C FAAAAACE. I HAVEN'T SEEN IT IN AGES. ♥ Also, yay for conflict!

What did Jim Butcher do?

[tree00faery.livejournal.com]

AWWWW You are ADORABLE! *squishes*

Also, hi!

[caninepawprints.livejournal.com]

I finally get to put a face to the name!

You are so lucky to know Jim Butcher! I love his Dresden Files series!

Bwa ha ha I met him and talked intensely with him and his wife years and years ago, but I doubt he'd remember me. Still, what he said, his enthusiasm for writing and the belief that others can conquer it too, has stayed with me. And now i am actually utilizing it. He has a livejournal here where several years ago he laid out how he writes and I have pulled those off (along with a friend of mine) and we're going to give his method a go.

Can you give me a link to his journal? I'd like to check out his method. I've thought about writing a novel a lot lately, but I haven't started yet because I'm afraid I won't be able to make it long enough or finish it. I have so many ideas crawling around in my head and I'm just itching to start writing, though!

HI! SQUISH BACK!!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Sure, I wish he would update with more stuff, but he hasn't touched it in ages. There is a lot of info there, but it is solid stuff. http://jimbutcher.livejournal.com/

[fictional-one.livejournal.com]

And all I was expecting was a picture of your new phone! You look marvelous darling!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Jim Butcher wrote some damn good info on writing in his LJ which he hasn't touched in years, sadly.

Ah, that is because he lurks on Sam's lj.

And he's busy writing wizard fic.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I KNOWWW!!!! I haven't seen your face in reality in ages either. Someday I am gonna go end up at one of those cons where you are.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Brat. LOLOL. I was! On my writing stuff!!! I didn't even feel guilty as I'd accomplished much already that day. LOL.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

LOL. Just being silly. I firmly believe in it!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I keep trying to get my work to open that Austin office--so far, no go. Pout. I want to go back to that restaurant!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

LOL yeah I forgot he stalks Sam.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

OMG ELECTRO!!! Miss you around!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Uh, do not be sharing Mr. B with me, okay???

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

The default answer to the question, "does s/he stalk Sam?" should be "yes."

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I think I should take my picture more often or something. LOL. I love my eyes from the front--I look bizarre from the side. LOLOL. How you feeling today, any better?

[caninepawprints.livejournal.com]

Whoa, he has a lot of good advice on there! I had to bookmark it to come back to when the kids are in school so I can actually absorb it without interruption. I'm going to use his advice for NaNoWriMo (I vow I'll finish this year!).

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

LOL! I don't stalk Sam though! but then I don't have to.. LOL.

Oh man tell me to get to work. My behavior is bad bad bad today!

Good! I am also signed up, tatteredleaf on the site.

Good! I am also signed up, tatteredleaf on the site.

This author is also very good--much of her advice applies to screenwriting but she is also a novelist. I love her books, am on a mystery list she is also a member of (well, I am sorta as I don't participate there anymore). She writes scary stuff. She has amazing advice and lots of it mirrors Butcher's.
