Slowly coming along…
It’s been a little quiet here in the Infamous Scribbler Fortress of … well, I was going to say “Solitude” – but I have a roommate, “Silence” – but I’m marathon-watching my way through the sixth season of Supernatural, “Books” – but that just doesn’t sound very poetical. Let’s just call it the Fortress of…

Writing After the Silence – Noelle M. Kalipetis (Guest Post)
Two feet away from each other, and we never spoke. Our eyes and fingers flew across keys and screens, composing and destroying lives within minutes, totally silent. Suddenly, out of the quiet, there’d be a voice: “Hey, dude, what do you think about this?” And she would commence reading a section of text, carefully constructed…

A Conversation with Jean LeBlanc…
How do you introduce someone like Jean LeBlanc? As a poet? A teacher? A photographer? A philosopher? An old friend? She is: inspiration, guide, mentor, generous editor of works-in-progress and, yes, poet. These words seem ultimately inadequate to describe her. I hope you will excuse the humble introduction, and instead read further to get to know…

Chugging along…
Recently had a couple more reviews show up for Soft Target, which is something that always makes an indie author smile inside, even when we are neck deep in the real job, the real world, and the thousand other projects that seem to creep up on you. But for now, we have hit the big time, #189,105…

A Conversation with Kat Mellon…
About a month and a half ago, I put out a call on the NaNoWriMo Facebook page for authors to message me if they wanted me to feature them on my blog this month. Kat Mellon was one of those authors, and the only one I really didn’t know. She shot me a copy of…

Desultory Friday…
Woke up, checked my email, found a message from Imaginarium, the college lit mag that accepted “Shadow Pool” for publication in its second issue. It had been a while since I received the acceptance letter, and once again I had been wondering if the magazine still existed. This email contained the various changes suggested by…

Submitting, writing, editing, reading, writing, teaching …
…not necessarily in that order. First things, while you’re here, be sure to check out the first Infamous Scribbler guest post ever, namely Jim Reader’s Putting a Little Realism in Your Fantasy. Also, my newest interview is up, this one a Conversation with Dominique Goodall. Check out what she has to say about writing fantasy,…

Guest Post: Putting a Little Realism in Your Fantasy … by, Jim Reader
Welcome to the first guest post here at Infamous Scribbler, this from author and friend Jim Reader, who holds his own over at the Central Texas Home for the Terminally Twitchy. It is thanks to a bet-slash-dare from Jim that I wrote the first short story I ever had accepted for publication, and his discerning…

A Conversation with Dominique Goodall…
I met Dominique Goodall via a mutual membership in a Facebook NaNoWriMo group, and after striking up a few conversations, invited her to be part of Indie Author Month here on Infamous Scribbler. Dominique describes herself as a “fun, young, wolf-loving writer,” and is in fact the second Brit we’ve featured here. In preparation for…

Update-y post is update-y…
Business first. I have sent an e-mail to the six non-Entangled Publishing commenters who were kind enough to leave feedback on my “Conversation with Sue Winegardner” post. It was originally supposed to be five selected at random, but when I told her I had six people interested in the “query+first five” critique offer, she generously…
