  • Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time Podcast Now on Patreon

    Posted on June 20, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

    Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time Podcast Now on Patreon

    Realm of Heroes and Monsters Story Time with A.P. Fuchs Podcast

    It’s a work-in-progress but all episodes of the REALM AND HEROES: STORY TIME podcast with A.P. FUCHS are now being uploaded to Patreon with free access to all. The feed also syncs with Spotify, if that’s your podcast venue.

    It’ll take a bit to upload them all but we’re making steady progress. The watch/listen version is already there but I wanted the purely audio version there as well since, well, that’s what podcasts are: audio. I’m just really glad the Story Time Podcast is now on Patreon.

    Join me and my patrons for horror, monsters, superheroes, books, comics, essays, and a whole bunch of other stuff–including the podcast!–on Patreon via the graphic above.

    See you there.

    Status Report – 061824:

    We’ve been busy behind the scenes here at Axiom-man Central. Here’s a rundown of what’s currently going on this superhero year:

    • AXIOM-MAN: THE SUMMONING: About 1/3 complete with plans to finish mid-July then move on to AXIOM-MAN: TRANSFORMATIONS.
    • Axiom-man in-house collectibles for direct order and conventions and signings: Playing cards – in and done. Stickers – in and done. Special high-end-soon-to-be-revealed Axiom-man collectible – in production with an ETA at Axiom-man Central of approximately two weeks.
    • Blog/website coding upgrade: In process but gaining ground.
    • YouTube offerings: Set for the week.
    • Patreon: New material being slowly added for future postings.
    • In-house book stock: Under inventory review with the mind to get in copies of the first half of the year’s releases in July plus any additional stock I might need.
    • Secret FREDRIKUS project: Slowly coming along. Very slowly.
    • Freelancing: Two projects in the pipeline

    That’s about all my headspace can handle at the moment for immediate work. There are some other up-in-the-air items as well, but those are in a floating-in-the-ether stage without any firm landing point.

    All we can do is focus on the above, get it done, then continue.

    This has been your Status Report for 061824.

    Authortube: Don’t Overthink the Story (The Subconscious Mind)

    vLog Authortube Don't Overthink the Story The Subconscious Mind thumbnail

    There is a tendency to overthink while writing, especially amongst new writers. You want to do well, want to make a good impression, want to come up with something well-written and perhaps clever, and while these goals are good, they can also lead to the slippery slope of overthinking your story.

    This video goes over adjusting your headspace so there is no disconnection between your conscious and subconscious mind due to overthinking your story.

    The solution is simple. Watch and find out.

  • The Glamorous Life of a Writer: Writing Axiom-man

    The Glamorous Life of a Writer:

    Writing Axiom-man

    As you can see, the writing life is just like the movies. I have an assistant, a publisher ringing my phone off the hook because I’m late on deadline and they need the manuscript ASAP, stacks of notebooks and looms of paper. Books line the walls and typewriters and pens litter the table.

    But if you squint your eyes just the right way, you’ll see the truth about a writer writing. This is how I bring you stories. This is where the work is done.

    This . . . is writing Axiom-man.

    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.

  • Status Report – 052324

    Posted on May 23, 2024 6:41 am by A.P. Fuchs
    status-report-052324

    Status Report 052324:

    I heard back from Archives Canada regarding my reserved eBook ISBN number for CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS. I’m in a position to upload now but when I do, I want to make sure my head is clear so I can make any last-minute adjustments correctly. This may happen within the next couple if days but definitely this weekend so we’re still on track for release.

    For those who read my recent newsletter, I came to an agreement with myself that for the secret Fredrikus project, if we average one item every few days, we’ll be in good shape come time when other stuff is wiped off the plate. Then after that, things will bulldoze ahead and my comic goals for 2024 will be met.

    Yesterday, I posted about how to overcome writer’s block. You can check out the entry here or the direct video here.

    Further, THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: THE VERY LONG YEAR SIX is about 70% formatted, which keeps us on track for an end-of-June release.

    Lastly, work on the BATTLE OF POWER TRILOGY is still underway and thus far we are on schedule. I’m going to be putting down a lot of words in the near future and I know I’ll feel lighter once the first installment is complete. The other two installments all feed from that one so once that one is complete, then it’s kind of an issue of expanding on it but not in a purple prose way. In a more story way. As mentioned, this concludes the first act of THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA.

    This has been your Status Report for 052324.
