So… how do you write stuff? Good question. Watch this:

A big thanks to Stephen Nelson for recording this and putting it together.
At LTUE, author John Brown and I did a 2 hour seminar called “How to Write a Story That Rocks”. This was the first time we’d done this together, and I do believe it turned out pretty good. Now, keep in mind, I’ve only just watched the first segment. A. Yes, I’ve gotten a little chunkier this year. B. Am I always that damn bouncy and twitchy? Holy crap, now I know where my kids get it from. (in my defense, I had just gotten onto a new BP medication that makes me a little bouncy)
Since this was originally John’s baby, and I was just tagging along, there were still some bugs to work out. Mostly because I didn’t really know what was going on until I got there, but I do believe that it actually turned out extremely well, and we got a ton of compliments from the aspiring writers there about how helpful the whole thing turned out.
So I hope you find this useful.
WhaHoooo! Get to see the back of my big fat head, framed by two of my favorite authors, AND I get to see the seminar all over again.
Now, where did I put my notebook from that night so I can see how much I missed.
Great vid. I love seeing how professional writers approach their craft.
I definitely need to make it to LTUE next year. The folks that got to attend this year are lucky.
Thanks to Hezikiah Kidron for posting that on youtube.
Man I wanted to be there… I don’t know how many times I yelled “Cattle mutilation, and guns” at you guys, during the brainstorming parts. 😀
