The Roadblock of Word Counts
By Stephen Zimmer
Being
the writer of an epic fantasy series, and an epic-scale urban fantasy series,
generating a sizeable word count for a novel is something I am fairly familiar
with. Yet I never lose sight of the fact

Author Guest Post with Author D.A. Adams
Today I have an awesome Guest post to share with you from the author of The Brotherhood of Dwarves series, D.A. Adams. I want to thank him for sharing this post with us and I must say I love this topic.
As a child, I remember reading The
Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, The Shannara Series, and
many other fantasy-based works that told compelling stories without
relying on gratuitous sex and foul language to keep the reader’s
attention. However, over the years, there’s been a trend in

audience. Books, TV shows, and movies...

Since November 2011, I have participated in – and won – five
NaNoWriMo events. The sixth will be in April, when I do the year’s first Camp
NaNo. Our area has a lot of people who participate in NaNoWriMo (National Novel
Writing Month), and a couple of the writing groups I’m in have tried to do it
as a group. They are always wanting to pick my brain as to how to “win” the
event. I think the advice I give holds true even if you aren’t doing a contest
and are just trying...
