more writerly stuff
no daily prompt inspired me, so I'm continuing from yesterday. I did my first upload on FeedBooks (Vive la France!), hope to add more during the week(end). It will be all free reads, because at the moment it's the only thing you can upload there (along with public domain stuff). So there goes – they even picked up the Gravatar from WordPress, without me uploading it like I had to do everywhere else! 
I've joined another group on Goodreads and was pointed to this post about worst mistakes authors make. Please read also the comments, as the discussion is very interesting. Not that I'm going to spam anyone (I felt so guilty when I announced Air to all my friends, that I didn't repeat it for Fire…), and I'm probably going to lurk before I say anything (although I uploaded my "review" for the book they plan on reading next month, as it's already on my "not to try again" list… 
), but as they say in the comments, that's a real school for writers, check what readers want. And of course we must be readers before being writers. But the "forum" form is kinda daunting for me, so I don't know when I'll be actually active on any forum!
Also, maybe because I'm prolific, I don't spend to much time on my latest baby, because I'm already thinking about the next one! But I know lots of writers who spend years on one single novel and can never let it go… don't rewrite eternally, and please do check again Dean Wesley Smith's Killing the Sacred Cows of Publishing – he's editing them and I look forward to see the book complete to buy it and save it on my PC even if I already read it for free! Because his advice is just awesome! Also subscribe to David Farland's newsletter, if you haven't already, it's another gold mine of advice from a pro…
OK, I better go back to my writing, drawing and reading… I've just met a long-haired guy (did I mention I love long-haired guys? YES, I did! ) whom I know is a vampire… maybe Louis de Pointe du Lac has finally found a rival? Hope to let you know in a couple of days…
I leave you with this hilarious article that circulated in my offline writers group: 30 harshest author-on-author insults in history. Do you still wonder why authors keep doing it?
