Monday’s Musings -E-Book Settlement

October 15, 2012 by unwasted words

So we’ve all griped about the price of e-books at some point in the past. It’s the nature of the product, after you get past the cost of formatting the thing it’s pure profit. There’s no printing or shipping costs. I know there are a lot of other expenses that go into publishing a book but the mark up ratio between some e-books and their paper counterparts can be crazy. And it seems the judicial system agrees. Some of you, […]

Monday’s Musings -Wish I’d Thought Of That

October 8, 2012 by unwasted words

Sorry I don’t really have time to write something today so I thought I’d let others do the writing for me. Here are a few posts, or features I wish I had here and regularly frequent. Authors Behaving Badly -is a regular feature on Pocketful Of Books. Anna is up to number 13 in her series and is really thorough in siting her sources. Second Lunch -This whole website is hilarious. getsecondlunch.com is an illustrative blog post narrative of everyday things. Also great for fans of […]

Monday’s Musings -What’s New in the World of Sequels

June 18, 2012 by unwasted words

I found some newly released covers and a little Bloodlines news this week. There’s a lot happening in the YA world of sequels! Checkout these newly released covers from some popular series spanning urban fantasy, dystopian, horror, and paranormal romance, lending a little eye candy no matter what your flavor of choice. Jennifer Estep posted the new cover of Mythos Academy book #4 on goodreads. Crimson Frost is sporting a different model, not as pretty as the last one but […]

Monday’s Musings -Red Light Good, Green Light Bad

June 4, 2012 by unwasted words

We all fear the dreaded book to movie adaptation. There has been a lot of chatter about the on again off again relationship between City of Bones and Hollywood. Honestly for me the possible shelving of this project by the current filmmakers was not a bad thing. This is partially due to the casting. I despise the casting so far for either of the lead characters and am very disappointed in the whole Twilight strategy in finding a male lead. […]

Monday’s Musings -The Age of X Process

May 7, 2012 by unwasted words

I recently read a post by Richelle Mead on her blog chronicling her journey in developing a new series. For the past few years Mead has been working on four different series, all of which she’s already established the world and characters for. It’s rare to get a peek into someone’s creative process and I found these posts interesting and thought you might too. Her first post The Age of X Process #1 is mostly about the brainstorming stage and making […]

Monday’s Musings -The Slight of Rewrites

March 26, 2012 by unwasted words

Before I settled on pursuing a design major, I started my vocational study in radio and television in high school, then an associates in film/video and audio production. There I learned the finer points of telling a story in visual and auditory ways. So I know better than most the sacrifices that have to be made when making a movie. But that doesn’t mean that I agree with it. I can understand that it’s difficult to translate a 400 page […]

Monday’s Musings -Critical Thinking

March 19, 2012 by unwasted words

I had a hard time last week getting into a book, I was reading the lines but what I kept thinking about was how awful the author had been acting online. It seems like everywhere I look there’s some new controversy between an author, publisher, their friends, family, and the people who review and blog about books. It can really bum a girl out to read about the bad behavior on the part of an author and their crew. The […]

Monday’s Musings -Game Of Thrones Season 2

March 5, 2012 by unwasted words

If you haven’t been enthralled by the epic HBO Show Game Of Thrones, now is the time to catch up and get hooked. HBO has come a long way from the gritty prison cells of OZ, consistently raising the bar for network and cable television production and writing with original series like The Sopranos, Sex and The City, Six Feet Under, and True Blood. Game Of Thrones reaches a new level of spectacular with their blockbuster movie quality productions from sets […]
