Tia Nevitt over at the Fantasy Debut blog is reading and reviewing Karma Girl this week. Since, you know, it’s my debut book. 😎
Anyway, she’ll be posting her thoughts about the book all week. Check it out!
A little advice …
I often get asked questions about writing. How do you come up with your story and characters? Why do you write about superheroes? What advice would you give aspiring authors?
University Chic recently asked me to pen a couple of articles on writing for them. The first one — about creative writing — has been posted. The second article — writing tips for college students — will go up in September.
Go check it out. 😎
Parties, parties, parties …
If you’re a romance writer, you know that the annual RWA conference is less than a month away. I’ll be one of about 2,000 folks attending.
There are lots of workshops and book signings and events planned — includes parties. Parties, parties, and more parties. More parties than any one person has time for. I’ve been trying to figure out my conference schedule — what I am committed to going to, what I’d like to go to, and everything in between.
I’m all set for the Literacy Autographing, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. July 11. I’m going to my agency’s annual get-together July 12. I have the Berkley book signing from 3-4:30 p.m. July 13, followed by the company’s cocktail party that night.
I’m also going to be on a pitching panel-style workshop from 9:45-10:45 a.m. July 13.
Then, there are the other events I want to hit, like the Chick Lit Writers of the World party and the Futuristic, Fantasy, and Paranormal chapter’s party.
Oh yeah, I want to go to tons of workshops and actually learn stuff too.
Too many parties, too little time … 😎
What about you? What events are you looking forward to at RWA? Inquiring minds want to know …
Off to guest blog …
It’s time again for my regular column over at Romancing the Blog. Check it out! 😎
Veronica Mars, comic book star …
If you’ve read my blog, then you know of my love for Veronica Mars, which sadly got the official axe from the CW this week. Sniffle.
But then, I see this gem on TV Guide in the Ask Ausiello column:
Question: The next time you speak to/e-mail Rob Thomas, could you please ask him if he’s ever considered continuing the Veronica Mars story line in comic-book form, the way Joss Whedon is doing with Buffy?— Allison
Ausiello: Actually, according to the Toronto Star, he had a meeting with DC Comics last Monday about that very subject. And the idea of a VM feature film remains a distinct possibility, so the Mars franchise ain’t over yet. Not by a long shot.
I think it goes without saying that this would be awesome! Here’s the link to the story he’s talking about in the Star.
DC Comics, are you paying attention? Everyone knows that the Buffy comic has been a huge success for Dark Horse. I imagine that Veronica Mars would be the same, since it has that same sort of rabid, loyal fanbase.
I don’t know how TV viewing numbers translate to comic sales, but I imagine that if just half the VM fans (let’s say an even 1 million folks) bought a comic, then it would be a runaway hit.
Hey, if I sold a million books, I’d be dancing on the moon. 😎
In other VM news, I won a copy of a book of essays on VM called Neptune Noir as part of a contest over at Diana Peterfreund’s blog. She’s another VM fan. I haven’t read the book yet, but its very existence makes my inner fangirl shriek with glee. I’m sure it will be most excellent. I’ll do a review after I’ve read it.
What about you? Would you buy a VM comic book? Inquiring minds want to know …
