BLUE Sue ~ riding and writing, and writing about riding: Orcs

Shop.HollyLisle.com ~

Holly's non-fiction including her fantastic writer's workshop series, and fiction by her and other select authors.

Holly now offers "How to Think Sideways," (it's not a book, it's an entire course) an intense, hands on, six month writer's course that includes weekly course work and supportive groups and forums. I'm going through it now and loving every minute of it. It's not just about how to write, there are a million courses that teach that. Her's is different in that it helps you learn to think like a writer and be a writer instead of just dreaming about it.

If this is what you want to do, she offers you the skills to help you to really live your dream.

For want of a what?

Regardless of genre, from contemporary to historical to western to fantasy, if you're going to write a horse, you need to get it right. For an author that hasn't spent much time in the barn it can be problematic, not because information is hard to find, but because there is so much available, it can be hard to sift through. Google is good for fact-finding, but sometimes it's hard to figure out the range of problems, potentials and what-ifs that you need to help or hinder your hero. And googling only tends to emphasize the common misconceptions that drive riders nuts when they read.

I hope these posts are enjoyable, but more than that, I hope they give writers ideas and perspective they can put to use in their writing.

I'm available to speak on writing horses at conferences or club meetings, and hands-on workshops can be scheduled for local groups. If you have specific questions or just want to talk horses, please email me at BLUESue22 at gmail dot com.
