I’m thrilled to announce the publication of a side-project of mine, Telling Your Tale: A Beginner’s Guide to Novel Writing, available on this site through Oronjo.com (all formats supported, see below) and Amazon.com for the Kindle.
I was inspired to write my first e-article after reading a great post on fantasy author Lindsay Burocker’s blog. Subsequently, I read e-article guru Kate Harper’s amazing guest blog, bought her $.99 e-article on writing e-articles (how post-modern is that?), and then went for it on the thing I know the best: writing!
About Telling Your Tale
My guide is geared towards the absolute beginner, but if you want to get refresher course on some of the basic terms and strategies, or just want to see if our views of novel writing mesh, please give it a try and let me know what you think.
I plan to keep Telling Your Tale out of KDP so that I can not only cast the net wide, but also experiment with direct sales through Oronjo.com, where 100% of the profits for digital downloads go to the author.
Synopsis
Telling Your Tale: A Beginner’s Guide to Novel Writing will give you the tools, terms, and strategies to take the germ of your story idea and get you started on the path to writing your first novel.

Telling Your Tale: A Beginner’s Guide to Novel Writing is an e-article of 10,00 words, or about 40 paperback pages. It includes a step-by-step introduction to the basic terms and concepts of novel writing to get the novice author started on the biggest step of their career: writing the first book. It also includes appendices with tips on combating writer’s block, guides to finding or founding critique groups, and a resources section with suggested readings on craft, editing, and publishing to further help the budding writer improve their knowledge of the field.
How Do I Get It?
Telling Your Tale is available fpr $.99 on this site via the fulfillment service Oronjo.com:
Since I get 100% of the cost of the book, it would be great if you used Oronjo to get Telling Your Tale. But it’s also available on Amazon.com (more sites coming soon!) for just $.99.
