Blog Tour: Tracey Joseph
Ingrid chatted with Tracey Joseph about how she writes as part of her Around the World in 80 Days Blog Tour for When the World was Flat (and we were in love).
Excerpt from Tracey Joseph’s blog:
Stephen King said, “When you write a book, you spend day after day scanning and identifying the trees. When you’re done, you have to step back and look at the forest.” (Yes, I am quoting the supreme On Writing.)
Of course, when you do step back you might realize that you need to take an axe to half of the...

Blog Tour: Winged Reviews
Ingrid chatted with Winged Reviews as part of her Around the World in 80 Days Blog Tour for When the World was Flat (and we were in love).
Excerpt from Winged Reviews:
What was the very first seed for inspiration for the series?
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. The movie with Keira Knightly and Matthew MacFadyen combined with a re-read of the novel made me want to write my own epic romance. In that sense, Tom definitely started as Mr. Darcy and Lillie as Elizabeth Bennet. The book took on a l...

Blog Tour: Coffee, Books and Me
Ingrid chatted with Coffee, Books and Me as part of her Around the World in 80 Days Blog Tour for When the World was Flat (and we were in love).
Excerpt from Coffee, Books and Me:
The first thing that attracted me to your book is the title. How did you come up w/the title and what do you think are the criteria in making a good one?
I really wanted a title that told a story in itself.
My working title was Teen Romance, because it was just to describe what I was writing (at that stage there was no...

Blog Tour: Amaterasu Reads
Ingrid stopped by Amaterasu Reads to chat about capturing ideas as part of her Around the World in 80 Days Blog Tour for When the World was Flat (and we were in love).
Excerpt from Amaterasu Reads:
Everyone walks past a thousand story ideas every day, according to Orson Scott Card, author of Ender’s Game. “The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don’t see any.”
I keep a range of mental and physical notes for use in future manuscripts. The other day I overheard a wo...

Blog Tour: Intertextuality
Ingrid stopped by A Dream within a Dream to speak about intertextuality as part of her Around the World in 80 Days Blog Tour.
Excerpt from A Dream within a Dream:
I have previous posted on intertextuality by imitation, but this post is about intertextuality by quotation. I have read a thousand (probably not an exaggeration) books which directly or indirectly reference other books, poetry, films, paintings, songs, etc. A lot of books also include an epigraph to capitalize on prior understanding...
