http://camethystfrost.blogspot.com/2012/06/another-rant-about-bookstores.html
The Written World of C. Amethyst Frost. Friday, June 1, 2012. Another Rant About Bookstores. 8221; called one clever little man, who saw a market for a product and sought a way to deliver. He opened up a shop and sold only books. Hence, the birth of a bookstore. The premise of this is quite simple. There is a need for a product that the customer cannot get at home. If you had chickens, would you go out and buy eggs? Answer: They don’t stand a chance. 8221; The answer will almost always be to shop online&...

The Written World of C. Amethyst Frost: Judging a Book by its Author
http://camethystfrost.blogspot.com/2012/06/judging-book-by-its-author.html
The Written World of C. Amethyst Frost. Thursday, June 14, 2012. Judging a Book by its Author. Five years ago, I stumbled upon a great find. A man and a woman were standing in the middle of the aisle dressed in Celtic/fantasy attire. They were greeting everyone, handing out bookmarks and magnets and, if a lurker lurked about too long, they launched into a pitch about their book. It turns out, these people were co-authors of an independently published book series called Rowan of the Wood. 1600 Words A Day.

The Written World of C. Amethyst Frost: Book Review: Evertaster
http://camethystfrost.blogspot.com/2012/07/book-review-evertaster.html
The Written World of C. Amethyst Frost. Friday, July 20, 2012. I decided to take some time away from authoring and do a little book consumption. I almost mean “consumption” literally, because the book I just finished, Evertaster. By Adam Glendon Sidwell, was good enough to eat. In fact, I dare you to read it without a wealth of snacks in front of you. Guster could taste the dirty corn fed to the chickens Mom used in her casseroles, or the foul rain that fell on the almond trees.”. View my complete profile.

The Written World of C. Amethyst Frost. Saturday, April 28, 2012. Some Assembly Required Publishing. Anyway, as I was saying, I stressed over getting my " Dismal Thoughts. Published. First, I needed a. Whom I found (hi Sarah! A year's worth of stress only took me a day to resolve. I wish I'd had the confidence in myself to know that the some-assembly-required publishing process was not as complicated as I anticipated. Now I have no excuse. It's time to finish book three.

The Written World of C. Amethyst Frost. Wednesday, May 30, 2012. Social Media Brings Me Judy. I discovered through another blog that Mrs. Blume has a website.

The Written World of C. Amethyst Frost: Are you a writer if you're just pretending?
http://camethystfrost.blogspot.com/2012/07/are-you-writer-if-youre-just-pretending.html
The Written World of C. Amethyst Frost. Saturday, July 7, 2012. Are you a writer if you're just pretending? Admittedly, I am often willing to write articles and not take the byline. The reason is that I’m not interested in the subject matter and don’t need or want my byline associated with it. But a book is another matter altogether. A lot of a writer’s heart goes into a book. How do you part with that? July 9, 2012 at 8:12 PM. July 9, 2012 at 8:24 PM. July 9, 2012 at 8:57 PM. Linneann - In every writers...

The Written World of C. Amethyst Frost. Saturday, November 20, 2010. A Page a Day. My first publishing experience is not going as expected, and believe me, I didn’t expect much. You might be wondering what I am doing in the meantime. Am I sitting by the computer all day loading and reloading the online website to see if they’ve corrected the error? Am I staring at my ratings, watching for a change in rank and sales? Well yeah, okay, I do that. But not all day. The Writers’ Block. Monday, November 1, 2010.

The Written World of C. Amethyst Frost. Thursday, December 30, 2010. E-books: Lining my pockets with the death of a friend. A couple of weeks ago, I walked into a local Barnes and Noble and froze. I looked around, took a few steps back, and looked around again. Was I in the wrong store? 8221; I managed to squeak out to the nearest B&N employee. He pursed his lips, looking just as unpleased with the new arrangement. 8220;This is how we stay in business, to keep up with the online bookstores.”. E-books: Li...

The Written World of C. Amethyst Frost: February 2011
http://camethystfrost.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
The Written World of C. Amethyst Frost. Friday, February 4, 2011. I have a manuscript graveyard, a garden of nearly complete stories, each having met its fate through umbilical rot. Each story had dozens of lives inside, characters with feelings and histories who depended on me for closure. I failed them. Decades have gone by. I still promise myself that I will bring them all back to life and finally set them free. Perhaps I will. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. 1600 Words A Day.
