Finally my computer seems to be back online (maybe the threat to be thrown out and substituted with Borrowed Laptop scared it enough to start working again! ), so I hope to catch up with what happened in the past week, when none of the web pages opened for me (in fact I made a [...]

NaNoWriMo and other links
So, it’s November and it looks like a bunch of you out there is doing the NaNo. Here’s a list of people I know (and who might know each other, LOL) who participate this year: Joleene, Kenra, Leigh, Loralee, Lydia, Melissa, the Storytelling Nomad and even a guy, Terry! Support each other and churn out those [...]

The discoveries
Because I have no internet access this week, I’m “recycling” old posts of the first month of this blog – I’m guessing it will be something new for all of us. The first comments were on November 28, 2009 (thanks to the Australian ladies Cassandra & Prue + Sevvy – where are you?) and these [...]

blogging – part 2
OK, I don’t know how I stumbled on this post. Probably tag-surfing again. Anyway, I went to download the e-book Blogging Blueprint and read it all (yes, Glen, thank you so very much for putting it out). Now, that was a lesson. I’ll have to mull it over, though. Unfortunately, I’m not young and techno-savvy [...]

an unfortunate accident on WeRead
I was kind of happy to see my comic-book Lady Ice listed on Amazon… except when I went on WeRead, I saw someone else had claimed authorship of that one and four more comic-books, written and drawn by your humble author. So I retired all of them, except the artbook and a novel in Italian. [...]

Self-publishing
My new guru says: Once your self-published book is a best-seller, traditional publishers may come acallin’. Maybe you’ll be interested. Maybe not. It’s your choice. (David Mathison – Be The Media) I’m not new to self-publishing, I’ve been a ziner in comic-bookdom for ten years – before the internet, when you had to actually go [...]

blogging
I started approximately one month ago, I guess it’s time I start making some points. The stats are still quite low, probably it was silly of me to keep the previous blog private – not many people are very interested in what I have to say anyway. Never mind. These things take time. I started [...]

taking my time
I used to write on impulse, all my stories came out in one draft, almost untouched as I was my only reader. Then I found friends willing to read and comment and the process of editing and rewriting began. It usually takes me some time now to start any new project, be it a story or a [...]

The “discoveries” of an un-technological author
I bought my first PC in the late 90s because, typing with ten fingers, I tended to go out of the sheet with the typewriter. So I bought this PC, Word2.0 and b&w screen. It was great for editing, cutting and pasting without having to retype everything! I still handwrite the very first draft, but [...]

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...-
