<a href="http://www.mertianna.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/zombiegardentee.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-727" alt="zombiegardentee" src="http://www.mertianna.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/zombiegardentee-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a>As a writer, I’m constantly striving to improve my craft. There’s a ton of information and advice out there.  But it seems everywhere I’ve looked lately has led to experts and/or seasoned writers talking about outlining stories.  They lecture the need to lay the bones of the plot in the right sequence so elbows are attached to arms instead of legs and heads sit atop necks, not hipbones.  I have no doubt that this is very desirable when building a person-shaped thing.  But what if the thing is story-shaped?</p>
<p>I confess to being the type of writer that sits at the keyboard with only the barest wisp of an idea before plunging ahead.  The voices in my head tell me what to do next.  Wait.  That didn’t sound right.  My <i>story characters’</i> voices in my head tell me what to do next.  Better.</p>
<p>My attempts at outlines feel like Doctor Frankenstein’s creation but not as handsome or talented at tap-dancing.  I’ve tried to create outlines.  Really.  Many times.  In different mediums and multiple colors. I’ve built my skeletons, even grown some flesh on them.  But what comes shambling out is not what I intended at all </p>

<p>Not many Authors have focused on the study of the link between a stoneâhyperuricemia and <a href="https://www.neuroeconomicstudies.org/tag/viagra+25mg+online+pharmacy">generic sildenafil</a> Toxicokinetic data for both sildenafil and for the main  metabolite  (UK-103,320)  indicate  a  large  margin  between  plasma  exposure  to  drug-related  components  in  man  and  that  associated  with  toxicity  in  rat  and  dog..</p>
</div>
<p>.</p>
<p>And they all want to eat my brain.</p>
<p>Okay, maybe it just <i>feels</i> like they want to chomp on my grey matter.  The theory of outlining a story is a solid one; it makes perfect sense, and seems like an exceedingly logical way to proceed.  The problem is that, like zombies, outlines are scary partially-formed things chasing after you with serious noshing on their minds or stomachs, whatever.  The thought of writing to an outline is like that of a zombie eagerly sucking brains through a straw sticking out of a hole in my head – akin to a coconut husk cocktail on Tiki night at the Luau.</p>
<p>So why do something if it doesn’t work for me?  I have a guilty little squirmy feeling that I haven’t really given outlining a chance.  And I might be missing out on a really good thing.  The zombie might not be unredeemable.  Like the zombie guy in Warm Bodies, there might be a heartbeat under the disintegrating skin of its chest.  So, I want to believe.  I want to believe that the magical properties of outlining will be able to transform the zombie into a hot guy, uh, I mean, into a useful member of society (no, I really meant hot guy).  I’m going to try it one more time.  Maybe more than once.  And if I have any brain matter left after that, I’ll call it a success and be enlightened to the joys of structure.  Unfortunately, just typing that last sentence made something dribble out of my ear.  Well, let’s see what happens.<br />

Finally!  The epic journey, five years in the making, has finally resulted in the publication of my first book.  SYN IN THE CITY (A Synemancer Novel) is now available through Amazon Kindle, ImaJinn Books website, and soon on Barnes and Noble website through Fictionwise.  I&#8217;m having my first book signing event in April at the RT Convention (see the Events &#038; Appearances page for details).  Already my friends have been downloading the Kindle version (at a low low introductory price of $2.99).  Yes I meant to write the word &#8220;low&#8221; twice.  Now I have to figure out how to get Paypal on this site for signed copies and links to Amazon and Barnes and Noble&#8230;</p>
<p>The next book in this series is tentatively titled ANGEL OF SYN (A Synemancer Novel).  Fans of Azrael (named after the Angel of Death), the handsome white-blond witch bodyguard, will get to see more of him as his and Cara’s relationship evolves </p>

Now that my book release for SYNEMANCER: SYN IN THE CITY is just around the corner I&#8217;m having second thoughts about the title (way too late the game for this, but I can&#8217;t seem to help what my brain decides to obsess about).  Why did I think Synemancer would be a fun word to use?  No one knows what the heck it is.  Frankly, I made it up during one of my marathon writing session deliriums.  It&#8217;s the combination of the word Synergy and the word Necromancer.  My main character, Cara Augustine, is a witch with very rare powers.  She can pull magical power from other beings and weave them together to make something stronger and more powerful than any of them could have been on their own </p>

<p>.  In my past life (pre-writer) I was a business person in the 90&#8242;s when &#8220;synergy&#8221; was all the rage, and a die-hard urban fantasy/paranormal fiction book fan where necromancers were known to hang out on occasion, I decided to combine the two concepts.  Maybe SYNEMANCER will catch on, like &#8220;Whoa, that guy took synergy to the next level, he&#8217;s a Synemancer!&#8221;  Um.  I guess we&#8217;ll see.</p>
