Writer Wednesday: M.J. Pearson, gay historical romance

While looking for interesting writer sites, I came across M.J. Pearson’s extensive writing links page. I was surprised to see she writes gay historical romance, and was glad to see she has a number of books of this genre (called Slash). Imagine any romance book, but with male couples. I found it rather enlightened and fresh.

She offers samples of her writing, provides a page on writing tips, and, of course, read through the links page.

Some sage advice from a bestseller author

I love watching John Green’s vlog on youtube channel, called Vlogbrothers.  Basically, its John Green (author of bestseller The Fault in Our Stars ) who vlogs back and forth with his brother Hank Green (known for his education channel of the Sci Show- which I like to use in my homeschooling). They also helped from Nerd fighters, who work towards increase awesome and ending work suck.

So his video, see below), he shares some of his childhood stories, and points out some flaws in the storytelling that works for adult writing as well. Amusing as well as informative.
