Shannon A Thompson18 Comments

So, wow. Yesterday was my three-year anniversary of blogging right here on http://www.ShannonAThompson.com. Three years. My first blog post was on September 25, 2012. I never realized how much my life would change once I started this blog. For instance, back then, I had just started my last year of college at the University of… Continue reading #SATurday Three-Year Blogging Anniversary

#WW Stopping Guest Posts & New Line-Up

Shannon A Thompson8 Comments

Since January of this year, I’ve featured a guest writer every Monday. I was hoping to continue this tradition for at least a year, but with the Christmas season approaching, I’ve been denying articles more than accepting articles (due to the submitted articles mainly being advertisements). That being said, I’ve been very fortunate that so… Continue reading #WW Stopping Guest Posts & New Line-Up

#MondayBlogs Cartoons Make You a Better Writer

Shannon A Thompson16 Comments

Intro: I love cartoons, and I love comic books and manga, and I’m very open about my love for these things. That being said, cartoons and comic books and manga are often depicted as things for children…something I obviously disagree with. J There are many reasons to love cartoons, and today, author Grant Goodman gives… Continue reading #MondayBlogs Cartoons Make You a Better Writer

I love blogging. I love writing articles. I especially love writing articles that readers suggest. That being said, today’s article was inspired by reader, ‪Angela Dellisola‪.

Before I share a letter, here is where you can find Death Before Daylight: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Kobo, Goodreads Don't forget! The first book is free. 🙂 Letter from the author: (Oh, wait.

#MondayBlogs: The Prose Poem

Shannon A Thompson6 Comments

Intro: Poetry is important to me. When readers ask about my background in writing, they are almost always curious about my education regarding writing. More often than not, readers aren’t surprised to hear I studied creative writing in college, but they are surprised when I clarify I spent most of my time studying poetry. In… Continue reading #MondayBlogs: The Prose Poem

#SATurday: Writing Update: Take Me Yesterday

Shannon A Thompson4 Comments

I’m writing this blog post before I announce I’m working on Take Me Yesterday, book 2 of The Tomo Trilogy, but I’ve probably shown you a teaser by now. (This time warp I live in—two weeks before my life is posted—is still rather strange, but it is especially ironic in this case.) For those of… Continue reading #SATurday: Writing Update: Take Me Yesterday

#WW Writing in Limbo

Shannon A Thompson10 Comments

This may be personal in regards to my writing life, but I’d be surprised if it were unique to me. During and right after a book release, it’s difficult for me to write. Not because I don’t want to, but because I end up spending hours upon hours on Luna-P (a.k.a. my lappy toppy) for interviews,… Continue reading #WW Writing in Limbo

Shannon A Thompson9 Comments

Intro: Writer’s block. Oh, horrid writer’s block! It’s such a common fear (and problem) with many writers, and today’s guest blogger, C.S. Wilde, tackles the topic fearlessly and humorously.  Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in guest articles are those of the author/s and do not necessarily reflect my own. To show authenticity of the… Continue reading #MondayBlogs: Things to Do When You’re Suffering from Writer’s Block
