Comments on: What Do You Want In the Newsletter? http://hollylisle.com/what-do-you-want-in-the-newsletter/ read with hunger, write with joy, live with passion Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:43:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: zoomerbeth http://hollylisle.com/what-do-you-want-in-the-newsletter/comment-page-1/#comment-7931 zoomerbeth Fri, 09 May 2008 05:10:28 +0000 http://hollylisle.com/writingdiary2/?p=4287#comment-7931 Hi Holly! I agree that it's difficult to pick just one thing, and maybe a rotating-topic part would work well, but I have to admit that what I'd like to see is a section where you share whatever tidbit is going on in your life (fire ants vs butterflies had me imagining Pest World for a week). I agree with KalevTait that your examples are inspiring, but I'd like to see how the unwritten fantasy and SF interacts with the outside world. Hi Holly!

The ideas behind the examples are useful, but the example itself is what inspires me to actually use the suggested technique. So I guess what I'd like is more examples, possibly even covering ground you've tread before but presenting another 'look' at it.

Like MadPiper said, it is lacking. I would love SF and Fantasy tips and information. Like MadPiper said, it is lacking.

Areas that seem most difficult from here: Publishing, traditional publishers less and less inaccessible and new venues appear very much in chrysalis stage. What's next?

There are many books and/or information on writing in general, but SF/Fantasy advice has been considerably lacking in comparison in my opinion. So info, tips, or even advice on good places to find these would be awesome. For me, information on SF/Fantasy is number one.

Perhaps some of it is the difficulty in thinking beyond everything I already have there on the page and in my head but some tips on how to apply these techniques to an existing story would really help me (and hopefully others too).

Insider tips would be handy as well. Bethanie is right - LOL! - it is hard to pick just one thing, but I will stand by those three. ;-) I like the idea of information on writing SF/Fantasy, and I definitely support Q&A.

I'm coming up with a tie between #2 (SF/Fantasy-specific articles) and #5 (Q&A). You can never get too much SF/Fantasty-specific advice, and I love the Q&A section because your answers to other people's questions answer so many of my own.
