WHAT YEAR IS IT AGAIN?

Lance Star: Sky Ranger writers Bobby Nash and Sean Taylor were part of the Bad Girls, Good Guys, and Two-Fisted Action Blog's Writer's Roundtable discussion this week. This time around they, along with several other authors, discuss their favorite time periods to write.

"My preference is to do stories set in modern times so I can explore the world outside my window." -- Bobby Nash

This week's Writer Roundtable is another from the open call for ideas and topics. With many of the writers I know and love being period writers, this one really grabbed my attention when a reader suggested it. So keep those suggestions coming and we'll keep sending them to the roundtable for the peanut gallery to respond to.

WHAT’S MY MOTIVATION?

On his blog this week, Lance Star: Sky Ranger author Sean Taylor pulled together an impressive collection of writers, including Ashton Adams, Bill Craig, Erwin Roberts, H. David Blalock, John Neal, John White, Lee Houston Jr., Motivation, Ralph Angelo, and Lance Star: Sky Ranger's Bobby Nash.

The topic is on writer’s motivations.

You can read the full round table discussion here.

From the site:
What's My Motivation?
For this week's roundtable, let's talk motivation. Writers write, as the cliche goes, but why do they write? For money, for the sheer joy of it, to be famous? Anyone who lives the live of an author will tell you that sometimes it can be hard to pinpoint exactly why someone would choose to do this crazy, solitary line of work. But don't just take my word for it.

You can read the full roundtable discussion here.
