Blue Fire Blog Tour Day 3

 Here's where I am in the world today:


Wednesday, October 6


The Enchanted Inkpot 
An interview with moi. With some new thoughts on process and how your real life can influence your writing style.

Killer Fiction Writers
We All Need a Little Mystery
Finding -- and putting in -- mystery to your story even if it's not a "mystery."

Reverie Book Reviews
Going Once, Going Twice...
Things I learned about writing a sequel and tips to avoid the hassles I ran into.

Addicted to Books
Edits Vs. Revisions: A One on One Death Match
The difference between an edit and a revision, and how you can mentally prepare yourself for rewrites.

I'm going to have a great "what I learned from doing a blog tour" post at the end of this. I'm finding out a lot of cool stuff.

  3. No worries, Angie. With bogs you never know what time zone someone is in :) I have it up now, and thanks for having me over!

    Lydia, there's lots of good stuff planned for the month. I may have bitten off about as much as I can chew, but it's been fun :)

  6. In your interview at The Enchanted Inkpot I really liked the point you made about how in Blue Fire you treated the previous story as if it was backstory. Your approach never occurred to me, I imagine for someone writing a series that would be good advice about how to tackle what to show/leave out/allude to.

  7. I'm enjoying your blog tour and am getting to the ones I can. This is a super crazy week and I'm getting ready for a SCBWI conference. And my daughter just twisted her ankle. So I might not get to all of them. But I'm so happy for you.

  8. I'll be at SCBWI as well. I'm working at the registration booth on Sat from 7:30 - 8am, so if you check in then come by and say hello. Or if you spot me throughout the day :) Sorry about your poor daughter ;( I hope it gets better soon.

    Sophia, that approach kinda came to me out the blue as I was banging my head against the keyboard. But it worked!
