This is K.M. Wyland and you are listening to the 300 fourth episode of the Helping Writers Become Authors podcast.

So on a mostly non-writing craft related subject, I'm trying something new.

My original mandate for the Helping Writers Become Authors website was, of course,

to build a platform for marketing my fiction. As far as building a platform goes, the whole thing

exceeded beyond my expectations, but more to the point it also became a machine all its own

with a platform. All that's all to the good, but what that also means is that the actual

platform for sharing my novels got kind of shuffled under the carpet.

Helping writers become authors is now so laser focused on the writing craft, which I love,

that there's really no place for the more personal, more novel-related stuff that's

interesting to just plain readers.

So I'm diving back into the blogging world and reviving the personal blog over on my other site

CAMY-Lind.com. I'm planning to post bi-weekly on various and random subjects

covering everything from my behind-the-scenes writing adventures to the stuff I'm

interested in at any given time. If you're interested in not just the nitty gritty

hands-on stuff of writing how to that you get in this podcast and on the Helping Writers site, but also in my personal

adventures as a writer and semi-sane animal owner.

I hope you'll join me on Tuesdays and Thursdays over at K M Wyland that's W E I L A N D.com. See you there.

The latest post in the video series on my blog is learn how not to waste your story settings full potential.

It talks about how Dennis LaHain's Shutter Island benefited from a full and imaginative use of its story setting and how you can add the same value to

your own book. To find the post, visit my site at helping writers become authors.com.

And now I hope you enjoy this week's podcast entitled New Story Ideas
