Super Guest Star Saturday 1/23/10: Sherri Cornelius

Sherri Cornelius is a dear friend of mine and a regular beta reader for me who's helped me with many of my projects.  I met her three NaNoWriMos ago, when I was writing the first draft of Troubleshooters.  Although she's no longer working with Eternal Press, she still has a lot to say about editing.

Champion: An excerpt

I'm ready for you

Since I'm already some three thousand words into Champion: A Just Cause Novel, I figured you might like a little taster of the third of the Mustang Sally books, so here is the beginning (in rough draft form, of course):

 


 

Super Guest Star Saturday 1/16/10: Frank Byrns

Frank Byrns bought my stories The Scent of Rose Petals (Nov. '09) and Graceful Blur (coming Mar. '10).  I asked him to talk about what he looks for as an Editor/Publisher.

"What exactly are you looking for?"

If I had a penny for every time I’ve heard that in my role as Editor / Publisher of A Thousand Faces, the Quarterly Journal of Superhuman Fiction (PLUG!). . . .

Super Guest Star Saturday 1/9/10: D. M. Jeftinija, Ph.D.

You may have heard that I produce a weekday webcomic, The Adventures of the S-Team, and have since May 2006.  The single largest source of inspiration for me to start my own comic was the long-running LegoStar Galactica webcomic.  It is funny, well-constructed, and well-written to boot, and since we LEGO webcomic authors tend to gravitate together, it was only natural that eventually I'd ask somebody to contribute to Super Guest Star Satu

So you wanna be a Beta Reader?

Who's fast, and thorough, and sharp as a tack

I've got some new Beta Readers working on Blood on the Ice this time around, and it occurred to me that you might want to know how you too can get in on some of that action.  Since I'm so prolific, there's generally no shortage of stuff I need read & critiques done on, and here are some of the things you can do to get invited.

You might be a writing nerd...

...If you can have a lengthy discussion on the proper use of possessive apostrophes in relation to sports teams

Yeah, this is the kind of stuff I love to do. I want to share my nerdiness with you, so here is my discussion with my dear friend Allison (edited for clarity).

Ian: Ok, here goes.

Stand up, you got to live while you can

Hey, it's my first blog post of 2010!  Go me!
