About this Writing Stuff...

Happy NaNoWriMo, everyone!  While I won't be "officially" participating, I am in the midst of second draft revisions on my next paranormal mystery novel so I intend to use November to complete them.   I'd already begun on Friday but was rudely interrupted by Mother Nature's winter preview along the Northeastern US this past weekend.  I was fortunate to retain power at our house but played host to three family members who were not so lucky.  The last of them returned home today now that power has been restored to most of the area.

Despite the mayhem, I am happy to be prompt with another round of hopefully helpful articles.  It's an abbreviated edition due to the aforementioned disaster and inherent stress that comes with it.  We have a hat trick of How To's this week, including two unique tactics for developing characters and a playful method of finding success in your writing.  Jane Friedman discusses the responsibility shouldered by self pubbed writers and Bob Greenberger brings us A Matter of Faith, a published short piece in the SF genre.
