First Cup of Coffee – October 21, 2024

Sorting reasons to be a writer, how you CAN make a living at it, and what it means to treat this profession like a business. Also, why age and dry wit isn’t an excuse to insult other authors and genres.

I'm talking about genre definitions today, what drives them, where they're relevant and not - and how much is in the eye of the beholder. Also a bit on being disappointed by authors who turn out to be monsters.

You can check out DARK WIZARD here. ​

Putting ethical behavior and decency before the love of money, authors behaving badly - and about the idea that some scenes don't drive the story and should be cut, along with a lovely review of THE GOLDEN GRYPHON AND THE BEAR PRINCE.

The lovely review I mention is here.

Why authors shouldn't review their own books, how it's bad form and has nothing to do with being proud of or standing by your books. Also various metaphors on trying to get through a plot difficulty.

The Cary Library panel is here (https://tinyurl.com/y4ol29hb).

The movies I mention are The Five Year Engagement and Mortal.

And this is the calendar I ordered (https://www.llewellyn.com/product.php?ean=9780738754727).
