#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

#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

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.

#SATurday The Sting of #BookRelease Day

Shannon A Thompson9 Comments

Release days are like bees. (How’s that simile?) If you’re like me, you both hate and love bees…and I’m unusually (and pathetically) terrified of them…even though I’ve only been stung once…and even then, I hated them long before one stung me at a bus stop while I was innocently sitting, doing nothing to deserve the… Continue reading #SATurday The Sting of #BookRelease Day

Shannon A Thompson11 Comments

Intro: I’m passionate about many things, but writing and traveling top my list, and I find myself combining them all the time. Need a location for a story? Hey, that place I saw last summer would be perfect. Need something more exotic ? Maybe something surreal? Combining and creating comes into play. Today, our guest blogger,… Continue reading #MondayBlogs Writing About Real and Imaginary Locations

#MondayBlogs: It’s Never Too Late To Start Writing Your Best Seller

Shannon A Thompson12 Comments

Intro: I love infographics. How many times have I said that on here? They are fantastic. Quick, fun, and reliable, I’ve always had a good time seeing stats unfolded on a beautiful display for all to see, and this one is no exception. As writers, we are often way too hard on ourselves, and I… Continue reading #MondayBlogs: It’s Never Too Late To Start Writing Your Best Seller

#WW Real-Life Characters Behind a Novel

Shannon A Thompson4 Comments

Everyone knows the author is not the only person behind a novel’s creation. Publishers, editors, cover artists, and formatters are just a few of the technical people behind the masterpiece. Bloggers, reviewers, beat readers, and readers are just a couple of the people who help spread the masterpiece. But there’s another type of person who… Continue reading #WW Real-Life Characters Behind a Novel
