After struggling with 2 documents for different reasons (an old Word.doc from 2004 and a brand new OpenOffice.doc typed on 2 different PCs), I think I know what the problem is. In spite of having the same version of OpenOffice on Desktop and Laptop, they don’t work the same way. Desktop (Old Guy) can’t accept [...]

Linky Friday
First an announcement: Stories for Sendai, the charity anthology for the Japanese earthquake, will be on sale until Dec.15. I’m still reading it and hope to review it by then, but I have a busy book-fair week and not much time to read. So hop now to buy your copy before it goes out of [...]

on publishing
Michelle pointed me to a series of post by agent Sarah Polla and I’m giving you all the links here. It’s interesting because it’s an agent’s view of self-publishing – and we thought agents didn’t care! Here goes the self-publishing/indie-publishing week at an agent’s blog: What’s the deal with self-publishing Interview with Marilyn Peake Interview [...]

Catching up and links
So, seems like blog serendipity (or web word of mouth) made a couple of people talk about the same thing last week. Both Stephen and Colleen Doran pointed to the Cook Source editor bad behavior. Strange Writer Beware didn’t point to it too. It IS a scam if an editor steals your work and doesn’t [...]

Random links and rants
In the past week I found a few interesting posts I’d like to share. First Justin’s Awkward Writing series on sex, gore and… love! My beta-reader (who is male) told me I’m good with “romantic” moments, so I’m wondering if this “love writing” awkwardness is only for males or also for women… I’m not very [...]

Agents rant
They say every writer needs an agent. Well, not according to Neil Gaiman, but he’s Neil Gaiman, and he did answer the question about agents – in his own way – here. Then there’s Colleen Doran’s list of “good agents” who also sends to Preditors & Editors (recommended also by Piers Anthony). But there are [...]

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...-
