Writing Wednesday: Author’s Voices vs. Narrators

Posted on May 4, 2022 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Last Week’s Goals Blog posts out on schedule. A submission returned from market and was sent out again. A contest I entered was canceled due to lack of interest (and the accompanying fees.) There are now nine days until my next scheduled release day (May 13th) and I still haven’t decided what it will be. … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: How Does Your Story Sound?

Posted on February 23, 2022 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

One of the great pieces of advice for writers is to read your story OUT LOUD. For most of us, that means hiding in a bunker somewhere so no one can hear what you’ve written. Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Getting the Right Voices and Keeping Them

Posted on July 12, 2021 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

When I listened to George Guidall reading Neil Gaiman’s American Gods some things struck me. First of all, what I take as the narrator’s true voice – and Wednesday’s – sounded remarkably like Anthony Hopkins in the Marvel Thor movies (trying not to do a spoiler here, but there’s a link between that role and … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: What Influences My Writing

Posted on September 30, 2020 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Last Week’s Goals I made my blog posts as usual; in my None of my stories returned from markets, so they are still remaining out there like Heinlein told us they should be. My next release will be October 23rd (WEIRD, But Not TOO Scary Tales, already set up for preorders and presales – see … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Why I Read

Posted on February 12, 2020 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Last week’s goals: Three blog posts made as usual, and I continue to keep up with commenting on other people’s posts. I currently have six unpublished stories making the rounds of the markets. I just discovered a couple of sites to help me find new markets (they’ve been around a while, I’m sure, but I … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Regaining Helpful Habits

Posted on February 5, 2020 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Last week’s goals: Three blog posts made as usual, and I continue to stay ahead of commenting on other people’s posts. I’m getting back in the swing of rotating my stories to potential markets ASAP – just having trouble now finding open, appropriate markets. I’m most of the way through reading (as usual, a euphemism … 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: Reading with My Ears

Posted on April 3, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Stats from last week: Posted three of my own blog posts as usual, and commented on enough of other people’s blogs to satisfy my quota. Still have a couple of stories hanging in limbo because I can’t find an open market (“Date Night” and “Schizo the Magnificent”.)  One of them will be my next ePub … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Connecting with Humanity

Posted on February 11, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

I’m almost done reading book eleven of The Wheel of Time. Well – since I can barely find sit-down time, when I’m sitting, I’m writing. All my reading is done by someone else (thank you, Audible), and all I’m really doing is listening while I’m driving. And guffawing. I’m not a guffawer, and yet here … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: The Clarity of Fresh Eyes

Posted on January 30, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Last week’s goals: Three blog posts. Still looking for an open market to send “Date Night” to. Socialized sufficiently on other people’s blogs. My March 12th release will be “Reining Cats and Dogs” (Herc Tom, Champion of the Empire #7), but I still haven’t started prepping the eBook yet. Need to start soon so I … Continue reading →
