Here’s the 10th installment of Denny’s writing blog

Denny’s favorite mantra-

“There is seldom any one absolutely, inarguable, unimpeachably right way to do anything.”

“There’s just the way, whatever it might be, that’s okay for here and now.”

A final observation from Denny: “Practice makes…well, not perfect, but maybe pretty good.”

I’ve got another Web Wednesday from Nicki for you, but I can’t find it on my computer. I’ll look again when I get home tonight. Stay “tooned”.

Oh, and don’t forget to check out the latest episode (#3) of “The PKD Black Box” titled: “Roger Corman & The Memphis Mafia Battle Ninjas“. You can get it at http://pkdmedia.com, http://pkdmedia.com/thepkdblackbox, or via iTunes. Since we discussed so much Shawn Pryor split our conversation into two parts.

New Denny O’Neil article at bleedingcool.com-

#6 – Whoever Knows Fear…

…one way to create characters is for the writer to ask and answer four questions.

*What does my character always want?

*Who or what does he love?

*What is he afraid of?

*Why does he involve himself in extreme situations?

Thinking outside The Black Box

Last night I recorded a podcast with my friends Shawn Pryor, Jon Carroll, and Martheus Antone Wade for an upcoming episode of The Black Box. Not sure when the air date will be, but as soon as I know I’ll post it here. We had a great time talking about self-publishing and the ups and downs that can come with it.

I’m hoping to start my own Comic Whore podcast in the near future, but it’ll at least be after the holidays. Got enough on my plate right now to keep me plenty busy!

Like writing more Comic Whore updates for Mondays. If you have any ideas, questions about self-publishing/promotions, or things for me to pimp please send them on. You can reach me at lin (at) linworkman (dot) com.

Type at ya later,

Lin
