Damsels have values, more than known and that we hear and read in folktales, legends, fairytales and news today.

The time of the year that is my best writing time.

SPRING, when plants grow and surge from the earth is my best writing time. My ideals have germinated during the winter and now ready to break to the surface of the page. This is when I use NaNoWriCamp and A2Z Blogging Challenge in April to complete the story I began at the last July NaNoWriCamp and the Clarion Write-a-Thon. I need these programs to help me focus and complete my projects, I need a schedule.  My time in the between months is spent editing and organizing frame with stories. First, I tell the verbal folktales, fables, legends I have analized; then I stand-up at a swap or now on ZOOM to deliver. Then enhance, adapt, modify, elaborate the takes into organize epic sagas; a tiger, dragons, fire, and damsels, and trolls and elves. Next fitting into a frame and then writing out the adventure. I now have a series telling timeless tales with five books completed. Seems will be ready at the same time - could be good.

Getting them published is my next enormous step. Is there a challenge for publishing?

My Work Partner

My work partner is my computer.

What a complicated character is the computer? Not an old character, most likely about 36 years old. Its development was a bit older so let's say about 42. So what does this character do for storytelling 1) writes, 2) records, 3) videotapes, 4) prints projects, 5) shares links, 6) shares messages, and 7) shares emails around the virtual expandable vast web. Beware of the bugs and don't get caught while surfing in a net, although fun, by observing what others have pinned to their nets as charms. Remember on a web one side is sticky; you can get stuck and held.

Most projects are set-up; I just update with my written words, videos, drawings, and photo images! And link together for others to travel around the vast web as my Faery Rhyonna, who sits on her Dandelion watching and listening.

Still, need a hardcover for Rhyonna's Fright for bookstores in IngramSparks by DECEMBER 2018. Granddaughter is correcting the last edit.

For April's NANOWRICAMP, this year did DRAWN LINES - how-to-use LINE in art. Made a small hand-held book with lessons including types of lines, textures, and composition. Put on wattpad.com and April A2Z Challenge. Next to apply and teach DRAWN LINES at the Frank Bette Museum.

Art shows at DareDevils and Queens in Santa Rosa last February; Frank Bette Museum has three pieces displayed in Alameda; and at Free up Oakland, I am the artist-in-Residence show September 9, 2018.

SOMEONE IS OUT THERE?

Once I mastered the writing of a novel and needed to publish and promote the book, I wondered 'Is there anyone out there?' WOW! Did I learn there were! Right now the biggest social places are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and many more . . .

While writing the book there is a flood of HOW-TO: for editing, and of course, a website, launch page and to collect readers through email promotion. There are sites to show your progress in writing: Wattpad, Jukepop, Scribd., Bubblish, just to name a few. Once the book is finished there are more opportunities, of course the HOW-TOs: to publish on CreateSpace, Smashword, and Amazon Kindle, and Kindle of Kids, with editors and formatting helpers. And also out in the vast web are the HOW-TOs for selling at ebook stores Gumroad,Goodread and Libraries just to name a few. Then comes the infoproducts and the HOW-TOs: podcast, make video trailer, voice over, etc.  PLUS,  more helpful sites free or with fees to master any problem any author has with promoting and marketing. I never knew publishing a story was a vast fast pace side around the web.
  
Someone is out there. WOWED! I must admit sorting through the grab bag is an education. I watch, listen, and take notes. The WELLS RUN DEEP! Yes, I have pay helpers, Fivver.com. Watch an amazing amount of webinars, that are worth any author's time with helpful hints, and of course, courses to buy. I use all theses bits and pieces to travel around the vast web to use all who can helped me. 

We live in a vast productive time with many options. Once there was radio, as a child on Saturday mornings listening and enjoyed stories, then as teenager watched local television that ran until midnight with a the test patterns that buzzed, or listened to the rockn'roll stations from Denver and Texas. Today we have the explosion of media, from once records, to tapes, to CDs, and DVDs, to today streaming songs and movies free or for a small charge on computer or TV screens, and on smart phones.  

Today the variable in writing and reading is amazing, fantastic, awesome, unbelievable and always CHANGING.

I am the creator, the writer, the publisher, the marketer, my own promoter. As an author, I run my whole business from my computer with more exposure, more earnings, with different products. My new title is AUTHORPERNEUR, an expert, that means exclusive e-publisher of my books.

Books as SERIALS

I've done a lot of looking at the e-publishing, web digital writing market. I'm a senior and seen a lot of changes which started for me in 1984, when joining SCBWI, Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. At that time the libraries had their funding cut, and the bookstores emerge.  Today lots of change in book publishing, the booming e-publishing where authors write, product, and market their own stories. 
-->Millions of ebooks are sold!  Soon readers on the many different electronic 'devices' will buy a chapter at a time. A good price per chapter is 99⍧ as an online song once cost. --->A 'series' book chapters as will be sold; check out wattpad.com and Jupebox.com, to mention a few sites. Where a Beta reader reads a chapter at a time and make comments to better the author's work. Why not have the reader pay for this time and privilege?
---> Back in the history stories were told by letters or hand drawn book, we still write individual letters. Think of the value of this process in today's cost of time, physical material, and postage, pieces of art, yesterday's cards --->Then printing machines were invented, and stories printed in newspapers as a series. The author earned a penny a word; I read a lot of those wordy first novels. 
---> SO today, gear writings for this change, 'serial chapters' in the digital publishing. Use less words to create a simple, clean story to be read a at one time in our busy time. Also, as any excellent writing have a strong hook at the beginning of the chapter and stronger hook at the end of that chapter, so the reader buys the next serialize 'chapter' in your novel.

EBOOK, where are the pages?

Ebook! When first seeing and hearing this word, maybe 5 years ago, I wondered about formatting, which was important in my writing. An ebook reads on a device with a continous flow of words.The need for readers to turn a page dismissed by a flow. All the options for fonts, size, etc. gone. As an artist and writer, the placement of any object;  a square, house, flower, or a word involves space, turning a page is the space to see the images of the character or story plot. In an ebook each word must hook a reader, who words that are concise to complete the images. Use of the ebook's chapter is the best hook and end of the chapter the net so the reader continues. The challenge is to write a story without the aid of illustrations and embed the worded images in a constant flow. 
-->So the challenge is how to choose words carefully to keep readers in my story.
