Because I have low blood pressure. Because I want to hibernate and wake up when it’s cooler. Because even if I’m always cold, I’d rather be cold in winter than suffer in the summer heat. Because during the summer I can’t eat much (which is a wonderful diet, but I don’t really need one). Because [...]

sigh
Hope your weekend was better than mine. Saturday morning i caught a virus/worm (in the form of a “malware detector” no less, how wicked is that?) that blocked my PC – my brother saved the day, BUT I still can’t reinstall the printer, the driver fails to install, so I can scan, I have a [...]

Thoughts and rants
During the weekend I had a spam comment on an old post which prompted me some reflections. Over one year ago my six impossible things were “the usual”: 1) Find an agent 2) Publish a novel (first step of MANY ) 3) Start the Silvery Earth web page 4) Become a best selling author in [...]

Air in print part 2
Ahem, hello dear regular reader of this crazy blog! News from the indie publishing front: I have now made available a US version of Air for those who like reading on dead trees and live in the US. It’s cheaper when shipped to a US address and is made on “publisher” paper with digest size [...]

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
Before pointing you to Serial Central for the next episode of Jessamine, I will have another thought or two from my two-weeks vacation. That’s because I didn’t have time to catch up on the other blogs yet, so I don’t have anything to comment on, except this article, and these excellent words of wisdom: You [...]

self-publishing… or not
OK, today I’m concentrating on Self-Published Author’s Lounge. Most of these posts are in the “Why self-publishing is good” section, some from the “post-publication concerns”. In no particular order: Reasons to self-publish and one reason not to. Point 1 Your manuscript will not fit into the industry. My romances don’t fit either the Christian market [...]

Lulu complaints
I googled the two words of the title as suggested by someone in the comments to the article on self-publishing and quite a lot of replies came out. I read only the first ones (pasted on a word.doc and read them off-line as usual…) and was kind of taken aback by all the complaints. Some [...]

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...-
