goes Out Like A Lamb

This is normally where I’d announce the winner for the March prize, but since it’s International Idiot’s Awareness Day I’ve decided to wait until Monday so that no one deletes the notification as junk mail. March Writing Stats 31,000 Words Written — 50,000 Word (100 Pages) Edited – Blood shed,…
