That last one is a question I’d like your help in answering. Use the comment section below to tell me what you’d like to see here next. I’m thinking another series that does a deep dive into a critical facet of the novel writing proposition… much like the 19-part series I did in May on the groundwork and criteria for your story premise (all of it here for the taking, if you haven’t seen these posts yet; see below). Tell me where you’d like to go next.

A few updates from this end:

My new writing book, Great Stories Don’t Write Themselves, just won its category (Writing and Publishing) in the 2020 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. Co-won, actually, just ahead of six other finalists and a flock of other entrants. This is my fourth book to win in its category, including two of my novels.

Also, this website was named in the May issue of Writers Digest Magazine to their 100 Best Websites for Writers list. Thanks for the nominations, if that’s you. This is the sixth appearance on that list in the last ten years… I am very grateful for my readers and your feedback.

Happily… that same May issue of Writers Digest Magazine has another peice with my name on it (my third this year), in the Workbook section shown on Page 57. This article is an exerpt from my previous book, Story Fix, on how to revise your story by hitting the sweet spots. There’s also an ad (on page 53) for my new book, Great Stories Don’t Write Themselves.

All in all, with three seats in the May issue, a good month for me.

But it all gets even better in the July/August issue.

The cover article in that edition is an extensive interview with author Robert Dugoni. This was the result of my pitch to the magazine, boosted by the fact (read: access) that Robert wrote the Foreword for my new writing book.

Pardon if you feel this is a little too “me”- oriented… I just wanted to share the good news with my Storyfix regulars, and with anyone else who happens along here.

More good stuff is in the pipeline. Anxious to field your suggestions for what you’d like to cover next. Thanks for sticking around!
