Another stop for The Cycle of the Six Moons “Name Before the Masses” tour byGoddess Fish Promotions! I’ve written a guest post over at The Reading Addict. The topic is how one of my hobbies has enriched my writing.
Here’s an excerpt:
I read pa
ssages out loud dramatically to myself to make sure that the words convey the emotion I want.
I also grew up with JRPGs. Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI-IX, Earthbound… This was before voice acting was common in video games, and I often wondered what the characters would sound like with voices. In senior year of high school, I finally had the basic technology to give voices to the characters.

Today is another stop for The Cycle of the Six Moons “Name Before the Masses” tour by Goddess Fish Promotions! I’ve written a guest post over at Sharing Links and Wisdom. If you can’t tell by the appropriately named title, it’s about why video game music is the best music to listen to while writing.
Here’s an excerpt:
I’m a gamer. I have been since elementary school. One important element of video games that I found helped immerse me into a fantasy world was its music. It’s designed to set the tone, help you concentrate on the task at hand, exemplifies the written dialogue of the characters you encounter, or even makes your heart race during boss battles.
Since I was about ten years old, I’ve used video game music to help set the scene. Unlike pop songs or ballads, there are no lyrics to distract you, listener and fellow writer, from the words that you want to write. Here are examples of the kind of music I listen to and the scenes they fit.

Today begins the first stop of The Cycle of the Six Moons “Name Before the Masses” tour by Goddess Fish Promotions! I’ve written a guest post over at Long and Short Reviews YA. If you can’t tell by the appropriately named title, it’s about the importance of food in storytelling.
I even made a nifty pie chart about the usage of the five senses!

There’s also a giveaway for a gift card, so…yeah, if that’s any extra incentive…
I had author business cards printed.
And then I devised a plan.
What better way to promote your book than to drive around town with your own personalized, flashy license plate frame.
Seriously, though, I don’t know how effective this is going to be, but it’s better than showing off the dealership :’D
I primed the old frame, spray-painted it black, printed out “Adelle Yeung” and “The Cycle of the Six Moons” on a black background, cut that out, glued it in place, went crazy with stickers, and sealed it all in with triple-thick glaze. Let’s see how it holds up to the weather 😀
