1. 3-D Characterization Online Workshop


Jul 14-Aug 8 2008


What a Character!!! Jump from Cookie Cutter to Great 3-Dimensional Characters in Your Writing!


How many times have you heard how important it is to have 3-dimensional characters? That the publisher wants character-driven stories, not plot-driven? To show, not tell? But how easy is it to really write characters that come alive on the page? Some writers have a natural ability to concoct terrific characters who are full of life. Then there are the rest of us who need some help. In this workshop, Terry Spear will show the difference between average characterizations and those that will get noticed! In this online class, which features lectures, discussion, practical exercises, and handouts, she'll teach students how to captivate readers with engaging characters.

3 lessons per week, plus mini-lessons, critique and comment on everyone's exercises!

Terry Spear has published in many genres, including romantic suspense, contemporary, paranormal, and under the name Terry Lee Wilde, young adult paranormal and fantasy romances. She's the author of Winning The Highlander's Heart (Vintage), The Vampire...In My Dreams, Deadly Liaisons (Samhain), Heart of the Wolf, April, 2008 Don't Cry Wolf, April 2009, Betrayal of the Wolf, Allure of the Wolf (Sourcebooks), Deidre's Secret, Relative Danger (Wild Rose Press). She also writes nonfiction for numerous genealogy, WWII, teen, and family magazines, and has had romantic fiction published in magazines. Currently, she's working on her latest werewolf adult novel, Allure of the Wolf. Her website: http://www.terryspear.com/

2. Friday Procrastination: Link Love

Kirsty expertly handled link love last week so some of these links are a week old- but I think they are still relevant. So get busy procrastinating!

Web 2.0 isn’t exactly democratic but does it matter if it works?

Jeff Jarvis’s tribute to twitter.

A visual tour through 79 years of Best Picture awards. My favorite poster is GiGi. (more…)

3. The Witcher--RPG anyone?


I finally went out and bought The Witcher....with the caveat I could not play it until I got some of my writing done....and reviewing done...and blogging done. But then when my son came home from college, we had to "check" it out just to make sure it's working. Got to or if I waited to late I couldn't take it back to the store, right?

Right.

And then I had to play a little of it. Just a little. Okay, well, maybe just to the next quest. Uhm, one more quest. Another quest. Well, this is going to be the very last quest! Sigh.

My daughter wants to play too...but she's better than me....too much school work she needs to finish before she gets hooked on the game.

They're addictive. What can I say? It's like reading a good book, which I also did last night and will be posting a review shortly on WritersareReaders.com, but if the story hooks you enough, you keep reading. The game hooks you enough, you keep playing.

After a very violent stormy night and a stormy day, I'm concentrating on editing Betrayal of the Wolf and writing the review of Where the Heart Leads. After that???

I'm gonna help the witchers out and learn some more powerful magic spells, I hope. :) Oh, and find something better than a rusty sword too. And solve just a quest...or two.

4. PYBOT: Oscar


This is one of the first drawing challenges I did with fellow artists. The subject was "Oscar the Grouch doesn't need your pity". Here's my version.
