/ Marcia Meara / 9 Comments

Check out this week’s posts on Story Empire … you’ll be GLAD you did!

MONDAY: Craig Boyack has a super post entitled Working Ahead for your reading pleasure. It features a marvelous video you should definitely take a few minutes to watch. Wild! You can check out how Craig plans ahead HERE.

WEDNESDAY: Writing dialogue is always tricky, and Staci Troilo’s excellent post, Fiction Dialogue 201,  is sure to be helpful for many of us. You can check it out HERE.

FRIDAY:  John Howell has addressed the topic of books currently being banned or coming into question for one reason or another, and even posted a list of such books. If this topic is one of concern to you (and I believe it should be), head on over and take a look at the types of work considered unsuitable  for us to be reading. It’s mind boggling! Check out John’s post  HERE.

Once Again, Lots of Stuff You Do NOT Want to Miss! 😀

MONDAY:  Gwen Plano’s post, Extroversion and Introversion, gives us a look at the types of personalities writers might have, and how it can impact how we look at life, and approach our work.

#ReblogAlert – Good Stuff From #StoryEmpire

/ Marcia Meara / 15 Comments

Some great posts from the wonderfully talented folks at #StoryEmpire this week. If you haven’t already stopped by, here’s what’s been going on:

MONDAY:  Is Your Writing a Business or a Hobby? by Mae Clair. You definitely need to check this one out, especially if keeping track of expenses and how you should be handling your taxes, etc, is a foreign concept you haven’t quite grasped yet. VERY helpful post! You can read Mae’s post HERE.

WEDNESDAY: Show, Don’t Tell by Gwen Plano. This beautifully done post from Gwen struck a real chord with me, as she reminds us that memories are tricky issues and photographs can prove yours might not be as accurate as your recollections would have you think. Good advice here, and some touching photos, too. You can read Gwen’s post HERE.

FRIDAY: Don’t Talk Like That: How to Write Good Dialogue – Tags & Beats: by Harmony Kent. Harmony takes another look at how to write dialogue properly, focusing on beats and tags. This is a real problem area for many writers, and her examples and suggestions are right on target. You’ll definitely want to read Harmony’s post and can do so HERE.

And that concludes my new Friday feature, recapping a great week on #StoryEmpire.  Hope you enjoy these posts as much as I did.
