OK, another week is almost done, what can I say? I might be very self-centered this week, but even if I’m starting from my writing, I’m rambling about life at large. So, it’s about CVE3 again (can you tell I’m having a blast at rewriting something that is 20+years old?) – I got to the [...]

Writer Wednesday
Apparently Scott Turow’s rant against Amazon was a faux pas rebutted by Joe Konrath & Barry Eilser (who also mention David Gaughran‘s excellent post on the topic and add an open letter to Mr Turow by author Suzanne White) – it’s a long read, but worth it. My take on the whole paper vs.ebooks or [...]

on reviews
because tomorrow I plan on doing a post on what I read this year and what I recommend, I thought it would be a good timing doing another post on reviews. There’s an ongoing discussion on Goodreads about the importance of negative reviews and how one should (or shouldn’t) react to them, as well as [...]

Holidays non-break
Hope you all had a great Christmas. Me, I just spent it at home, apart from the obligatory visits to mum’s (24th evening and 25th lunch) – also because I ate too much (or too differently) and was sick on the 25th afternoon! So I spent this long weekend as usual, reading, drawing and watching [...]

What’s in a bag?
Last year some (female) bloggers showed the contents of their bags. Then Stephen mentioned his notebooks (BTW, Dear Wife’s gift is really gorgeous!), so I thought I’d share what’s in this writer’s bag. Here’s the evidence. The moleskine is almost full, so I’ll start the new one (that I got as a gift that very [...]

weekend trip
Last Friday I hopped on a train to get my latest treasure, original art by Terry Moore. Except that my printer broke, and not only does it refuse to print, but it even refuses to scan. Therefore I took a very bad picture of it, because today I came back after sunset, so had to [...]

Story Wednesday and a poll
First of all I’d like to welcome new author Maimoona Rahman on Serial Central. She has started posting her story on Mondays, so check her out. Also, I’d like to say our Monday Lady, Lua, will be back on Serial Central soon, on Saturdays, from December – at the end of Janna‘s story Kharma’s way. [...]

Art Sunday
Wow, lots of extra posts this week! But after a visit to Shafali’s blog and seeing the Brad Pitt caricature, I couldn’t help to post here the portrait I did from the same pic… of course it’s a different technique (and I trace from pics in this case), but well… thought would be good to [...]

My conlang
On her fantasy rants, Limyaael talks about creating your own conlang without being Tolkien. The original posts are here (part 1, part 2, part 3 and part 4). I gave it a thought myself, after deciding the history of languages of Silvery Earth and decided that Human dialects will be based on [...]

10 things to do when you have an image and nothing else
Again Limyaael gave me an idea of a post. Here she gives 10 things to do when you have an image and nothing else. I sometimes do that – I make a drawing/illustration and AFTER come up with the story. So I give you a drawing I did for a story that I never wrote… [...]

My name is Barb, and I'm a writer, sometimes an artist, mostly a world-creator and storyteller of fantasy worlds. I have more than one pen-name and write in more than one genre.
I blog about life, the universe... OK, you can guess I'm a writer, but not Douglas Adams, so I'll leave the Hitchhiker's Guide aside. And no, I'm not going to spam you by only rambling about my books - if you're interested, just go to the dedicated pages, thank you.
This is my blog, about the "creative barbwire" that I am - there's no rose without thorns, right?
Enjoy...-
