Flying Sparks Issue 7 Page 4 Is Up

August 29, 2013 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

http://flyingsparkscomic.com/archive/issue-7-page-5/ Our lovely comic page of the week. Thanks again  Jethro Morales and Shannon Perkins on artistic duties.  I’ve always stated that I love the character moments where two of my characters really start to build something between each other or change, beyond what you see in a lot of superhero comics. In my early issues, […]

Adventures From The Slush Pile #2: Magic, Technologies and Resolutions

August 26, 2013 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

Not everything you read in a slush pile is negative. It’s hard not to get jaded when reading, a lot of the time, because you see the same mistakes repeatedly. But even some mistakes can give you an epiphany about your own writing that don’t click until you see it. I’ve heard it said a […]

Adventures From The Slush Pile #1

August 23, 2013 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

Some of you may know that I do slush pile reading for speculative short stories. I am the first set of eyes that reads your story, and determines whether the editors should bother reading it. Since I’m going to be doing this work for the foreseeable future, I thought it may be handy to post […]

Distant Memories

August 22, 2013 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

A friend of mine is sick, and it reminded me of the first time I truly recall being sick, and spending time on my back. I was probably 10 years old or so, and had a late onset of the chicken pox. It was pretty miserable. I was itchy, crabby, splotchy, everything associated with it. […]

Word Count Per Day?

August 19, 2013 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

I was asked by a reader, “How many words do you write per day?” Quick answer is: I wish I were that regimented! It’d certainly make my time tables easier to determine. Long answer:  It depends on what I’m doing. 1. When it comes to writing comics: I always outline an issue first when I’m […]

The Advantages of A Good Critique Group

August 12, 2013 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

I’m about 40% through my first revision of my first novel, tentatively titled Starcrossed, and I started thinking about potential interesting topics along the lines of editing and revision. This part of the process is both the most challenging and rewarding part of writing, so I’m happy to pass on what I’ve learned. Novel revision is […]

What Are Your Favorite Books And Why?

August 8, 2013 by Jon Del Arroz Leave a Comment

I was asked today to fill out a survey for a publisher, and one of the questions was about favorite books. I won’t reprint the entire survey since I’m sure they intend to use it, but thought this was interesting. Now my top two books stay the same pretty regularly. I know this because they’re the […]
