Authortube: How to Get Past the Writing Wall | How to Overcome Writer’s Block

Writer’s block hits every writer once in a while. For myself, it only happened once until I figured out how to overcome it. That was over twenty years ago. This authortube video is meant to encourage you and put you in the right headspace to keep the story moving forward despite if you feel blocked. Without proper headspace, you won’t get anywhere anyway. It’s my hope that this video helps set your head on straight so you can continue with your story.

What’s in a Book Blurb?

Posted on May 18, 2024 8:52 pm by A.P. Fuchs

What’s in a Book Blurb?

A lot, actually. Asking a fellow writer for a blurb can be both easy or daunting, depending on the ask. In the case of CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS, the writer/poet I asked to blurb my book is someone I admire and, frankly, was a little bit nervous handing over the galley for it.

I write poetry, sure, but it’s not my main medium. I used to blast out poems non-stop once upon a time, but these days they’re few and far between. However, the approach to CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS is different than my other stuff and, it seems, paid off.

I won’t give away details just yet, but the book did indeed wind up getting blurbed by that writer and it will be used on the front cover.

Vague blogging right now.

Soon.

Authortube: How to Handle a Bad Review

Oh no! Someone bashed your baby! All those months–maybe even years–of hard work and somebody doesn’t like it. They leave a bad review and you’re stuck feeling like garbage. Or should you?

Veteran author and self-publisher A.P. Fuchs weighs in on a very simple way to handle a bad review.

Hope you find this encouraging despite it being blunt.

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.

A lot of time and thought has been put into the essays and articles I post on Patreon for my patrons to help the creators there boost their arts career.

These articles and essays aren’t available anywhere else online except for patrons. Definitely worth the read even if you drop in for just a month.

These are the topics covered so far with more to come:

Status report – 041724

Posted on April 17, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Status report – 041724:

All right, we’ve got a full roster going on over here. Between the stuff you see on a daily basis and working on stuff behind the scenes that you’ll see eventually, we have our hands full.

Right now we’re:

1) Writing AXIOM-MAN: THE SUMMONING
2) Freelance editing for a client
3) Creating daily content for you both here on this blog and across the Web
4) Getting the second season of the Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time podcast ready for launch (I’m building a queue to ensure you get it weekly)

And a day job.

But basically, our creative focus is on the Axiom-man books for this year. My main goal is to get the first drafts done by summer with, say, mid-July completion at the latest. Then all the heavy lifting is done and it’s just an issue of cleaning things up before publication.

The secret to getting all the above done and maintaining the schedule is just that: maintaining the schedule. Work on something every day and eventually you’ll get what you need out of it.

Back to work.

This has been your Status Report for 041724.

Axiom-man vs Axiom-man?

Posted on April 13, 2024 10:27 am by A.P. Fuchs

Axiom-man vs Axiom-man?

Had to check in on something with the distributor and say this! The new Axiom-man release is in the lead in my overall book sales but the 10th Anniversay Special Edition of AXIOM-MAN is a close second. I’m glad people are checking out the first book. I hope I win them over so they check out the rest of this superhero series.

The first edition of AXIOM-MAN was written and published at a time when independent superhero books were not a thing. There was me and maybe five other people publishing their own hero. Now, independent superheroes are everywhere. My hope is THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA can keep up.

If you tuned into this week’s newsletter, you got a quick glimpse at an upcoming event in AXIOM-MAN: THE SUMMONING. Newsletter readers and Patreon patrons always get the news first. A perk of part of being in the club.

Anyway, who from the above will ultimately win? Will newcomer the Crimson Cloak beat out a hero that’s been around for a decade and a half? We’ll soon find out in this Axiom-man vs Axiom-man battle!

Be sure to tune into this blog again. Same Axiom time. Same Axiom channel.

Cheers.

Two Superhero Essays

Posted on April 3, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

With AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY coming out very soon, I thought it’d be a good idea to (re)share a two superhero essays on this site in preparation for the Cobalt Crusader to return.

These essays were written a while back but still ring true today in terms of writing superhero fiction.

First, get ready for AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY by checking out THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA in its entirety (or at least the first book).

Essays:

The Axiom-man Origin and Why I Write Superhero Fiction

The Redsaw Origin and How I Write Supervillains

Thanks for checking these out.

Axiom-man returns soon . . .

Still About a Girl: Poetry Book

Posted on March 12, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

Still About a Girl: Poetry Book

Sometimes all you have left is a memory, a time when you found yourself, lost yourself, found yourself again . . . in someone else. And sometimes they leave you anyway, but in the end what they’ve given to you is more than what you could have ever asked for. And though they’re gone you have lived because of them and become so much more. You have experienced what most go through their whole lives without, that four-letter word that impacts the world greater than anything else.

Love.

This a poetry book that will touch your heart and your soul.

Avaible in paperback at:

Amazon (US)

Amazon (CAN)

Amazon (UK)

Barnes and Noble

Available in eBook at:

Coming soon.
