Reading for Writers: Spotlight on Second Life Fiction Authors
Hedda’s Hot Picks “Reading for Writers” by Hedda Hazelnut This week ‘s post will spotlight some of the fiction authors in Second Life (SL). To start I want to introduce you to a great new venue. A week ago Metaverse Books in SL held its grand opening. You can visit at the following slurl. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Market%20Truths/111/213/33 Here you will find books by many SL authors with links to webpages and downloads. You can also join their group for announcements of upcoming presentations and find out more on www.metaversebooks.com where they have recordings of their author presentations available. This opening was very exciting for me ...
Inspiring World: 1920s Berlin
Many writers often start a story with a character that has been speaking to them, begging the writers to develop a story around the character. Sometimes, it's good to start with the setting because place, time, history, context plays a lot in how a story might be written. For that reason, I decided to pick a roleplaying locale in Second Life® that is steeped in history and setting and plays a definitive role in how the characters of that locale dress and act: 1920s Berlin. The 1920s Berlin Project, created by Jo Yardley, opened in its current location on July ...

We have much pleasure in announcing The Judas Kiss Virtual Book Tour, beginning Monday April 29th and continuing through to midnight on Saturday May 11th, 2013 . This well-received urban fantasy has garnered some wonderful reviews: “The different tales, switching points of view, and Makabi's written tale was superbly handled. I was taken with how real she made every single one of those historical settings. I know I've said it before, but it was truly incredible how so very real she made everyone, particularly in Makabi's gospel. Nothing was stilted ...
What is a Word Scrimmage?
A Word Scrimmage is an event in which participants write or type as fast as they can for a set time limit with the aim of increasing the word count on their current novel or work in progress. The participant who has written the most at the end of the scrimmage is declared the winner. The event is held regularly on Second Life®, at the 3d home of Virtual Writers, Inc. and on Twitter under the #virtualwriters and #wordscrim hashtags. This word-boosting technique is also known as a word war and is often used during NaNoWriMo and Script Frenzy. Current Scrimmage Times on ...
