Ok, So You Think Your Idea Is Dumb?

August 6, 2012 Mathias Leave a comment

Do you suffer from self doubt as a writer?  Do you think your ideas are stupid?  Do you think no one will ever give a damn about what you write?  That it’s too weird?  Well, it’s common to go through those things.

Ok, so maybe your idea is off the wall!  Maybe it isn’t what people are used to!  So what!  Even things that are jokes and that people think are the weirdest ideas in the world can make it big! Read more…

Painting Yourself Out Of A Corner As A Writer

July 4, 2012 Mathias Leave a comment

Nearly every novel has them, that scene or chapter that just never feels right when being read in context with the story. Sometimes they are minor. Other times they are major. But the fact that they exist so often, sometimes multiple times in a single story, is a reality.

In a way, their very existence sort of gives us aspiring authors hope. We tend to fret about every bit of our story being so perfect.

Please Avoid These Five Major Twitter Fails!

June 26, 2012 Mathias Leave a comment

Ah, yes, Twitter.  140 characters to say whatever it is that is on your mind.  But are you guilty of any of these five major Twitter fails?  Maybe it is time to rethink your life.

1. Demanding someone follow you in order for you to follow them.

Really?  You have so little that is interesting to say that you have to bribe people to follow you?  Shame.

2. Following someone, waiting for them to follow you, and then unfollowing them.

Can’t drum up followers any other way huh? Read more…
