Once upon a time, Yzabel Ginsberg made a deal with the God of Dreams, whom she might have swindled out of a few extra seeds of wild imagination. From her current home in London, this strange French woman always clad in black weaves many webs of stories, whether on paper or through the delicate art of online storytelling. Rumour has it that she will only stop when Death comes to claim her, but even that is less than certain. In the meantime, you can follow her at http://www.facebook.com/YzabelGinsberg. ...more

Grow a pair of virtual big, bad, hairy balls.

Seriously.

Because once you have those, you're basically free to sail wherever your writing takes you. 1-star reviews? Harsh critiques? Beta-readers pointing out huge plot holes? Editors leaving a ton of red comments on every page? Bring it on, baby! I can take everything.(less)

Hey, that makes it two questions! ;)

1) It depends on what "writer's block" entails. In my case, it very seldom stems from a lack of ideas, and has more to do with wanting to do something else more than I want to write. So I basically have to kick myself in the butt, come up with self-imposed deadlines, and tell my so-called Muse to stuff it and get back to work. (I don't like calling that thing a Muse either, come to think of it. It's too dignified a word.)

2) Both, actually. I loosely build a frame around what I consider "the turning-point scenes", and start writing from there. But if I come up with an idea that would make the story better, and/or would allow me to get rid of a plot hole (hello, Slicer, I'm waving at you here), I rearrange things within my "frame". It *has* to be better, though. I'm not doing that with just any idea.(less)

Chamber of Music is here

Actually, it's been available for a solid week, but I don't like posting everything at once everywhere (blog, Facebook, Twitter...), so I refrained from doing so on Goodreads.

Until now (thank you, Captain Obvious).

Chamber of Music (PSG International Anthology of Short Stories) by Charlotte Ashley Just like last year with Library of Dreams, PSG Publishing has released a second anthology, this time with "music" as its main theme. Music is the one thing every human community on Read more of this blog post »

Tony Kushner
“Don't be afraid; people are so afraid; don't be afraid to live in the raw wind, naked, alone...Learn at least this: What you are capable of. Let nothing stand in your way.”
Tony Kushner, Millennium Approaches

Jim Butcher
“And I knew that there was some dark corner of me that would enjoy using magic for killing—and then long for more. That was black magic, and it was easy to use. Easy and fun. Like Legos”
Jim Butcher, Fool Moon

“Why do we love the idea that people might be secretly working together to control and organise the world? Because we don't like to face the fact that our world runs on a combination of chaos, incompetence and confusion.”
Jonathan Cainer

Margaret Atwood
“Ignoring isn’t the same as ignorance, you have to work at it.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

John Steinbeck
“The last clear definite function of men—muscles aching to work, minds aching to create beyond the single need—this is man.”
