    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: 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.

    Authortube: How to Write Your Back Cover Synopsis | 3 Easy Steps

    vLog authortube booktube how to write a plot synopsis three easy steps thumbnail

    Most writers complain when it comes to part of making a book where the back cover synopsis has to be written. Plenty of writers struggle with writing it . . . but it doesn’t have to be that way because, in truth, it’s a basic process. Case in point: If you’re able to sum up your book in one to four words as a title, it’s guaranteed you can sum up the same but just a little more loosely.

    Follow these three simple steps and you’ll be writing your back cover synopsis with ease.

    Authortube: Freelancing: The Follow Up | Manners

    vLog authortube booktube Freelancing The Follow Up Manners thumbnail

    So, when to follow up with an employer?

    This just happened at the time the video was made. I decided to make the video a little fired up because the arts are all about honesty and honest expression so that’s what you’re getting here.

    The same rules of manners regarding the follow up is the same for freelancers as it is for working in the public or private sector. This is it on how to be a professional freelaner.

    This is basic stuff. We learned this in kindergarden. I hope you learn something from this video, especially if you’re new to the freelancing world.

    Authortube: A.P. Fuchs Superhero and Monster Writer Launched!

    Authortube YouTube logo

    Did a pile of work this weekend, one of which was sending CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS off to press. If all goes to plan, it’ll be out June 1, 2024.

    In the meantime, I’ve been doing a lot of Authortube videos so I decided to make an official playlist for them for you to enjoy. I also took the time to link one video to the next to ensure a smooth viewing experience. Please click the graphic above to be taken to the playlist. Also be sure to subscribe because there are plenty of Authortube videos coming, including a separate series on writing basics, the goal being that if you get the basics down as your foundation, everything else is just finer-point details going forward. Plus, if you understand the basics of writing–in this case, fiction–then it’ll save you a pile of headaches and frustration later come the revision process. It’ll also help ensure a quality book instead of the stuff being released today where writers don’t even understand the basics of writing and rush right into publishing.

    Anyway, these Authortube videos are meant to get your head in the right space for creativity, the publishing business, and the craft in general.

    Enjoy.

    Today’s we’re off to the races, er, to press to put the soon-to-be-released CAUGHT AND BLACK HEADLIGHTS into the publishing machine.

    This video carries an assortment of behind the scenes looks into the my process of checking a book prior to press then going to press itself. If you’re a book production or creation nerd (I mean, book designer), this video is for you.

    Peace. Enjoy.

    Poetry coming.

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

    vLog authortube booktube how to get past the writing wall writers block thumbnail

    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.
