It’ll Be All (Re)Write On The Night

Posted In: Scream Street, Writing

Well, the new draft of SS4 is in, and a tricky little monkey it’s been to complete, this one (as you’ll know if you’ve read some of my recent posts).  Lots of cutting and pasting to get the order of plots and sub-plots exactly right and to help keep the action flowing at a steady […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Hearing what I’ve written read aloud by someone else, with the inflections and tones they put into the text, can really help to show me what works […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

So, the third draft of SS3: Heart of the Mummy is written and in.  I had a lot of fun with this one; the mummy character in the title is a joy to write for. Now it’s back to work on SS5, which I can exclusively reveal will be called Skull of the Skeleton.  I […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Writers’ Block – A Clean Approach

by Tommy on April 9th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Posted In: Scream Street, Writing

Now, I don’t actually subscribe to the notion of writers’ block; if you can’t write, it’s because you don’t know enough about your story or characters. Something that can easily be fixed with a brainstorming session, allowing you to proceed. I do, however, believe in the situation where a writer doesn’t know what should come […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

What A Card!

by Tommy on April 30th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Posted In: Scream Street, Writing

I’ve been working on the Scream Street Collector’s Cards today.  Each book will have four cards to cut out and keep inside (although I think the first may have two cards and a bookmark) – but, the Scream Street cards go that little bit further than other series I could mention…  You can play a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
