First I’ll send you to Smashwords blog for a post on new viral catalysts. I’m also reading Mark Coker’s Secrets to e-publishing success, but I’ll do a full review when I’m done, LOL. Well, I’ve read the part where Mark Coker credits Joleene Naylor for his new cover… I should hire her for my future [...]

Writer Wednesday
So, I missed a Sunday post, LOL! You can tell I needed a break… And great break it was! Five days without writing, and reading very little. But still mulling about ongoing projects, and discussing writing with other creators, so the break was only from the actual writing. And no, I don’t feel guilty because [...]

Writerly updates
So, the publishing year is closed for me with 5 novels and 15 other – mostly shorter – books under the Unicorn Productions umbrella with another pen-name writing contemporary fiction in English and the Italian one. I uploaded more (cheaper) titles on Kindle as well, and even managed to duplicate one, yikes! Blame it on [...]

Friday read
It should have been a Review Friday, but as I said, these two weeks are a little exceptional. First of all I wanted to point you to the six sentences of a lovely lady who wrote this piece about a child, but I could recognize myself in it even if I’m no longer a child. [...]

Battle of graphic novels
… or Mercenaries?! vs SKYBAND. Have you read Ludwig’s guest post on Leigh’s blog last week? I promised to reply to him… so here I am! I did “the gathering” of those five for a “contest” (it was by a friend, who had only two entries, so we were both winners… no comment on that…) [...]

My other (former) Muse
This has been (tiled) on my desktop since 2000. The beginning of the obsession with the Muse, already mentioned Keanu Reeves. The other guy (yeah, he’s a guy. I LOVE long-haired guys! ) is Mark Slaughter, frame taken from the Days gone by video I posted a few days ago. Slaughter were my favorite band [...]

The “new” Waiora
As most bloggers are on hiatus for the Holidays, I don’t have links to share this Saturday. So I thought I’d update my readers about the Waiora, or water people. Once upon a time they were called “Vetrolandiani” (something akin to Glasslandians), they were completely human, had translucent tunics and here’s a very old drawing [...]

Graphic novels & screenplays
Because I don’t expect everybody to read my comments on this or other blogs, I thought I’d do a specific post on the different sorts of writing I’ve tackled through the years. First the difference between novel, illustrated novel and graphic novel, as I have figured it out on my own. A novel is, of [...]

graphic novels and writing challenges
Again, a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Last week I went to the international bookshop in Rome to buy a voucher for my sister’s b-day and found “Twilight – the graphic novel”. I’m not too fond of vampires (I’ve read the first 3 Ann Rice books and seen only 3 [...]

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...-
