Welcome back, guys! Yesterday I was featured on Adam Gaylord's Writing Tip Tuesday with a guest post about writing collaboratively. Adam is making the jump back into the blogging world, and it was an honor to be his first guest on this new feature. Go check it out!
We are two weeks away from a new and exciting year of the April A to Z Challenge. This year's challenge is dedicated to Tina Downey, a great blogger and friend who left us last year. For my theme, I have teamed up with an artist who is creating portraits of the characters in my debut novel, WOVEN, and I will provide their background info.
The fun begins on April 1st. If you want to join the challenge, click here for information and to sign up!
Review: This War Of MineI scrolled through Steam one night and found what looked like a survival strategy game mixed with The Sims. Then I learned the game is based on the Siege of Sarajevo, the longest siege of a capitol city in modern war. So I played it, and I have to applaud the developers for creating a game that made me feel like a civilian in a war torn city. Every choice matters, and any evening of scavenging for supplies could be your last. In war, civilians suffer the most, so good on 11 Bit Studios for shining a light on a demographic that usually gets little to no attention. I haven't finished this yet due to ongoing edits, but I like it enough to recommend.
Back to the editing cave. My what a quest this has become!
What do you think of Adam's updated place? Are you doing the A to Z Challenge this year? What are your thoughts on war games?
I'm David, and in war, not everyone is a soldier ...
Visited your guest post yesterday!
ReplyDeleteYou've teamed up with an amazing artist all right. Yes, I know who it is!
Nothing gets past you... :)
DeleteWhat a fun A to Z idea, can't wait :)
ReplyDeleteGreat guest post! That sounds like a fantastic idea for the A-Z challenge. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never done the A-Z challenge... but I think you've got a cool concept to roll with. Looking forward to checking it out.
ReplyDeleteAlso like your "editing cave." Heh. Too true.
That's a neat idea for a theme. I can't wait to see your characters' portraits.
ReplyDeleteGreat post at Adam's! You really sold collaborations. And fab theme for A-Z.
ReplyDeleteOoh. I can't wait to see your characters!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool idea for the challenge. I can't wait to see what you come up with for all the letters :).
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the A to Z. I'm not participating, but I am a minion for Susan this year. That might be just as fun. Maybe more. LOL
ReplyDeleteWar is ugly. Gaming is awesome. Can't wait to see your challenge posts and RIP Tina.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the guest post! And awesome A-Z theme. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteAlready checked out your post at Adam's, and it was fantastic! And ooh, you'll be featuring character portraits for A-to-Z? As an artist, I can't help but think that's fun! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great A-Z theme.
ReplyDeleteHeading over to check it out, very cool:)
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I can do A-Z challenge this year. :( Made a lot of writing commitments and I'm terrified of not being able to catch up! But sounds like you've got a good A-Z theme there!
ReplyDeleteGames like that make me wish I played games. I've never been able to get the hang of them though.
ReplyDeleteI did the A to Z challenge once, and it was a lot of fun, but I never seemed to have the right amount of time for it. I don't think I'll make it this year either, since it is just after I move. But I look forward to reading the posts!
I'm definitely prepping for A to Z! I don't often play games - there's never enough time and I'm afraid to start one. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't play video games anymore, but I ask my boys about them all the time. I write upper MG fiction, so there input is vital. That game sounds amazing! I'm prepping for AtoZ earlier than I did last year. I'm in the editing cave as well, but it's my fave part of writing!
ReplyDeleteWow! Looking forward to seeing your characters. My wife is reading Woven right now, and she's in love with the book too.
ReplyDeleteCool idea for a theme, David! I look forward to seeing the art.
ReplyDeleteYou always have great ideas. :)
ReplyDeleteI won't be doing A to Z this year, but I look forward to seeing what posts others will put up. I've seen some great ideas floating around.
ReplyDeleteI just ordered WOVEN through my daughter's school's book order, and hopefully the book will arrive in time for me to read it and follow along when you are posting the portraits and background info.
