Having a Standard Writing Place

A lot of famous writers suggest that they wouldn’t write if they didn’t have a set time and place in which to write everyday. Now I admit that most of the time I like this too but does it make sense? I’m asking this because the second thing they say is that they are writers [...]

On Writing Graphic Novels Writing the Story First

When I was participating in Script Frenzy I joined a group on Zhura for people like me who were participating and asked everyone there didn’t they think writing a graphic novel was easier than writing a film script. One person replied with “No! I’m still stuck on the pictures,” (disclaimer: this may not be verbatum). [...]

Getting Back Into Short Stories

It has been so long since I have written a short story of any kind that I found myself getting back to it almost by accident. I had planned to go back to it after I finished my first three graphic novel scripts by writing short stories about the characters from those stories. But I [...]

Writing for Demand Studios and The Internet in General.

I recently tried my hand at writing for another article-based website called Demand Studios. Demand Studios is not like Associated Content or Suite 101 which are both more like magazines with an unlimited number of pages. Instead Demand Studios is a website based on hiring writers to write articles for third party websites while paying [...]

On Writing Graphic Novels Pt. 2: Writing Graphic Novel Action Sequences

One surprising thing I have found since starting to write this graphic novel series is that I really like writing action sequences. The reason this is surprising is that when I was writing in other genres (i.e. non-sci-fi) I didn’t think I could write action sequences. I thought they were intimidating and what did I [...]

On Writing Graphic Novels

Of all the categories of people you would think would be easy to find online wouldn’t you think it would be graphic novel writers? I mean come on, people!
Maybe I should explain. I am a member of a website called Zhura.com (I wrote about them here if you want an overview) and this website is [...]

Writing Goals Reached! And New Article Series

I’ve got some celebrating to do today! I’ve finished my second graphic novel script in the series!
It’s only a three part series graphic novel-wise. Actually as far as the series goes it’s three graphic novels and one traditional novel (eventually). So that means that the next graphic novel I write has to wrap up the [...]

Writing Updates

The past week has been pretty successful writing-wise (not so much designing but whatever). I just finished an article about genealogy online and I’m starting a series on self-publishing (more on that later). But the best part is that I’m almost done with my second graphic novel (script)! I’ve only got 30-ish pages left.
Also I [...]

New Concept: Hint Fiction

Ok so Hint Fiction is a new concept to me I don’t really know if it’s new to anyone else but here goes. Hint Fiction is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a story in 25 words that describes a situation someone is in but not necessarily with an ending revealed. I found out about [...]

Associated Content vs. Suite 101 Writing for Websites Pt 2

As some of you remember late last year I was a writer for an online magazine called Suite 101 until I let my contract run out this year. Since then I have found another site to write for called Associated Content and here it is the second part of my review.
Associated Content vs. Suite 101 [...]
