Newbies & Goblins & Conflict, Oh My!
Welcome to The Green Room - home of author C.L. Stegall
I will be enduring all of the joys and pains of moving my residence throughout the weekend so this will be short and sweet for today’s Friday Writing post.
Today I will promote some other folks who are awesome and have a lot to share, starting with the latest from Bob Mayer and Write It Forward. He speaks about the three P’s that are ever-so-important to authors these days, Platform, Product and Promotion. You shouldn’t miss this one!
I think a few of my fellow authors may have shared this one before but I feel it is a worthwhile resource and read. Wordplay’s page of 5 Ways to Keep Readers Riveted With Conflict. Wordplay is the site of author K.M. Weiland.
Another great resource is related to Bob’s article noted above. It’s Tony Eldridge’s Marketing Tips For Authors.
For those who self-publish, a necessary and interesting weekly read is Joe Konrath’s “A Newbie’s Guide To Self-Publishing.” Joe (JA) Konrath is a prolific writer who has been both traditionally published (with his Jack Daniel’s series) and gone through all the ups and downs of self-publishing (to great success!).
Speaking of self-publishing success stories, Amanda Hocking is the true self-publishing poster-child these days. Plus she writes an interesting blog. I feel (and she admits) that her novels could be a bit better edited, but the girl is one helluva storyteller (and that gives her quite a bit of leeway in my book).
Check out the way cool Goblin Market audio read from author Jennifer Hudock.
Anna DeStefano leads “Tips For Writers” a page of articles from various contributors that can only help improve your efforts as a writer. It’s a great resource.
And, last, but not least, is the very cool “The Best Damn Creative Writing Blog.”
Hopefully this gives everyone more than enough reading and research to do until I get back online sometime over the weekend! Take care and WRITE, WRITE, WRITE! (Oh, and follow me at @clstegall.)
