Writers Movement Guest Blog Appearance: George Sherman Hudson

Bio:

George Sherman Hudson was born and raised in Atlanta Ga.. After being continuously rejected by different publishers because of the subject matter contained in his books while serving time, this father of two did some research and started G Street Chronicles, the urban book publishing company that's ran by him with the help of his COO and fiancé Erica Jones . While George is continuously working hard to make G Street Chronicles a recognized name in the literary industry, he's also working hard on his highly anticipated REAL series. George has authored five books in all. His debut book Drama is in stores now. Having published more than 10 titles in the first year of business George is determined to make G Street Chronicles an urban lit powerhouse.






Synopsis of Book:


The drama just doesn't stop in the lives of Deb, Tammy, and Lisa. Deb, the hard worker and savvy entrepreneur is blessed with a multimillion dollar contract, but has to enjoy the success without the comfort of her man whose fledging music career has him busy from state to state. Tammy has everything a diva could want, a multimillion dollar home, expensive cars, clothes, jewelry, and she thought love.


Drama is a book a lot like sex in the city with black characters, each chapter is told from the point of view of a different character. They take turns telling their side of the story. It has everything, humor, emotions, great characters, and a lot of drama.

Writers Movement Guest Blog Appearance: Jacqui Murray

Jacqui Murray is currently on a Virtual Book Tour. Today she will share with us some information on building characteristics for our characters and her book. So lets welcome Jacqui Murray!


Jacqui Murray's Bio

Meet techno non-fiction writer, Jacqui Murray, born in Berkley California to Irish-German parents. After receiving a BA in Economics, another in Russian and an MBA, she spent twenty years in a variety of industries while raising two children and teaching evening classes at community colleges. Now, she lives with her husband, adult son and two beautiful Labradors. She writes how-books, five blogs on everything from the Naval Academy to tech to science, as well as a column for the Examiner on tech tips.

Guest Blog Post

If your story sounds stilted or scripted, the believability of your characters might be the problem. Readers get to know them through your words, how they participates in the plot, and their introspective comments. Readers don’t like when the protagonist or antagonist or any of the individuals they’ve spent hours getting to know and love act, well, out of character.

Get to know your character–intimately–before you cast them. Know their favorite colors, movies, songs. Know their morals, educational background, weaknesses and strengths. Know them as though they were your child, or your best friend.

I’d suggest writing a profile. Not just a few paragraphs, but pages. Once you’ve completed that (see below), throw the character into situations and see if you can predict how they would act. If you know them well enough, you’ll find you can keep all of their thoughts, reactions, and movements, in character.

In my case I write a prequel to my story so I can flesh out the characters, their actions, thoughts, feelings. It’s not for publication (well, maybe as a prequel after people have met the characters in a later time frame. I’m still pondering that.) but it makes me comfortable that even the surprises in my novel are in character.

I’m a little crazy about getting them right. You might be able to do it in a shorter amount of effort.

You can get lists of background questions from the books in this blog’s sidebar. Here are traits I use to flesh out my characters:

· What is their ruling passion–what makes them tick?

· How old are they?

· Describe them physically including abnormalities, allergies, scars, deformities, posture, bearing.

· Describe them psychologically, including their fears, manias, inhibitions, patterns of behavior, special abilities, soundness of reasoning, habits. Are they irritable? Are they sensible? What are longings, aptitudes, special talents?

· What are their emotional firestorms, like ambition, love, hate, greed, vengefulness, lust, envy, malice?

· What is their purpose in the story?

· What is their position in the story–antagonist, protagonist, confidante?

· What are their speech patterns?

· How does their voice sound? Breathy? Gravelly? Mellow?

· Do they have nervous ticks, gestures, mannerisms (everyone does–what are theirs?) Do they tug on an ear?

· Take the time to go through their typical day–work, jog, visit the health club, drink coffee at Starbucks. Then when they do something out of this routine, you can explain it.

· What are their strengths and weaknesses?

· What is their work life like?

Enough? You’ll know when you write the character into a scene. Is there any time that you aren’t sure how your character should behave? If there is, add more detail to your list.

Do you have any other questions you ask of your character? I’d like to learn from your experience.

Summary of her book, 55 Technology Projects for the Digital Classroom Volumes I and II



The two-volume 55 Technology Projects for the Digital Classroom is part of Jacqui Murray's eight-volume comprehensive tech ed series geared for both the classroom teacher and the homeschooler.

Each project includes software required, time involved, suggested experience level, subject area supported, tech jargon, step-by-step lessons, extensions to dig deeper, troubleshooting tips, reproducibles, grading rubrics and many samples. Tech programs used include Microsoft Office, Google Earth, keyboarding, email, Web 2.0 tools (blogs, wikis, internet start pages, social bookmarking and photo storage), Photoshop and Celestia. Also included is an Appendix of over 200 age-appropriate child-friendly websites. Skills taught include collaboration, communication, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, creativity, digital citizenship, information fluency, presentation, and technology concepts. In short, these two volumes include everything you need to integrate technology into the twenty-first century classroom.

"Month of the Movement" Presents Benjamin Jones and Tiffanie Minnis

Vampires, long believed to be nothing but myth and legend, do in fact exist. For years they have lived peacefully amongst humans but all that is about to change. Not content with being considered an equal to the human race, a faction has arisen that is threatening to fracture the delicate truce and engage in a global war pitting humans against vampires.

H.U.B. (Humanity's Ultimate Battle) Volume 2: Blowback is the next step in the epic HUB series! Picking up right where Volume 1 left off, it offers you more of what you've come to expect from HUB but raises the ante to a whole new level!

Volume 2 will be released on 10.29.10 and will be promoted via the "Month of the Movement" campaign with Tiffanie Minnis and her debut novel ~D.I.V.A.~ so be on the lookout for that!




~D.I.V.A.~ DOMESTICALLY INVOLVED IN VIOLENT AFFAIRS, the fact based debut novel from Tiffanie Minnis, tells an engaging story about how a young woman's past of family violence affects her present by turning her into a domestic abuser in her adult life. Told through the eyes of Michaela Davis, ~D.I.V.A.~ takes you on an emotionally riveting ride of her encounters with abuse that she endured as a helpless child, progressing as she grows into a vengeful woman who dishes out the same abuse on the men she becomes intimately involved with. Prepare yourself as she takes you through her journey of fighting her demons, in hopes of transformation, as she seeks the love of God and the love of herself. But in the midst of her revolution, does she eventually pay for all of her malice revenges?

~D.I.V.A.~ is set to be released 10/20/2010 and will be promoted along with H.U.B. Volume 2: Blowback by Benjamin Jones through the "Month of the Movement" campaign which will be hitting in October and spanning the whole country!
