I'm asking what people like about going to author events, and also talking about creativity and how not to listen to the voices that make us doubt ourselves.

Do You Need a Critique Group – Or Something ELSE?

Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog

Yesterday I cooked brunch for writer friends Jim Sorenson and Sage Walker. (That’s me in my Orchid Throne apron that the amazingly talented Minerva Spencer made for me. Isn’t it awesome??)

We sat in the grape arbor, listened to the bluebirds feed their nestlings, and talked all things writing. It got me thinking about critique and what we need to improve our work that ISN’T critique. Come on over to the SFF Seven for more.

Why I don't like lots of POVs, even in fantasy where it's supposedly okay. A bit on how to choose POV, my feelings on the first 25% of a story (& POV), and then on grounding a reader in a sequel.

October 1 is a bad luck day in my family, so I'm talking a bit about that. Also about meeting with writers Jim Sorenson and Sage Walker. (Her book is The Man in the Tree!) and getting little chores done like sending books off to the cover models that posed for them.
