Self-Publishing. Feeling All Alone? Living Life As A Writer.

I read Kristen Lamb’s blog every week. She lives life as a writer and always offers, what I call Golden Oreos,  those gems of wisdom that keep the soul of a writer nourished and hungry for more—more Golden Oreos, more time to write, more writers acknowledging that it is a divine endeavor that no one gets, not even friends and family.

 Golden Oreo #1 For Today

“The world’s job is to stop us from writing. 
Our ego is our enemy. 
Our insecurities would love to burn us and our dreams to the ground. 
Friends and family are often enemy agents.”
Lamb and Kennedy to the rescue.

If you are living life as a writer, and need to validate your dream today, check out Kristen Lamb’s blog. And if you need help with social media as way to build a platform and market your book, Lamb offers excellent advice in her books. She makes you laugh and learn at the same time.

(I just, today, learned what a hyperlink is and how to do it from her book on blogging.)

Also

I read Marcy Kennedy. What Kennedy offers are books on the mechanics of writing for—get this—The BUSY Writer. Who isn’t overwhelmed these days with heaps of responsibilities that flatten our spirits with ever increasing, never decreasing, demands. The demands bring to mind Texas golf-ball sized hail bashing my brains to bits and pieces.
I have read all her books. They are quick, easy to read, yet offer an abundance of valuable information, and you do NOT have to wade through bucket loads of BS to find the important stuff. It’s all important—bare bones and essential. Her books make great protection in a hail storm.
Kennedy’s Busy Writer’s Guide series include:

 

 

 

Frozen is Marcy Kennedy’s fiction short story collection. Chilling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today’s Golden Oreo #2

“Let the writer take up surgery or bricklaying if he is interested in technique. 
There is no mechanical way to get the writing done, no shortcut. 
The young writer would be a fool to follow a theory. 
Teach yourself by your own mistakes; people learn only by error. 
The good artist believes that nobody is good enough to give him advice. 
He has supreme vanity. 
No matter how much he admires the old writer, he wants to beat him.”
 ― William Faulkner (1897-1962)

Though Faulkner’s works were published as early as 1919, and largely during the 1920s and 1930s, he remained relatively unknown until receiving the 1949 Noble Prize In Literature.

The Science Fiction Reality blog is a little science, a little fiction, a little about writing, and a lot of real.
