  • Ask Yourself Why You Write

    Here is the thing. We know what we write and how we write it. Have you ever stopped to consider why you write? No, well maybe you should.

    A great teacher once told me that we will be 100% likely to fail if we do not stop to ask ourselves why we want to do anything. Today I ask you to stop and look under the hood and see what you find. It may not be as easy as you think.

    What makes you want to write. Seriously consider the question.

  • Author Intereview: Nathaniel Warner

    You are not going to want to miss a moment of this interview. I had an amazing discussion with Nate Warner about the craft of writing. He has a way of breaking it all down which I would love to bottle up and sell to all of you. Instead, here it is for the low price of free!

    Nate and I talked about all kinds of great things. We talked about the book creation process, how to get involved in writing, the importance of having a good editor, and why you should not have to worry yourself if maybe you aren't the best at grammar.

    Of course we are going to talk about his book series and what he has going on.

    One of the things we talked about in the show was not only his very own website, but we also chatted at length about this really cool page he put together for budding authors. It is his own writing process as an example. While it is not a roadmap for everyone, I think it is a great starting point to help the budding author who wants some sort of direction.

    He also has some examples of character sheets people can check out to give you some direction on how to put together your own.

    Check out Nathaniel's website!

  • Interview: Nuzo Onoh

    This is easily the best book I have read this year. I got interview the Queen of African Horror, Nuzo Onoh, and read her book, A Dance for the Dead and I was completely blown away. The way I was sucked into this other culture and into this village in Africa was so masterfully done that I just had to have her on the show.

    We talk about all kinds of things to include how culture plays a role in how we perceive a story, the role women played in that society, how the main characters are faced with giving up the things they held onto so dear so that their world could be set right, and lots of other things.

    The interview is just as amazing as the book. Take a listen, you will be glad you did.

  • Interview: Hon. Lise Pearlman

    I am thrilled to say that we get some amazing authors here on All Things Writing. Today we get the distinguished author of several true crime novels. Not only is she a former prosecutor, but she also served as a judge on the California State Bar, today we get to hear from The Hon. Lise Pearlman.

    We talked about all kinds of things. Focusing on her book Suspect No 1: The Man Who Got Away, we delved into the mystery which has always surrounded the kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh baby. Certainly one of the most infamous cases to have ever graced American newspapers.

    We also talked about

    • Her journey as a writer.
    • Similarities between working in the criminal justice system and the work she does as a writer.
    • Of course we are going to talk about the book!
    • What is our fascination with unsolved crimes?
    • The level of corruption in our news media.
    • Getting her book made into an audio book and working with Scott Ellis Reads
    • And of course where can we find her works.
