My Mythos: Azinia, Landrina, and more…

Posted on July 16, 2012 by robinaburrows

As a reader, what kinds of story worlds do you prefer? If you are a writer, how do your story worlds develop?

Posted on April 30, 2012 by robinaburrows

The Arkansas SCBWI Conference last weekend was amazing! Normally, when I attend a conference, some speakers are significantly better and some significantly worse. But every single speaker at this conference was top-notch. Each session was interesting and informative. I think I learned something important from each one. The conference was smaller and more personal than … Continue reading »

Short Story: Kristen’s Araby (A Captain Codfish Story)

Posted on February 13, 2012 by robinaburrows

Most writers have many settings. Currently I am writing in my Kaylee / Azinia setting, and I have a space opera setting bubbling around in my head. Before that there was my Landrina setting, which was dominated by an eternal war between magic and science. In the same overarching setting was my Nokar (lost soulmates) and … Continue reading »

Posted on September 12, 2011 by robinaburrows

As I’m sure you can tell from this blog title, I’m back from DragonCon. It was not quite what I had expected. I went to an anime convention in Dallas while I was in college.

Blog: James Joyce and a Decade of Experience

Posted on August 29, 2011 by robinaburrows

Once one of my college writing professors told me that my writing style was a lot like James Joyce. That’s funny because what I really wanted to do was write a fantasy or science fiction story. Our assignment was to write a (realistic) story about a child. I wrote a story about one of the characters … Continue reading »
