Authortube: The Best Piece of Writing Advice I Ever Got

A long time ago, a fellow author and I were talking about book reviews and how some of them can be so malicious.

During that conversation, my friend said something that would change how I approach writing and producing books from then on forth.

Watch this vLog to hear what he had to say and how it can apply to your own writing or artistic efforts.

The Way of the Fog and Still About a Girl Returning to Life

Posted on October 26, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

The Way of the Fog and Still About a Girl Returning to Life

A long time ago I wrote an epic fantasy (253k words) called THE WAY OF THE FOG: VOLUME ONE OF THE ARK OF LIGHT. It came out in hardcover only. That hardcover is returning. As for paperback and eBook versions, I’ll have to figure something out because the core files were lost in The Great Computer Crash of 2010. I have some ideas on how to recover the files, but it’ll take some time.

As well, my poetry book, STILL A ABOUT A GIRL, is returning to print. It was my third poetry collection and came out early in my career. No reason to not have it out there again. It’s a collection of poems about love and loss and how it changes you.

Stay tuned for more news as these projects return.

In the meantime, lots of books to choose from both here and at Amazon to keep you reading company. Thanks.

A.P. Fuchs 2023 Studio Tour

Posted on August 23, 2023 5:34 am by A.P. Fuchs

A.P. Fuchs 2023 Studio Tour

Well, here it is: Home sweet home.

It’s definitely not like other writers’ offices with books everywhere and a computer. It’s also not like your traditional artist studio with the smell of paint on the air and lots of brushes and pens laid out.

When I say in my newsletter I work in a bunker, well, you’ll see that I’m not far off.

My studio was originally going to be a basement bathroom but the previous owners of the house didn’t finish it. They got as far as framing it and marking out on the cement floor what goes where (i.e. the tub here, the toilet there, etc). So, I went out and got a roll of carpet, cut it to size, put it down, then put all my equipment where I wanted it to be. What I forgot to mention in the video is the computer desk I’m using I’ve had since I was about 5 or 6. It’s small, but I’ve made it work and the room is too small to put in something new from IKEA or wherever. Besides, one of the drawers has a sticker on it one of my kids put on it when they were toddlers. Yeah, I’m sentimental like that.

Anyway, this is it, the A.P. Fuchs 2023 Studio Tour. This is where I produce my books and comics and make sure they get out to you.

Hope you dig my little nerd’s nest.

Welcome to the real-life Realm of Heroes and Monsters!

There’s been a release schedule change.

My summer and fall releases have been pushed back so here’s the tentative new schedule:

Fall:

THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: YEAR FOUR
THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: THE LONG YEAR FIVE
GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE: TRIPLE FEATURE

Winter:

BLOOD OF THE DEAD reissue
POSSESSION OF THE DEAD reissue
REDEMPTION OF THE DEAD reissue

Apologies for the delay. With it being summer, my team and I have different schedules so it’s been difficult to align them. Rest assured, these books are coming.

Summer Releases Status

Here is where everything is standing as of this writing:

THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: YEAR FOUR – Galley approved; cover 95% done.
Thttps://canisterx.com/the-canister-x-transmission-the-long-year-fiveHE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: THE LONG YEAR FIVE – Galley approved.

At the current rate things are going, we’re still on schedule for late August. Lots of work to do yet, but a good chunk of book production has been done on the above. I’m now at the stage where I plan to work on the titles one at a time.

This is your summer releases status.

Onward.

The Daily Schedule of a Writer/Artist 2

Posted on May 24, 2022 1:07 pm by A.P. Fuchs

The Daily Schedule of a Writer/Artist 2

Since recovering from being ill–and I’m still recovering–here’s what my current daily schedule looks like:

Wake up and pet the dogs. I’m usually up before everybody else.

Post my daily Good Morning post on Facebook and give the day’s positivity rating. The rating is given based on how I feel at that exact moment.

Make coffee.

Have a small bite to eat.

Have coffee and surf the feeds and check email, taking note of which ones I need to respond to later.

By now Melinda is up so I have more coffee and spend time with her before she has to go to work.

Work on the current project. As of this writing, it’s proofing the galley for the reissue of REDEMPTION OF THE DEAD.

Break

Non-committal work. By this I mean work I can do and get done but not share with anybody yet (i.e. a blog post, the newsletter, YouTube video, etc.).

Break

Work on the current project.

Break

Review and share the non-committal work

Personal tasks (i.e. personal correspondence, bills, etc.).

Break

Nap

I may or may not call it a day at this point. Depends what time it is. Melinda gets off work at 4:30 and then it’s time to get ready for supper.

Evening walk with Melinda and then a quick walk with the dogs.

Chill out time.

Bed.

And that’s the daily schedule of a writer/artist.
