Randy Ingermanson, writer of some great science fiction (also known as the Snowflake Guy) has launched a new blog dedicated to Advanced Fiction Writing. This guy is a savvy marketer, and the first post of his brand new blog has received almost 200 comment posts. Admittedly, it included a contest (yes, I took part…find my entry), but the guy can certainly do a grand cyber-cattle call.
I’ve posted about his Mad Genius Writer newsletter and all the free stuff that comes when you sign up for that, plus his Snowflake model (hence the name) which I’ve used to organize and start pretty much every one of my novel manuscripts so far. Effective stuff, and even if you’ve heard some of his pointers and advice before, he’s got lots of material to sift through, and I’m sure you’ll find something you hadn’t thought about before. From writing itself, to website tips to e-newsletters to marketing yourself, this blog is sure to be a great help and resource.
And for those of you who didn’t get the doormat joke, here’s a helpful link to explain. Plus, since I’m thinking all geekish this weekend, it seems, here is a site to your nerdy side in for a goodly while. Want a coffee mug with the molecular structure of caffeine printed on the side? LED candles that never melt? Maybe a universal television remote? They’ve got it all, and I’m tempted to buy almost everything on here.
I see that smile.
