Who Are Some of Your Favorite Victorian Writers?
StandardIn the next entry in my series on favorite writers, I want to consider Victorian authors, with a time period defined as the time of Queen Victoria’s reign–1837-1901. This period has been filled with many excellent writers, and I will focus on only a few as my choices. I could, however, easily expand my list.
Without further discussion, here are three of my favorite Victorian writers:
Charles Dickens
Dickens was an extraordinary success, both as a popular writer and with critics. His work is part of the body of literature, and he has touched much of the population of the world. Among his most important and well-known pieces are A Christmas Carol, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations.
Thomas Hardy
He achieved much in fewer novels than Dickens. Among his novels are Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Jude the Obscure, and Far From The Madding Crowd.
Emily Bronte
While writing only one novel, her extraordinary Gothic piece, Wuthering Heights, places her among the great Gothic writers.
So, I ask all of you, who are some of your favorite Victorian writers?
National Library Week!
Standard
What is one of the places in most communities where people can go to find information, use computers, talk to other people, and most importantly, read books for free? Your public library is a wonderful and important resource.
I have loved libraries since I was a child; I remember going to the branch library in my town with my mother and siblings. I thought it was such a large and magical place. This library was actually a fairly small building, but the magic inside was enormous, and that was the magic of books and reading! That small, local branch library begin my life long love of libraries.

Some of the institutions are magnificent city libraries, and some are small, but they are all important. Whether in a metropolis like New York City or a tiny town of 500, these treasure troves of knowledge and books all serve the people who use them.
Please support your local libraries!
A Major Revision Change In My Fantasy Novel in Progress
Standard
As I was in bed last night, beginning to fall asleep, I suddenly had a fire of understanding about my fantasy novel, which is now near the completion of its second draft. I was very tired and did not want to get up, but I have learned never to ignore such realizations. If I do not at least jot down a few sentences, the new comprehension would be gone in the morning.
This nocturnal understanding will certainly set up the work for the third draft of this work in progress. The setting is now completely different from what it had been, and the basis for the major characters became clarified. I now understand why they are doing what they are doing, and what the foundations of their relationships.
Now, it is time to get started on draft # 3!
Have any of you had such late night sudden writing understandings?

Indie Book Month — Promote Your Books
Standard
On Twitter, there is a movement called #IndieApril, so I thought it was a good idea to import to WordPress. Independent writers are the growing force in publishing, so please take this opportunity to publicize and promote your work!
I want to offer an opportunity for all writers who follow this blog to share information on their books. It can be very difficult to generate publicity for our writing, so I thought this little effort might help. All books may be mentioned, and there is no restriction on genre. This encompasses fiction, poetry, plays, and non-fiction. If I have neglected to mention a genre, please consider it to be included.
To participate, simply give your name, your book, information about it, and where to purchase it in the comments section. Then please be willing to reblog and/or tweet this post. The more people that see it, the more publicity we can generate for everyone’s books.
Thank you for participating!
Keep on writing!
Celebrate and promote your writing! Shout it out to the world! Let everyone know about your work!
Let everyone know that you are a writer! Be proud of it!
Feel free to promote a new or an older book!
I hope this idea is successful, and I hope many people share information on their books!
I will continue to have this party every few weeks.
