Based on David Farland’s Daily Kick about what authors are trying to accomplish with their writing, I’m going to state my mission. David’s words: I’m often surprised by how few authors have really thought about what it is that they’re trying to accomplish. Do you want to be considered an entertainer? A prophet who forewarns [...]

more writerly stuff
no daily prompt inspired me, so I’m continuing from yesterday. I did my first upload on FeedBooks (Vive la France!), hope to add more during the week(end). It will be all free reads, because at the moment it’s the only thing you can upload there (along with public domain stuff). So there goes – they [...]

Pseudonyms and other career plans
I’ve been following a few pro-authors in the past year, two are very much for self-publishing on Kindle, one is still the voice of reason. While Joe Konrath and Dean Wesley Smith keep showing indie authors can have success and the old world of publishing is slowly crumbling, David Farland is still cautious about it. [...]

Story Wednesday and a Daily Kick
Before you hop off to Serial Central for the conclusion of Jessamine, I thought to share this Daily Kick from David Farland, as I received it in my inbox. My #1 priority is definitely writing, but if family or friends call, I’m ready! David Farland’s Daily Kick in the Pants—“Protecting the Work” How important is [...]

News from the world
I’m going to start with the passing of Frank Frazetta. Not a Conan fan, I never really appreciated his art, I guess. But then David Farland‘s Daily Kick in the Pants told me something about the person. Wow. Now I’m sorry I didn’t meet him. Because he was a nice person, not because I wanted [...]

pot-pourri
I’m going to ramble a little, here. First about Vonda N.McIntyre “Pitfalls of writing sci-fi&fantasy“. The “As you know, George” (pitfal #1), a.k.a. “As you know, Bob” in screenwriting luckily doesn’t pop up in my writing anymore, but I still see it here and there. And it’s not only in sci-fi& fantasy either. Expository lumps [...]

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...-
