Writing Wednesday: Don’t Let a Story Languish – Write It While It’s Hot

Posted on December 23, 2020 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Last Week’s Writing Goals My blog entries all went out on time, and I had a rare occurrence on my blog – SOMEONE ACTUALLY COMMENTED!!! It wasn’t anything approaching a conversation – just a compliment, but at least I know it’s possible for people to do it on my blog… I discovered that another site … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Taking a Step Back

Posted on December 16, 2020 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Last Week’s Goals My blog entries all went out on time, and nothing has come back from market recently, so my available stories are circulating out there as Heinlein says they should be. Beyond this blog, I made no additional efforts at marketing aside from Indies Unlimited’s Thrifty Thursdays and Kindle Unlimited Fridays, and hoped … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Dialog and Description

Posted on November 25, 2020 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Last Week’s Goals My blog posts posted on time, and I commented on others’ blogs, plus some extra likes for good measure (having considered the actual value of commenting as it relates to my writing, I have decided to remove this from my goals, and even though I will continue interacting on others’ blogs, I … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Retooling and Rethinking

Posted on January 22, 2020 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Last week’s goals: Three blog posts made, and posted at least three comments on others’ blogs. Stories rotating in and out of market as they and the markets are available. I produced 1,731 words of fiction – not as many words as last week, but pleased with myself for increasing the number of days I … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Shorthand vs Longhand

Posted on January 15, 2020 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Last week’s goals: I made my three blog postings as usual, and continued to be moderately active on other people’s blogs (It helps to do this throughout the week rather than at the end.) Still reading to Brandon Sanderson’s The Way of Kings (it’s a long one – it would help if I wasn’t such … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Skimming and Skimping

Posted on July 15, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

I can appreciate the detail of other writers, but my eyes tend to fly past the colorful words to follow the plots and the characters. This is especially true with something I’m reading for the umpteenth time – like The Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter. But even on a first read, I find … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: A Little About Swordsmaster

Posted on June 26, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Goals update: Last week I made my three blog posts (by now I could just stop reporting this as I make them like clockwork, but it gives me something to feel good about every week, and who knows if I would still make it if I stopped reporting?), and managed to get back to my … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: When Will Enough Be Enough?

Posted on May 22, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Last week’s status: Made my three blog posts as usual, as well as my quota of comments on other blogs. Still looking for a new market for “Schizo the Magnificent”, but not looking for one for “Truth in Advertising” anymore since it will be my June 21st release. Need to prep the eBook. Last week … Continue reading →
