Text of the page (random words):
re writing the story it was intentional noir and horror are pretty closely related i think and i wanted to write something that really brought in los angeles as a setting i really didn t want this to be a generic uf but still wanted to play with the tropes as much as i knew how i tried to tilt them all to one side to hopefully keep them interesting and put a different spin on them it makes me really happy for some reason to hear it was intentional i love urban fantasy as a genre but the settings can be generic and setting to me is very important dead things really did take the standard tropes and twist them on the head so the stuff i love about the genre is there but still felt fresh and new your main character eric carter is a necromancer i ve read tons of books about death magic that gloss over what someone with those sorts of powers would actually experience which is why when i read dead things and saw how you focused on eric s grief and isolation i was pumping my fist into the air shouting yessss was it hard to write from this perspective it was easy in that i think i understand the character well enough to be able to express how he s feeling which isn t always a straightforward thing but hard in that well writing about grief is always hard we don t like to look at it and it s certainly brought up some things for me that i wasn t expecting i think as a character carter s not done grieving particularly because so much of what s gone wrong for him is his own fault that s something i hope to explore more in the next book i see him as having a perspective on death that actually makes it harder for him to grieve he s constantly surrounded by reminders of what s on the other side and it isn t pretty every day he sees tragedy after tragedy and he never gets a break from it it wears on him one of the things about grief and we ve all run into this at some point in our lives is that it requires a certain amount of stillness you have to be able to think about it and face it and carter doesn t get that chance that is a wonderful point and one that i hadn t considered yet makes notes and there is something wonderfully awful reading about a character making bad decisions and then trying to climb out of that mess by making worse decisions what does your typical writing schedule look like weekends and evenings i have a full time day job and so i have to wedge writing in wherever i can it s easy to get overextended and i m running into that right now actually while writing what do you struggle with the most time more than anything even full time writers struggle with this so i m nobody special and i don t know that having more time would necessarily help i d probably just piss it away on videogames is there any one book or author you feel inspires you the most i think there s a group of writers who really do that for me chuck wendig kevin hearne jaye wells karina cooper richard kadrey tobias buckell kat richardson and that s just who i can think of right off the top of my head for some of them it s their prose some of them it s their plotting all of them it s their work ethic i feel like a slacker next to these people if someone asked me to make a list of my favorite authors that would be a good start to that list is there a third book in the series planned please say yes there is i m working on it now actually i m playing with about half a dozen different titles at the moment so i m not sure which one s going to stick after that who knows hopefully my publisher will want more books i have at least two more planned and would love to keep writing them you hear that everyone go out and buy ten copies each so he gets a contract for more books you re rather hilarious on twitter with your fake horoscopes how do you divine such wisdom pig s blood aeromancy i dance naked in the moonlight and am showered by divine wisdom that may actually just be the sprinklers in the backyard and most importantly during the inevitable zombie apocalypse what is your survival plan who says i m going to survive if we re being swarmed by the undead i m switching sides or plan b since i plan on learning the ancient art of necromancy is i ll keep you as a pet zombie writer mwhahaha thanks so much for stopping by posted by elizabeth poole at 7 28 am 3 comments labels broken souls interviews stephen blackmoore tuesday august 5 2014 interview with delilah s dawson hi everyone i m really excited to welcome delilah to my website to talk about her newest release servants of the storm ever since i read the blurb and saw the cover for this book i ve been excited to get my hands on this book i m already halfway through it and it s so so so so so so good you can buy it at amazon barnes and nobles and other book stores of your choosing without further ado here s delilah edited to add i am so sorry this didn t post first thing this morning like i had it scheduled i have no idea what went wrong and i didn t get to my computer until just now because basically everything from leaky faucets to toddlers refusing to nap happened today describe yourself in one tweet author geek centaur takes writing srsly does not take self srsly likes cake boots corybantic fierce introverted butt won t quit what is your favorite paragraph in servants of the storm honestly i have no idea i gave away my last arc and am waiting for my author copies to be delivered i really love the creepy dream scene which was the first scene i wrote in the book where did the idea for servants of the storm come from this http www lovethesepics com 2011 05 creepy crusty crumbling illegal tour of abandoned six flags new orleans 75 pics i saw these pics of six flags new orleans after hurricane katrina and had to write about it dovey herself came from an ad flier from ulta add in my husband s stories about growing up in savannah plus demons and you ve got it servants of the storm has a dark tone to it demons dead best friends hurricanes than even your blud series which has an occasional satisfying dark bent to it was it difficult to separate yourself from the grief and loss i assume dovey feels how did you juggle writing an emotionally heavy book with real life experience i had an emotionally rough childhood and learned to lock those memories up and focus on the good parts i also have a very dark playlist that i used every time i was writing or editing servants and i conditioned myself to be in that world when i heard the music once the music was off the darkness lifted of course now when i hear saturnalia by the gutter twins i immediately feel precarious and vulnerable and bleak i have since listening to this entire album and guys it s moody dark goodness did you do anything different to prepare for writing a ya southern gothic read certain books watch certain movies since your other books are romance steampunk i write whatever idea obsesses me and completely immerse myself in that world i did take a few research trips including visits to savannah cemeteries and some great horse drawn carriage tours with my brother in law the dread pirate robert i don t actually use movies to help me get into book worlds although i do watch pride and prejudice a lot when writing blud and firefly when trying to make characters more complex do you have any tips for people writing southern gothic gothic horror if you re not intimately familiar with the setting go there and feel it i originally wanted to write about new orleans and katrina but i d never been to new orleans and didn t want to dishonor anyone who d lived through a real hurricane so i moved the story to savannah where my husband is from and mined him and our visits there for setting details the alley where dovey takes her trash is the alley behind the house where he grew up paper moon cafe was a real coffee shop that my husband took me to in the 90s the smell and feel of savannah the way the heat sits on you and the trees go skeletal with moss like a scarf that s very real and you can t write those details unless you ve experienced them picking a dark place like savannah helps did you find it difficult to get into that creepy atmospheric mind set while writing or did it come naturally very naturally i m a creepy girl and savannah is a creepy place i feel quite at home in cemeteries i ve read that you enjoy reading horror one of my favorite genres any horror recommendations i need to read current horror books more widely but i started reading stephen king when i was 11 or so and it influenced me heavily i did blurb ask me by kimberly pauley which is a fun ya that has forever scared me away from florida forests and i recently bought rot and ruin by jonathan maberry so i need to get on that i know you occasionally post your spotify playlist for your novels are there any specific bands or songs that you feel encompasses servants best there is a playlist for servants but the core of it is the saturnalia album by the gutter twins i have never listened to music so bleak and dark and powerful it feels like walls crumbling to me whenever i hear florence and the machine s what the water gave me i get the same sort of feels the cover for servants of the storm gives me drowning watery graves swampy isolation unquiet spirits aw yay that s so cool i need to listen you are extremely good at world building both in creating worlds and rendering them without going too short or too long did you read books on world building or was it all trial and error if you were to give aspiring writers three pieces of advice for efficient world building what would it be i ve always been an avid reader and world building came relatively naturally to me my first books were actually flawed in that the worlds were rich and specific while the characters were flat and almost cardboard cut outs i teach a class on world building for litreactor http litreactor com classes become a god with delilah s dawson that includes lots of tips and a first chapter critique but if i had to choose only three pieces of advice i would say 1 your world must be internally consistent which means environment must gel with religion science society it has to make sense 2 your world must challenge your characters it can t be too easy 3 maximize details to draw your world in text instead of purple prose when i see a big paragraph that starts with the hills were i tune out if you re bored writing or reading it your readers will be bored delilah also teaches a kick ass class on world building here if you want to find out more ha thanks when you have a new idea is there a certain process you use to tease the idea into a novel or do you just let it simmer until you feel like you have enough to start writing i don t start writing until i know the world and main character the beginning of the story the instigating factor that changes things the climax and the ending so when i have an idea i write it down in my notebook and cogitate on it if it obsesses me i start building a playlist once i have all those things and can t wait a single second longer that s when i start writing i think most beginners start writing before they know enough about their character and world and that s how you end up with a first chapter that s a solid info dump where the character wakes up looks in a mirror to describe their physicality meditates on what s wrong with their life stares out the window and describes what they see etc your story should have plot from page one and that plot should raise questions that draw the reader along what does your typical writing schedule look like first draft manic sleepless write as fast as possible straight through edits driven grouchy eats trash stays up late line edits studious thoughtful measured basically when i m obsessed i m obsessed i have two small children and a husband who works at home so i write whenever i can while writing what do you struggle with the most honestly i struggle more with promo than writing writing is my escape and i tend to ignore real life in favor of immersing myself in the next shiny is there any one book or author you feel inspires you the most stephen king s on writing was the book that took me from i d like to write a book to i can do this the way that he tears down his own first and second draft to smooth out the prose is fascinating it was my game changer i was super duper over the moon excited to see you announce a fourth blud book can you give us any details about that or would you have to kill us look at the last paragraph of wicked as they come and extrapolate loooooots of criminy and thanks i can t wait to write it more criminy i am over the moon with joy and most importantly during the inevitable zombie apocalypse what is your survival plan find the nearest drugstore and stockpile all the synthroid i have thyroid disease and am more worried about that than hordes of undead thanks so much for having
