The Writer's Block Podcast

Achieving Climax and Resolution with Stephanie Queen

Whether you are writing fiction, Non-Fiction, a memoir, or are just into creative writing this is the podcast for you. This podcast is more than just about how to write as we cover the why’s, when’s, and where’s of writing. This week Shelly Devlin, Deborah Monk, and Mandra Biscornet interview Stephanie Queen about her work as an author of 29 novels and how she accomplished them in only 7 years. A self-proclaimed procrastinator, she works best under pressure and sets deadlines for herself by setting pre-orders on Amazon 90 days out. This is one great way to help an author push through “the wall” many hit during their writing process especially if you find your self putting your writing off. Other things discussed in this episode are:

• Climax and resolution
• Preparation for writing
• Studying the market for your Memoir prior to its release
  • Read some of the top books in your genre
  • Look for incites in your market
  • Find something that appeals to you and stay true to yourself
  • You are looking for the intersection of the market you are writing in and your own passion
• Getting found in a virtual world with infinite shelf space when nothing goes out of print when it was never printed to begin with
• What an undiscovered author should be pricing their e-book at to get the most market penetration and why.

The Pantser Vs The Plotter

Mandra Biscornet, Deborah Monk, and Shelly Devlin discuss the difference between plotters and pantsers. Plotters plan first and write second whereas Pantsers just write and see where the story goes in real time. John Grisham and JK Rowling are well-known plotters. Steven King and Margret Atwood are great examples of pantsers. What are the pros and cons of each? Which one are you? Can you be both? Are you writing in the form that is right for you?
