Livin' on the Edge: The Door Within....Re-Released!

Livin' on the Edge: The Door Within....Re-Released!: Wayne Thomas Batson is re-releasing his book series The Door Within. Here's some more info.


If you read the original release, you're probably in your twenties now. But a new generation of young readers is ready and waiting. Here's what you can do:
  1. Purchase a copy of a Door Within book during the May 7th Amazon Blitz; give the book to a young reader you know.
  2. Blog / Facebook / Tweet/ etc. about The Door Within books whenever you can and as much as you can. Talk about any impact the books have had on you, favorite scenes, characters, quotes, etc. Please mention the Amazon Blitz date: May 7th!
  3. Word of mouth. Talk it up. Text it up. Let friends and family know about the Door Within books.
  4. Use The Door Within books as seed-planting. While not a perfect allegory by any means, The Door Within books do contain a lot of Jesus Truth. Use the books as a bridge to talk about eternity with friends and family who might not yet believe.
If you do any of the above, email me at: batguy21784(at)yahoo(dot)com. Put the following in the Subject Line of the email: Door Within ReRelease Promotion. I will put your name in the Acknowledgments Section of my newest book (Soon to be announced!). I will also provide you with lots of cool Door Within freebies here on my blog!

If you purchase a book, email me at: batguy21784(at)yahoo(dot)com. Put the following in the Subject Line of the email: Door Within ReRelease PATRON. I will put your name in a special Patron Section of the Acknowledgments Page of my newest book. THEN, email Thomas Nelson Publishing at: info(at)tommynelson(dot)com and they will send you an all new Epilogue to The Door Within Trilogy.

In the name of The One True King, I thank you.
-Wayne Thomas Batson, 2013

Character Picture 1: Tira

Character Picture #1. (This may or may not continue, depending on whether it does, :P)

This is a hand drawn (computer refined) picture of Tira, a princess from my Camp NaNoWriMo novel.




While this picture might not be too accurate, at least it gives you an idea of what she (sort of) looks like.  Tell me what you think of it - even though it's a pretty bad drawing.  Oh well, I tried at least a half dozen times before to get it to look like this.  (The eyes were the hardest part...)

Tales By A Teen

What do you think of the new title and header-picture?

(Yes, this post is really that short.)

Plus, just to see if you are reading my blog, comment if you read this post. :P

Separation of Plot and Character Part 1

It is often believed that plot is - basically - what happens in the story.

That assumption is entirely not true.  In fact, character is actually more of what happens in the story.

Why?

Well, for you answer, you'll have to know that roughly, there's about three different plot types.

Romance.

The Man Who Learned Better (Ebeneezer Scrooge for example).

And, The Heroic Quest.

(This is the same as what you'd learn in OYAN, by the way).

Each modern day plot has elements of each of those basic plot types.  And those are plots, what actually happens is plot as well, but here's what isn't plot.

The book circles around the Main Character, and he (or she) learns throughout the book.  That isn't the plot.  And often times, that's the most important thing about the book.

We respect changes in the character.

Hard changes.

Ones that leave the Main Character changed dramatically.

The plot is just to further along what's happening inside the Main Character.

The Character travels from point A to point B (and this isn't traveling physically, though it could be that as well).



In between point A and B, the plot occurs, and that's the only reason the character changes.

(sorry for this rather unhelpful post, I was writing it quickly).

Klauvius Fangheart

More pictures of Klauvius Fangheart.


Klauvius stands before his grandfather's castle, Castle Vetre.


Now... the colors are inverted and the picture is reversed.


And here he is in front of the castle again, no longer reversed, but still inverted.

I hoped you liked those pictures of Klauvius standing by his castle - because the camera-man would be quite mad (if he was still with us) to learn you didn't enjoy them....
