Okay, a whole week and no one else has posted. I refuse to let this thread die. I know some of you blogged last week. I follow you. It only takes a minute to post a link here.

I'm a bit behind on everything right now. Those in the mid Atlantic US might know about the Derecho that clobbered us late night on June 30. My area didn't get its power back until after 5pm on July 4, so I've been playing catch-up ever since. I've got plenty of paper notebooks, and I actually remember how to use a pen , so I very much wrote during this time...just not anything in cyberspace. The transcriptions are in progress.

Hey guys. If I can figure out how to post a link here I will happily update with my blog posts. Here is the address of my latest post, at any rate.

After three months of shame (no posts), I updated with a status page of a new series and a couple of posts, including a description of the technique I did to write a 260,000 word trilogy in four months (including a rewrite pass).
If you click on the Shattuk Downs Novels link at the top, you'll see the cover art and blurbs I did for the series.
That's it for now but there are more, one on John Levitt and a Mars Video link, an update PS on Alchemy ideas.
I came back to say that I forgot to add that there's no Batman crits...or any for any other movie. But there will be one for a book soon...no Batman....

First of all I thought about putting up my little 9/11 story. Kinda of fantasy dealing with what happened and our response. I need to update it though but first I have to find it. I may have posted it last year.
Still would like a few more followers even though I seem to have more readers lately. They are quicker anyway. Posts: 5289 | Registered: Jun 2010

Good one, MaryAnn. There are definitely some common motiffs that successful stories share. The problem I see is that a successful idea gets picked up and over-used until it turns into a cliche. Then it gets dropped like a used up toy.

Very true Martin. Thus all the Twilight and Harry Potter clones. I think the trick is to make the story different enough that it feels fresh even though it has a lot of those classic elements of those popular stories that have come before.
Anyway, that isn't how I write. I'm not chasing the market. I just write what I want to write. Posts: 1102 | Registered: May 2009

PS: Umm, while I clicked that link you provided, my AVG reported a threat on your page. It's called JavaScript Obfuscation (?)

I have no idea what that is. It's a WordPress blog and I have no idea how I could have obfuscated any javascript. Nothing on it comes from an outside source... I did mess with the picture-thing in the upper right hand corner that rotates through my book covers, but I didn't touch the script.

I finally have the new version of my blog site, Bloggathah, up and running!
I'm still tweaking it to my liking, but I'm getting there. For those who have the old 46thcyber.com links posted on their blogs, I've set that URL to redirect to this site, to save you the maintenance effort.
