Since I was the nag who pleaded for this thread... I blog quite a lot and this is a new series I started about the various promotional openings for new authors (or anyone else). This week - communities. The golden rule: give more than you take

I've posted a number of my recent flash fictions and prose poems on my Mansions of the Mind blog.

I actually have two blogs the previously mentioned one for more creative/fiction/poetry type stuff and the second one - The Bleeding Edge which is more focused on non-fiction, essays, science topics

Nice links, Kenny. Um, I ranted.

Wow, Jo, that post has me thinking about my own story. I'm more likely to torture my characters emotionally than physically, but now I wonder if I'm achieving the reality of their situations in the way I'm hoping to. Thanks for the post!

Oh, wow, thank you. I'm glad it was thought provoking.

Nice, Kenny.

Following on from my author's spotlight where I decided a rock opera by Muse is the only way forwards this is the detail of the playlist (and a bit of fun )

Just put up a post about ScienceFiction.com syndicating chapters of my book
MichaelGilmour.com

 

[Jo Zebedee]

@michaelgilmour - are you going to share the Tickety boo one? I really liked it.

Anyhow, I blogged about my new book, about an alien invasion of Belfast, and mused on why on Earth I thought of that one:

Jo,
Thanks for reminding me about the guest blog on Ticket Boo Press! I think that this is the only place that I haven't let people know about it.
For those that are interested....here's a link:
Michael Gilmour Chats About His Self-Published Book Battlframe...
The blog covers some funny behind the scenes anecdotes about the writing of Battleframe. I hope that everyone enjoys it!

 

[Jo Zebedee]

That was the one.

I guest blogged about deciding to invert a trope and the risk that it might make my work feel, um... Trope-ish...

I had a bit of a muse about taking critiques, especially ones that sting like hell:

And, I'll double post, because I think this might be a useful writing related one - I posted about how I use the Johari window to frame character interactions:
