Back to Writing by Kathryn Flatt 3/28/2013 8:15:51 AM
I finished another key scene in "Seer" yesterday and this morning which sets up for the confrontation of good and evil. As I wrote it, I saw a way to employ one character's flaws to heighten the action. I did go back and tweak parts of the scene beca... more

Flying Over Hurdles by Kathryn Flatt 3/22/2013 7:14:01 AM
"Seer, Tyro, Fiend" is closing in on the Big Scene. Along the way, I've been dealing with the build up to that, hitting obstacles and clearing them just as fast. Yet I'm abundantly aware that I don't know where all the build up will lead. Where will ... more

Zowie by Kathryn Flatt 3/21/2013 8:41:26 AM
So far today, 21 hits on this blog, up there in the record books. My inclination is to believe that it had a lot to do with the wonderful comment I received on yesterday's post. Any author who doesn't publish with the big houses knows how much effort... more

A Battle of Words by Kathryn Flatt 3/20/2013 7:12:23 AM
A little tip on writing. Unfortunately, AD does not pick up the font changes, so the examples below that should be in italics are not. You can see the whole thing at www.kathrynflattsauthorpage.blogspot.com... more

For the Love of It by Kathryn Flatt 3/19/2013 7:20:20 AM
As I started to write today on "Seer, Tyro, Fiend," the scene was about to move into a new day, and I realized I did not know what day it was! Time to go back through the manuscript and chart the days according to the major events that happened in ea... more

The Good Stuff by Kathryn Flatt 3/18/2013 7:19:57 AM
Oooh, this is getting good! I just revealed a key piece of the puzzle in "Seer, Tyro, Fiend" and it will lead to some startling conclusions. Events are coming faster now, as they should at this point in a story, but I still find I need to go back and... more

You Know It Don't Come Easy by Kathryn Flatt 3/15/2013 8:57:59 AM
As work progresses on "Seer, Tyro, Fiend", I keep asking myself if I am over-developing Stefanie's psychic abilities. The idea I began with was that she should explore her talent as opposed to her reluctant reliance on it in "Dabblers" and that it sh... more

The Ever-Present Promotion Quandary by Kathryn Flatt 3/14/2013 9:08:03 AM
While I continue to make progress on "Seer, Tyro, Fiend," I spent some time this morning (and a little bit yesterday) in the name of promotion. Yesterday, I did some research on The Kindle Book Review and how to inquire about submitting something. Od... more

Quite A Day by Kathryn Flatt 3/13/2013 10:57:32 AM
Started out really well this morning with some sort of weirdness in my Internet connection. After some help from my service provider, all was well, but I felt compelled to go to all my accounts at various places and change my passwords. Probably over... more

On the Right Track by Kathryn Flatt 3/12/2013 8:52:58 AM
Imagine my surprise yesterday evening when I found 24 hits on this blog for the day. I'm still not entirely sure how these counts are done, whether the 24 represents multiple page views by one person, single views by many, or somewhere in between. Ma... more

Nine To Five by Kathryn Flatt 3/11/2013 8:12:06 AM
With the weekend over, work resumes on "Seer, Tyro, Fiend." Since my day job ended just over a week ago, I have all the time I want to write during the weekdays, so I take a break on the weekend. Kind of makes it my 9-to-5 job! Even so, the ideas kee... more

Time On My Hands by Kathryn Flatt 3/7/2013 7:47:12 AM
Ack! Having all my time to do what I will with it, I often find myself scattered. There are things I need to do and things I want to do, and they always seem to be at war for my time. My original goal in governing this is to do some of each every day... more

Let It Flow by Kathryn Flatt 3/6/2013 9:19:09 AM
Really liking this free-agent gig. Progress on "Seer, Tyro, Fiend" has really taken off this week. I'm sure the pages I wrote this morning will be rewritten, torn apart, resequenced before I call it done, but it's a good start. For this morning, I wr... more

Getting Into It by Kathryn Flatt 3/5/2013 10:26:31 AM
It is snowing like crazy here in Illinois, and here I am,cozy at home, writing up a storm. "Seer, Tyro, Fiend" is in the hell-bent-for-election stage, pace increasing, tension increasing (I hope), and all the story threads coming together. Even tha... more

Stuart Macbride by Glen glenebisch@comcast.net 3/5/2013 10:13:22 AM
When people think about Scottish mystery writers, the name Ian Rankin most quickly comes to mind with his dark tales of Edinburgh. However, if you like Rankin, I would suggest that you take a look at the work of another Scottish writer, Stuart Macbr... more
