The Fourth Prometheus Edits

On October 6, 2019October 6, 2019 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn NovelsLeave a comment

My editor returned the manuscript to me, and included with it was a thirteen page assessment of the work covering, characters, setting, plot, POV, and voice. It is quite thorough and at first a shot to the ego. This is the most challenging part of the writing process. Your work is laid bare and dissected. …

When the Well Runs Dry

On August 1, 2013August 1, 2013 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn WritingLeave a comment

When working on my first novel, my biggest fear was that once complete that was it for me. That one book would be the only one in me. My career as a writer would end before it even started. At one point I think that fear even played a part in my procrastination as I …

Undead Heart is Still Coming

On May 15, 2013May 10, 2013 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn NovelsLeave a comment

The problem with deadlines is that once you set them you have to be ready to deal with missing them. I began writing Undead Heart almost three years ago. The plot came together quickly in my head and the characters needed little development. I finished writing the book in ten months, I figure three maybe …

This Monday I figured I would put up a post about where I am with my current writing projects. At the very least I figure it will help keep me on track. At the best I hope it gives some of my fans a heads up for what is coming. Undead Heart The final edits are …

Backlist and How to Do it on Your Own

On March 22, 2013March 22, 2013 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn PublishingLeave a comment

As a writer building my audience and just reaching my stride I love reading about how others have done it. Joe Konrath is no stranger to independent authors and I often find his posts on A Newbie's Guide to Publishing informative and interesting. I came across this post from last week and knew I wanted …

The Early Bird Gets Worms

On February 1, 2013March 22, 2013 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn Writing2 Comments

I know I have made this mistake. That novel you just wrote is itching to be a breakout success  You know if you could just get it out there it would take off in no time. Slow your roll. Nobody is itching to read a crappy book. Make sure that you aren't giving them one. As if this …

So You Think You Have Guts, Do Ya?

On September 13, 2012September 14, 2012 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn Writing1 Comment

I saw this in my RSS feed. Do you think you could or would share your work in progress with the world? I use Google Docs quite a bit and backup much of my work on there. I do not know that I would have the strength of mind like Silvia Hartmann to share my …

I am Not a Number…

On July 30, 2012September 14, 2012 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn Odds & Ends3 Comments

You may already know that I am a librarian, but I am also a certain type of librarian. I spend most of my day cataloging state publications for the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records. I went into, what we in the biz call, Technical Services, because I like organizing information. A big part of …
