It struck me today that everyone who practices multiple disciplines (usually motherhood, work and some kind of hobby) talks about balance. I don’t work the way they say I’m supposed to. You’re supposed to focus on one thing for a really long time and make it really successful before moving on to something else. But [...]
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 [...]
Techie Trekkie Writer
I have a major confession to make. I am a Trekkie. I keep asking myself isn’t that a little outdated? Shouldn’t I be into Twilight or something a little more recent? Because what I mean when I say Trekkie is not what some people my age would think I mean as in The Next Generation–quite [...]
Writing for Websites Part 1
Remember back in the day when I wrote for Suite101.com? Ah, memories. Well, round about the time I stopped writing here I stopped writing there but for good reason. I couldn’t take it anymore! Not really actually it was because of their restrictive guidelines. Ten articles every three months or your contract got removed. At [...]
Techie Weekend: Zhura.com
I found Zhura through the 48 Hour Film Project website on their list of free script writing programs to try. Having downloaded some in the past and not really liking them I was surprised to find Zhura to be totally web based and free forever.
If you’re a screenplay writer you’ll like Zhura’s traditional layout and [...]
