First an announcement: Stories for Sendai, the charity anthology for the Japanese earthquake, will be on sale until Dec.15. I’m still reading it and hope to review it by then, but I have a busy book-fair week and not much time to read. So hop now to buy your copy before it goes out of [...]

Linky Saturday
OK, a few links for your weekend. David Gaughran on incorporating historical figures into a narrative with a very good example from his own book. He’s also a guest at Joe Konrath’s blog with his own experience. Dean Wesley Smith links to Penguin’s decision to moving to POD and Joe Konrath acts as Writers Beware [...]

on publishing
Michelle pointed me to a series of post by agent Sarah Polla and I’m giving you all the links here. It’s interesting because it’s an agent’s view of self-publishing – and we thought agents didn’t care! Here goes the self-publishing/indie-publishing week at an agent’s blog: What’s the deal with self-publishing Interview with Marilyn Peake Interview [...]

Links and introducing Indie Publishing Week
Wow, another week gone. Geez. So, lots of links this time. First guidelines (genre writers, I’m afraid). Daily Science Fiction (and fantasy – mostly flash fiction, delivered daily to your inbox) – submission guidelines. Angry Robot is open to unsolicited submissions (SF/F/H only) for this month only – you have another 10 days to check [...]

More links and a new upload!
Busy weekend and Monday afternoon with all the Six Sentence Sunday snippets to read and those pro-blogs to check. Here’s the list of posts worth checking! Amanda Hocking in her own words and as seen by Jim C.Hines. Books&Such agents give advice on self-publishing – and it’s not that bad! Dean Wesley Smith is starting [...]

Saturday links
February is gone, the shortest month of the year… but I found many interesting posts this week, so let’s get down to business! Dean Wesley Smith on the history of novel length and what is expected in the new world of publishing! Personally, I struggled to bring my novels to 90.000words, so I’m very happy [...]

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. [...]

Spam and DailyPost Prompts
We all get Spam. Akismet (on WordPress, dunno about other blogging platforms) does a very good job at stopping them, but sometimes you have to adjust manually - a spam-pingback requesting approval or a real comment with two links that goes in the spam folder. Nobody (and nothing) is perfect, right? But when I saw [...]

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...-
