WHAT’S MY MOTIVATION?

This is the actual wallpaper on my laptop computer.

I joined the author roundtable discussion on Sean Taylor’s blog this week. The topic is on writer’s motivations. Sean pulled together an impressive collection of writers this week, including Ashton Adams, Bill Craig, Erwin Roberts, H. David Blalock, John Neal, John White, Lee Houston Jr., Motivation, Ralph Angelo, and Bobby Nash.

You can read the full round table discussion here.

From the site:
What's My Motivation?
For this week's roundtable, let's talk motivation. Writers write, as the cliche goes, but why do they write? For money, for the sheer joy of it, to be famous? Anyone who lives the live of an author will tell you that sometimes it can be hard to pinpoint exactly why someone would choose to do this crazy, solitary line of work. But don't just take my word for it.

MINE OR YOURS: NEW CHARACTERS VS. EXISTING CHARACTERS

What's yours is mine
and what's mine is mine.

I took part in the latest roundtable discussion on author Sean Taylor's blog. Mine or Yours: New Characters vs. Existing Characters along with authors H. David Blalock, Joel Jenkins, Krista Cagg, Ray Witte, and Stephanie Osborn.

From the blog:
"What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine."

One of my dream writing gigs.

While it may be true in marriage (snicker, snicker), it isn't always the case in authorship and creative control. So, to find out whether writers prefer to create their own characters or work with existing properties, we asked. (We're smart like that... Sometimes.)
