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.

How Epic is Epic? -- Working with "Epic" Storylines

Bobby joined a group of writers for the latest roundtable discussion on Sean Taylor's Bad Girls, Good Guys, and Two-Fisted Action blog. This week’s topic: How Epic is Epic?
Harry Potter is perhaps one of the most recent breakout hits to be created specifically for a major, multi-book storyline that is categorized by a marketing label that actually (some might say "for once") does a excellent job of defining the scope of the works it promotes -- Epic.

You can't turn around in a bookstore without tripping of any number of multi-volume works, and the trend only seems to be growing and taking up more and more shelf space and online retail bytes.

But what makes a writer want to think beyond the scope of a simple story to create something so grandiose and far-reaching?

Well, you know us here at Bad Girls, Good Guys, and Two-Fisted Action. With our curiosity suitably piqued, we asked a few writers to see what they had to say.

An Issue Too Long? How Long Should a "Typical" Comic Book Arc Be?

Bobby joins the discussion at Sean Taylor’s Bad Girls, Good Guys, and Two-Fisted Action blog along with writers Chuck Dixon, Erik Burnham, John Morgan Neal, Ken Janssens, Lee Houston Jr., Martheus Wade, and Sean Taylor. This week, the roundtable discussion looks at plotting comic book stories, length of an arc, and just how important it is to have a beginning, middle, and end to each story.

You can read all about it at http://seanhtaylor.blogspot.com/2012/02/issue-too-long-how-long-should-typical.html

This week's roundtable discussion comes from a reader who wrote in with the following:

If I can suggest a question for your question of the day -- How long should a 'typical' comic book story arc be? I ask for various reasons but the main one is that it used to take an issue or two to tell an origin story and I've read several new titles that are on issue 6 and not sure if they've finished any origin story arcs yet.

Bad Girls, Good Guys, and Two-Fisted Action: Genre-Bending: How Pure Should Pulp Fiction Be? New Pulp authors respond.

Sean Taylor posted an interesting query on his blog http://seanhtaylor.blogspot.com/. Sean asked 'How Pure Should Pulp Fiction Be?' Some of New Pulp's finest (including Bobby) responded.

When you think of pulp fiction, what springs to mind? The hard-boiled P.I.? The lost Earthman winning and wooing on Mars? The jungle lord? The aviator adventurer? The masked vigilante precursor to the comic book super hero? Weird horror tales with skeletons and damsels in distress? (For the sake of argument, let's all assume you didn't immediately go to the movie with John Travolta and Samuel Jackson, even as good as it is.)

Pulp has covered many genres, and was originally so named because of the cheap paper on which it was published. Pretty much everybody who loves the style knows that.

But, over time, some genres tended to become more synonymous with the definition of pulp than others.

And some would argue that pulp itself is a genre. (For the sake of this article, we're going to treat pulp as a style of telling a story and not a genre unto itself, since so many genres were represented within its ranks.)

To explore this idea further, we went straight to several of new pulp's top creators. You can see their responses at http://seanhtaylor.blogspot.com/2011/12/genre-bending-how-pure-should-pulp.html?spref=tw

The Free Choice E-Zine Recommends Deadly Games!

Lee Houston Jr.

Lee Houston Jr., Editor-In-Chief of The Free Choice E-Zine gave DEADLY GAMES! a mention in his latest Pulse Pounding New Pulp column. You can read it at http://www.thefreechoice.info/.

From http://www.thefreechoice.info/:
For those who came in late... While the original pulp movement, so named because of the cheap paper the stories were originally printed on, had its "heyday" between the Great Depression and the end of World War II, by no means has the genre died. Today there are companies that remember the past, and create new adventures of not only old favorites, but of brand new characters as well.

The Free Choice E-Zine takes a brief look at some of these latest efforts.

Thanks for recommendeding DEADLY GAMES!, Lee.
