“Being a Better Writer: Summer of Cliche Writing Advice!” Announcement · 9:31pm Jul 1st, 2019
Welcome back readers! Today’s post is going to be a bit of an unusual one. Why, you may ask? Well, because of the news you’re about read, which will be followed by a shorter, micro-blast level Being a Better Writer post.
Wait! Don’t skip ahead. The news is about BaBW! The whole Summer of Cliche Writing Advice title? Yeah, that’s vitally important. You don’t want to skip that.
But it’s only half of the news you need to see today. The other half is a heads up that starting tomorrow, June 2nd, my entire lexicon will be on sale! That’s right, all my books. Well, save One Drink, but it literally cannot go any lower in its price. That one’s beyond my control.
But the rest of my library can match it. Starting tomorrow, Dead Silver and Unusual Events: A “Short” Story Collection will both be 99 cents alongside their old sibling.
What of Colony and Shadow of an Empire? 67% off and 50% off, respectively. Grabbing all 1500 pages of Colony‘s 4.5 star-rated adventure will set you back a bare $1.99. And Shadow of an Empire, the wild-west Fantasy Epic? $3.99.
In other words, you can pick up every book I’ve ever written for less than ten bucks. Just in time to start catching up before Jungle arrives in a few months, too.
The Independence Day Weekend Sale is live from July 2nd through July 8th. That’s right, all through the 4th of July weekend! So it’s time to fill out that collection anddetonate a bunch of fireworks!
So, that’s the Independence Day Weekend Sale (it’s an extended weekend, don’t look at me like that)! Now, what about this Summer of Cliche Writing Advice thing mentioned in the title that you really need to hear about?
Should be a fun and interesting set of BaBWs. Here's a cliché I hear a lot: Never use adverbs! It always struck me as a little foolish, as that's a whole category of words in the English language that I'm apparently just not allowed to use.
