Ask Ted: The Craft of Writing Novels

As a marketing guy, sometimes I get to do fun production stuff. Later this week, I’m headed to Austin, TX for a video shoot with Ted. We’re mostly capturing footage for use on the web in 2010, but we also have a few tricks up our sleeves. As we were scripting the day out, I thought, “You know, this would be a good time to record Ted riffing on the craft of writing. Why not? We have a lot of writers in our community who would get a kick out of that.”

I pitched the idea to Ted and he liked it. So it’s now officially part of the day’s schedule, thank you very much. Time block #3 to be exact, “Writer Conversations–Ted talks about the craft of writing.”

Here’s how you can be part of the process. If you’re a writer or someone interested in the craft of writing, let me know what questions you want answered. Anything’s fair game as long as it’s about the craft of writing. So, please, no questions about specific Dekker novels, characters, etc. unless it has to do with the “how” of writing.

Leave your questions here on my blog as a comment. I’ll compile them all before the shoot and then hit Ted with both barrels when we sit down on-camera. Here’s your chance to have that one question that keeps you awake at night finally answered.
