Issue # 34
July/August
2006
For some reason getting the July/August
issue of Vision up is almost always a problem. It seems that the mid-year
work is difficult -- people have things to do, and coordinating between all
of them is very difficult. Themes seem to have disappeared this year,
but the articles I'm getting are so good that I don't care!
So here, a few days late, is Issue # 34,
filled with some wonderful advice and information for writers.
I hope that you enjoy the issue, and please
feel free to drop me a note if you are reading Vision. I love to hear
from you!

Upcoming Themes:
Remember that theme articles are only a
small part of the issue, and I always need articles on other aspects of
writing. Please submit material! We are open to writers at all
levels of publication, and I'm as likely to publish a new author as a known
one.

September/October (Deadline August 10th)-- Learning from
other genres
Limiting yourself to
one genre, both in writing and reading, is ignoring a
treasure trove of helpful information. Your romance might
benefit from a little mystery, and your science fiction from
a little romance. What can we learn from genres outside our
own?
November/December --
Children aren't stupid
Writing for children does not mean 'dumbing down' a story.
Characters, experiences, and voice play important roles in
children's books. What are some of the tricks that can help
adults think like a child again, but communicate like an
adult? |
