First Cup of Coffee – February 5, 2019

That’s Jeffe’s robin in the photo. If you zoom in, you can kind of see the mutant beak. I’ll try for a better pic.

Traditional vs. self publishing and how knowing what you want out of being a writer lets you process opinions on how you should be running your career. Also thoughts on seeing The Favourite, why fantasy seems to so often look backwards, and the fine line between fantasy/alternate history/historical fiction.

That's Jeffe's robin in the photo. If you zoom in, you can kind of see the mutant beak. I'll try for a better pic.

Also, here is the article about the Merlin manuscript I mention. (https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/world/hidden-fragments-of-manuscript-telling-story-of-merlin-unearthed-901145.html?#)

A bit of a touchback to Friday's podcast - which blew up more than I expected! - on thanking authors for blurbs. A few people mentioned to me, and Darynda Jones commented on the website post here (https://jeffekennedy.com/first-cup-of-coffee-february-1-2019/) that we should cut these others a break because they may not feel confident in addressing an established author, or realize that thanks are appreciated. So, I'm reminded to practice Compassion & Tolerance. Maybe one day I'll get good at it!

Also thoughts on yoga, making progress, and very important closet reorganization news. 

The blog post I mention is here. (https://jeffekennedy.com/finding-solutions-to-conflict-in-life-and-in-fiction/)

The Godparents: Jeffe’s Top Five Influences as a Writer

Our topic this week at the SFF Seven is “The Godparents: Your top five influences as a writer.” Come on over to find out mine!

Also, we’re heading into the last week of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) Fantasy Storybundle. The theme is “Kickass Heroines” and this is such a kickass collection. I was one of the first to download it, even though my own book is in it, and I’ve read a couple of others. So many fantastic books for an amazing price.

A bit of a rant today on being gracious to other authors and watching what you put on social media. Also an explanation of how blurbs work and why it's a big ask.
