Thoughts
NaNoWriMo 2015 Wrap-Up
Posted by robbneumann on Wednesday, 6 April 2016I haven't spent much time sharing my thoughts here on my website in the past few months, so I thought I'd come back and talk a little about my experience participating in National Novel Writing Month in 2015.
Guest Post On Boom Baby Reviews!
Posted by robbneumann on Friday, 20 November 2015I have a guest post up on Boom Baby Reviews where I wax a little poetic about the vampire myth and whether or not we should be changing our monsters as we create new tales.
It was really fun to write! Thanks to Bella for giving me the change to talk about this subject!
Trigger Warnings?
Posted by robbneumann on Tuesday, 27 October 2015So, you spend months or even years laboring on your book. You fill it with observations on life that might be your own, interject ideas or themes that horrify you, and add bits and pieces of your own life that are precious and sacred to you. You mine current events, overheard antidotes, dreams, fears, and slices of your own experiences in order to craft something new and speak to something you think no one else has said. It's not an accident when a writer refers to his or her work as their "baby," and like a proud parent, a writer imagines and hopes for their creation's future.
