The New World of Publishing: Stop Submitting Manuscripts to Traditional Publishers |
(Warning!!! I am talking about novels only here, NOT short fiction… The short fiction markets play under other rules and are fine. The top magazines and anthologies don’t buy all rights or hold your rights forever. David Farland did a balanced post on the question of when to be an indie writer or when to sell to traditional publishing. Dave broke apart the idea that some genres are better than others for indie publishing. And if you are at the level of David Farland or any of the other writers he mentioned (all friends of mine as well), you have clout to negotiate a novel contract to get out of some of the horrid stuff publishers are putting in smaller-book contracts. But most writers these days don’t have that kind of clout. And almost no new writer does. Just to be clear… Your clout is basically measured by the desire of the publisher for the project (or you as an author). So who really understands the choice a writer must make with a contract?

Strange Tips To Get You Writing
I’m writing this because I cannot start writing. So many times I jot down a script idea - a character, a setting, an inciting incident – but nothing becomes of these. Instead, I procrastinate. Sound familiar? Yet, somewhere in this procrastination my mind thought up some wacky ways to start writing that I think I’ll try and could be useful for you, fellow screenwriters. Some may seem incredibly obvious, but hopefully some new things will be discovered. So sit back, relax and enjoy the strange ideas I’ve conjured up (then after reading this, immediately put them into action) Do not just explore, get lost. Do your research. Go back in time. Shut down your pc/mac, delete your scriptwriting software, it’s time to pick up pen and paper or invest in a typewriter. Don't just come up with a character, become your character. This is so silly, this is so daft. Use your senses. Do not go to a place and scribble down what you see. Don’t just ask ‘what if’ but ask ‘so what?’ This one speaks for itself.
