    Marathon writing. You may have heard of it. It’s the method of writing a book in a very, very short amount of time.

    Listen as writer and artist A.P. Fuchs explains the process. It’s very simple, but do you have it in you?

    Reader Questions: What Application do You Use and is Paper Involved Anymore?

    reader questions what application do you use and is paper involved anymore

    In our electronic age where most is done on-screen, asking if a writer still uses paper is a valid one. I can’t speak for other writers regarding their own process, but me? Both are involved from start to finish.

    All is explained in this writing video so please be sure to check it out. Perhaps this electronic and paper mix might be of assistance to your own work?

    See you inside the video.

  • Authortube: Every Writer Should Listen to Eminem (Opinion)

    Posted on June 25, 2025 1:03 pm by A.P. Fuchs

    Authortube: Every Writer Should Listen to Eminem (Opinion)

    Authortube Every Writer Should Listen to Eminem

    Turns of phrase. Manipulation of words. Writing beats and pacing. Take a concept and tell it once then spin it around and tell it again. There are so many versions of wordplay out there and it is every writer’s duty to play with those words if they want to bring their writing up a level or three.

    A.P. Fuchs is of the opinion that every writer should listen to Eminem at least once. The man is a master at lyrics, poetry, flips of script and turns of phrase. Plenty of lessons about wordplay and pacing can be obtained by listening to his music.

    Watch this short video as Fuchs explains why every writer should listen to Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers, the one and only Eminem.

    Thanks.

    What is purple prose?

    You might have heard the term from seasoned writers or those just beginning. You might have even heard the term from your English teacher–but what is it?

    Well, it has a boring definition with boring examples so in this video we cut to the heart of it and explain it simply and easily and how to avoid this writing crime.

    Let’s go purple and have some educational fun!

    Cheers and enjoy!

  • Authortube: Should You Listen to Your Editor? | General Best Practice

    Authortube: Should You Listen to Your Editor? | General Best Practice

    vLog Authortube Should You Listen to Your Editor General Best Practice video

    In the age of new writers emerging all the time and various qualities of work being put out there, sometimes you wonder if an editor was involved or not?

    So the question to writers is: Should you listen to your editor?

    This video is a general, broadbrush statement on best practice when it comes to this question. Obviously, not all scenarios and specifics could be discussed unless you wanted a twelve-season Blu-ray set. Haha.

    The comments are open for discussion regarding certain scenarios or specifics.

    Thanks.

  • Authortube: Beta Readers | An Opinion from a Self-publishing Veteran

    Authortube: Beta Readers | An Opinion from a Self-publishing Veteran

    vLog Authortube Beta Readers An Opinion from a Self-publishing Veteran thumbnail

    Prompted by a Facebook post upon which I was able to give my opinion on beta readers, I decided to make this Authortube video discussing the same and give my answer in video form as well.

    Warning, this video might be controversial and you might not agree with what I have to say. That’s fair and that’s your right. This is just the opinion of a self-publishing veteran (22 years) who’s part of the old guard of writers, so to speak.

    For those curious, I’ve played the role of author, publisher, and editor. I’ve done deals with New York and abroad. My label was also a traditional publishing house for a time. These items are listed so you know where I’m coming from.

    Anyway, please enjoy this old guy’s opinion on beta readers and if a writer should use them or not.

    Thanks for watching.

    Who says superheroes and other Pop Culture characters only get Funko Pops!

    Here’s authors A.P. Fuchs (superheroes and monsters) and Melinda Marshall (dystopian YA novels) Funko Pops!

    Last Christmas I got myself, my girlfriend, and my kids custom-made Funko Pops as a gift. It was done through the Pop Yourself feature at Funko.com. It was a little round-about way to get them because Funko doesn’t ship to Canada (at least when I ordered last October) so I had to first ship to someone I know in the States then have them ship the Pops to me. It took a while but it certainly made everybody at Christmas happy and very surprised.

    Go Pop Yourself at Funko.com!

    Don’t forget to stay to the end for more Funk Pop! videos.

  • Authortube: What to do When You Write Yourself into a Corner (and How to Get Out of It)

    Authortube: What to do When You Write Yourself into a Corner

    (and How to Get Out of It)

    vLog Authortube what to do when you write yourself into a corner thumbnail

    It’s okay. It happens. Sometimes the story rolls so strong you just go with it and see where it takes you. Unfortunately, though I firmly believe the Story knows best, sometimes a writer finds themselves in a place where they have written themselves into a corner and there is no way to move the story forward. Everything and everybody in your tale is stuck and locked in Time. You tried to fix it but only made it worse. You don’t want to scrap it or rewrite a pile of stuff that came before this point, and even if you backtracked, it wouldn’t be the same. What you have is perfect except . . . you’re in a corner.

    Here’s how you get out of it and get the story moving again.
