The Whole Damn Thing
April 4, 2015! Write it on your calendar! Add it to your scheduler. Tell your assistant to put it on the Googamaphone! April 4 is the official release date for Nightingale, Book One of the The League Cycle! I’ll have more announcements soon as the date draws closer. There are […]
Nightingale Release Date Announced!
You know the drill by now. The Terribleminds Flash Fiction Challenge for this week is dealer’s choice with a twist, you couldn’t finish the story. I’ll be quite curious to see what Chuck has in mind (and who’s story I get to finish next week). As far as unfinished stories go, […]
Flash Fiction Challenge: Runner 2
I was excited as hell when I rolled Kaiju and Bio-Punk as my mashup for this week’s Flash Fiction Challenge: The SubGenre Blender over at terribleminds. Only problem was, I spent the next half a day completely stonewalled because there were too many directions for me to take! Then, on […]
Flash Fiction Challenge: What Rough Beast
Something a little different this week for the Terrible Minds Flash Fiction challenge. The challenge Must Contain Three Things gave me public drunkenness, poison, and a box of photographs. So rather than try to weave that into something genre laden, I decided to go with a realistic story of murder and betrayal […]
Flash Fiction Challenge: Murder by Numbers (1, 2…)
So we’ve got fantasy again this week for the Terrible Minds Flash Fiction challenge. But, really, how could I not answer the call and throw down some dark, messy fantasy when I rolled a 19 and a 6 for It’s X Meets Y!: “It’s like Game of Thrones meets Scooby Doo!” I’ve […]
Flash Fiction Challenge: The Collectors
Over on the incorrigible Chuck Wendig’s blog, Terrible Minds, he posts a regular feature, the Flash Fiction Challenge. It’s a great way to ditch the anchors of continuity and plot, get out on the highway, and just open the engine wide. And, being Wendig, the prompts themselves are usually a […]
Flash Fiction Challenge: Born Again
Slightly off word count tonight; but I’m OK wrapping up the day with this: “No matter. He had the raw material he needed.It was time to remake the world.” I started the day off this morning with a ridiculously costumed villain that came to me in the wee hours of […]
#AmWriting Day 2: Stay on Target
So earlier today, I tweeted this: Last year I set a goal to write and publish my first book before I hit 40. Maybe I should tweak it slightly to write 2 before 40 #6weeks— Anthony Karcz (@Sunstreaker84) July 9, 2014 Then after the coffee wore off and I got […]
On Writing and Big Hairy Deadlines
The End is Nigh offers up end of the world nightmare scenarios by some of my favorite authors: Hugh Howey, Seanan McGuire, and Paolo Bacigalupi (among many others). I’m usually not one to go in for anthologies. They can can be questionably curated, with only a few stories worth the price […]
