Weird Yet Wonderful

I ran across this the other day and it just had to be shared. Its fun, interesting, and slightly disturbing all at once. Just as I think my writing should be.

So enjoy Brad W. Fosters's Corner of the Weird

If you know of something fun, odd, or eccentric please post it in comments! I love finding new gems of insanity. :-D

Beware the Turtle!

As writers we generally tend to the introverted side of things. Or at least I do. I like to hide in my shell typing away and then peak out just long enough to submit.

I think that's why it's taken me so long to get as far as I have.

We need to be fearless in going after life. Experience new things and be surrounded by people we can observe and learn from. And then, when we have taken it all and crafted our stories with it, we have to go after the publishers and editors like mad.

Perfect example.

Awww, Oh No! HA HA!!

OK I was going to save this for a saturday silly, but its just too funny to wait. I love it! Not only is it hilarious to me, but it works perfectly for what we want our stories to do.

First introduce you characters in a way so the readers care about them.

Second have something horrible happen to them.

And last but not least, make it worthwhile.
