I'm not sure I understand the point of the zombie exercise but I'm sure it would be entertaining. Is that training planned through CDC or some local organization? In any event, writers should really try to participate in some of these disaster exercises.

]]> Comment on The coming Author War by Michelle http://denverfictionwriters.com/the-coming-author-war/comment-page-1/#comment-93 Michelle Tue, 22 Mar 2011 17:09:14 +0000 http://denverfictionwriters.com/the-coming-author-war/#comment-93 I really think this is just fear mongering. Bestselling big six authors publishing with indie press, and/or self publishing is nothing new. They've been doing this for 30 + years or more. I really think this is just fear mongering.

]]> Comment on Authors aren’t ronins, they’re masters by B.A. Matthews http://denverfictionwriters.com/authors-arent-ronins-theyre-masters/comment-page-1/#comment-91 B.A. Matthews Sat, 19 Mar 2011 18:25:22 +0000 http://denverfictionwriters.com/authors-arent-ronins-theyre-masters/#comment-91 Just wanted to say that this is a great post. It's a different perspective and one that I hadn't seen before (mind you, could be because I'm still working on writing a book that would be good enough to query or self publish). I will agree that authors tend to give themselves the short end of the stick sometimes. They forget that they are the main characters of their own lives... and if your hero wouldn't bow down to a king but only nod respectfully then they should think about doing the same. They have done something truly impressive by writing something that deserves to be read. They have created a world in words. What could be more worthy of praise and respect?!
