Immersing Readers in the Story World

August 9, 2022August 9, 2022 / E.J. Robison / 2 Comments

Analysing Cinder by Marissa Meyer

August 5, 2022August 5, 2022 / E.J. Robison / Leave a comment

If you've been around for a while, you'll probably have learned by now that I procrastinate reading books that I should have read a long time ago. Obviously, Cinder has been on my radar for a while. I've always loved fairytale retellings, especially when people go crazy with the genre. Cinderella in a futuristic sci-fi … Continue reading Analysing Cinder by Marissa Meyer

5 Things That Make Your Book Look Unprofessional

July 29, 2022July 27, 2022 / E.J. Robison / 4 Comments

In self-publishing, you must wear many hats. So many, in fact, that you start looking like someone who's selling hats. (Reminds me of the book Caps for Sale - anyone else read that as a kid?) Not only are you a writer, but you must also become an editor, a marketer, a publisher... It’s no … Continue reading 5 Things That Make Your Book Look Unprofessional

Analysing First Chapters

July 21, 2022July 21, 2022 / E.J. Robison / 1 Comment

There's nothing quite like cracking open the cover of a book and instantly being immersed in the story. Some writers are just magical, able to immediately transport you into a new world with characters that you instantly care for and want to know more about. Already, you probably have a book or an author in … Continue reading Analysing First Chapters

A New Project…and It’s Non-Fiction?!

I've got a new WIP - and it's not fiction. For those of you worried about the fate of the elusive Project Pea, fear not! It's still my primary focus.

Ancient: Short Story 21

July 18, 2022July 15, 2022 / E.J. Robison / 2 Comments

No. 21/100 100-word short stories for my 100 follower celebration! Dust rises in a small cloud as I run my fingertip gently down the smooth cover. I feel my finger dip as I reach the embossed title, its golden paint long faded away.  I let it sit abandoned for far too long, running from what I … Continue reading Ancient: Short Story 21

An Upside-Down Fantasy World

July 14, 2022July 13, 2022 / E.J. Robison / Leave a comment

Three harsh wooden knocks resounded inside Briar’s skull. She glared at the scaly beast at the front of the room as it waved a mallet in its claws. It shouted unintelligible words, but Briar doubted that anyone apart from her could even hear the sound over the commotion in the vast chamber. These dragons were … Continue reading An Upside-Down Fantasy World
