Lately I’ve been scheduling posts very late, like at 9 or 10pm (Italy time) which means full daylight for you guys on the other side of the ocean: the WordPress servers were jammed, and I usually had to finish my drafts in the morning, before the alarm clock set off. So I don’t have posts [...]

Daily prompt?

Because I still have limited internet access, 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 are [...]

Halves
I’ve been thinking (too much!) lately, maybe it’s the summer heat that fries my brain, but well, here it is: I’m always half-something. Half-lady (or half-princess) – I’m too old to be an adventurer and warrior woman, I want my comforts. But I’m not a full lady either, don’t care about my looks, don’t get [...]

Musings on The Devil’s Guide to Hollywood
I love how Joe (I’ll skip the Hungarian unwritable family name) talks about Mc Kee and other screenwriter gurus who have never written a screenplay in their lives. I like his humor, even if he obviously talks to male writers, as if he didn’t consider women writers at all… but whatever. He’s the screenwriter as [...]

the traveling writer
I’ve been to London so often, I now almost call it home. I forget to bring maps and cameras (luckily the Tube maps are always free) and to check the engineering works on weekends. The first time I saw it was during my first trip to England back in 1981. I was 15 and Carnaby [...]

Improvising…
a nice thing to do on Saturday mornings! Today I meant to write whatever came up to my mind, maybe thinking back to this first month of blogging. I had said to myself “Ignore those damn stats, it’s early, what do you expect!”, but a not-so-busy morning at the office (yesterday) made me notice a [...]

I like to think (and used to say) that I’m the World’s Humblest Author. I’m not, I guess. I mean, I don’t mind rewriting, adjusting plots and adding a few things here and there – helps me to think more about a story anyway, so it’s not wasted time – but some comments still drive [...]

life, the universe…
thank you Douglas Adams for this line. I have a day job, and sometimes it’s sort of lonely. That’s why I’m improvising this piece in my free time at work. Rants, of course. About life, the universe, etc. I’ve been thinking about a world without borders. Without sickness. Without pain. I believe we’re close to [...]

Public figure?
mmm. Yeah, I guess. Even if I barely started putting out stuff. But soon I’ll be a (self)published author, therefore a public figure. Glad I decided to use pen-names. Barb is the writer-artist-creator of the graphic novels and illustrations. Barbara G.Tarn is the writer of novels and short stories collections. Both mean “Creative Goddess of [...]

ramblings and diaries
In the beginning there were notebooks. I write a diary since I was 12, but during high school I felt the need to write down things even during class hours. So I started bringing notebooks to school, hidden among the official ones, to give vent to those rants on my beloved boys – always unattainable, otherwise [...]

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...-
