change in workshop schedule

When I set this workshop up, I put in a “catch up” day, mostly because I’m going to be away. Except I got the date wrong. The Mathematician and I are going away for two days to celebrate our 21st anniversary, which turns out to be tomorrow. Neither of us can ever remember. This is an [...]

workshop ‘09, day three: fight! fight! fight!

rosina — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 07:42:58 +0000

First let me yell real loud, because I had a long post ready to go with detailed instructions, and somehow I lost it. I can’t remember the last time that happened to me. Color me frustrated. So I’m going to do it again, but in a far more abbreviated (read: concise) way. And there’s a [...]

quick question for the downunderers & also Spanish speakers

I’ve had a couple emails recently from people on the opposite side of the globe that have me confused. Here’s an example, from Vanessa: I need help in finding trade paperbacks to buy. I have 2 already and want the whole set the same. I need “Into the Wilderness”, “Fire Along the Sky” and “Queen of [...]

workshop ‘09, day 2: who-two & hey, no interest in a hundred bucks?

rosina — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 08:00:25 +0000

Whether or not you posted your ideas about a character yesterday, you can jump in here. When you looked at yesterday’s photo, some ideas popped into your head. Some details about the life and times of one of those two adults. Many of you already were considering conflicts – the kind that are internal to a [...]

Conflagration: Organization

rosina — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 16:12:45 +0000

So here’s something out of the ordinary for me. I’m going to start posting a novel I’ve been working on, off and on, for about four years. Nobody has seen any of this before, with the exception of one beta reader. It’s called (working title) Conflagration. I believe it falls into the realm of science fiction. [...]

workshop ‘09 day 1: who?

rosina — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 12:00:50 +0000

Paperback Writer has got this workshop thing started with a huge bang. Her first post is about high concept, and it’s probably the clearest and most useful discussion of that difficult-to-define topic I’ve ever run into. Really. Also, it’s chock full of linky goodness. I really can’t recommend it highly enough. Lynn is one of the [...]

who jumped out of the (pork pie) hat: writing wildly

rosina — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 00:31:23 +0000

As there were fewer than forty entries, Writing Wildly (here’s hers) will get one my books, signed, hardcover. WW, could you please send me your mailing address? She also had some questions. For one, she wanted to know what kind of hat she was hoping to jump out of. Read more here. I’m particularly fond of the [...]

paperbackwriter-ish virtual workshop

rosina — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 21:57:12 +0000

Okay, so, y’all came up with a lot of ideas and pretty much every topic raised was something I could and/or should write about. As far as actual workshop type stuff, the only hints were that people like the writing prompts I do now and then. So I’m going to follow Paperback Writer’s example (Lynn, you [...]

stampede on over to Amazon, wouldja? and email audible while you’re at it.

The first two novels in the Wilderness series and Homestead are still not available on Kindle, and I’m getting pretty irritated, I have to admit. I’ve been rattling my cage about this for a good long while. I’m hoping that if readers speak up (that’s all y’all) maybe it will speed things up. So if [...]
