Blog Update on Activity

If you look at the dates for all of the posts on this blog except for the first one, you'll notice they're all the same. That's because I have finally committed to this blog. While I can't promise that I'll post every day, I can promise that I will post. It seems to me that I hold onto to information for a while; I'll let it all build up, and then decide to just have one big post-dump. I'll try to change that and post more regularly.

As for upcoming posts, expect rants on the struggles and joys of writing. Maybe some posts on editing as well. I want to provide more meaningful and useful posts than just my opinions or personal experiences however and will be looking into more options to do so.

P.S. - A huge thank you to all of the authors who agreed to be interviewed. As you can see, your support has populated over half of my blog posts at the time of writing. So thank you for your patience and kindness.

The Writing Process...or at least My Writing Process

Hi all (or any at all) readers! My name is Leonard Foster, and I'm a beginning author trying to self-publish my first short story, Indigo .  I've been working on it for only about a month, and I have completed the initial draft and am currently enduring the editing process...which is terrible, but that's for another post. This post is about the elusive "Writing Process" or actually my own since elements of the process are different for each author. Hopefully this post will be thoughtful, hopefully you can relate, and hopefully it won't be a waste of your time. But if it is, I appreciate you wasting your valuable time with me. So here it goes... When I began teasing ideas of what my first short story (or any published work) would be about, I came up with an idea about a man (nameless) from the city of Everyday who, one night, visits a bizarre night club called The Velvet Underground. (That name comes from the Fleetwood Mac song, Gypsy , since this story ide

Kendra Radke - Interview

Q: Please introduce yourself. A: I have a lot of names.  Mom, writer, author, blogger, K.E. Radke, one who eats too much, but we can stick to Kendra.  Not a popular name, but it’s hard to forget when you’re usually the only one. Q: What are you working on now? A: Zombies! And the sequel to Dead Man’s Hand. I finished my third book in October and am currently procrastinating before I go through a line by line edit. So I decided while I procrastinate I’d kill a bunch of people in the mean time. I actually found an awesome pinterest meme about authors killing off characters that I wish I could share right now. If you have time look me up Keradkebooks, its under the board: bookish truths. Q:  Why did you decide to write your current work? A:  The zombie book was this year, to pinpoint it exactly probably in September. It’s an impulse write. Does that make sense? I suffer from word vomit and when I get an idea it has to be written. Good, bad and the ugly words all have to put on th

Caitlin Walsh - Interview

Q: Please introduce yourself. A: My name is Caitlin Walsh and I am from Rockford Illinois. I’m 25 years old and a graduate of Northern Illinois University. I have Bachelor’s degrees in psychology, sociology, and criminology. I’m legally blind, I am a musician, and an animal lover. Q:  What are you working on now? A:  I’m working on my own blog currently, as well as a novel. I don’t have a working title for the novel but I’ve been working on it for three years on and off, in the last couple of months I’ve tackled it seriously and plan to publish. I’m editing it now, the story is finished. I had to flesh out a character that kind of got overlooked in the original draft. I’m also changing some locations around so things make more sense. Q:  Why did you decide to write your current work? A:  My current novel was inspired by a combination of V. C. Andrews works and Stephen king. I’ve always written for as long as I can remember, and it’s been my way of dealing with pain. My mother
