Website Review: Holly Lisle
September 15th 2008 00:48
I'm sick, my internet access is severely restrained because I stayed out REALLY late watching the Batman movie (which I loved), and I'm just feeling generically exhausted from school and life at the moment.
However, I am posting something. I just got the last lesson in Holly Lisle's newsletter course on creating your own royalties. Although it isn't for me at quite this point, I believe that someday I will be prepared to take better advantage of the course, which is saved in my Gmail. (I'm just going to say this: I love Gmail, there is so much space, you can keep most of your emails. I have dozens that are kept because there is just that much space.)

I've been reading Holly Lisle's site on and off for three or four years now. I originally found it through a worldbuilding help link on the Nanowrimo forums, and I read through all of her articles.
Although I am a very different person from Holly, especially in my style of outlining and revision, I have found her articles inspirational and helpful. She seems like a good person, dedicated to what she does, and dedicating to helping others. Holly believes in 'Paying forward', in helping other writers to get where she is-living off of her writing.
She may not be able to help you, because everyone is different, and we all have different techniques that work for us. But she has some excellent ideas, and the course I just finished reading is clear, concise, short, simple, and very true. I have heard her words echoed in many places throughout the web, and not necessarily by people who have ever heard of her.
I have never read any of her books, but I have read all of her articles and am deeply interested in her language creation workshop, although again, she is a very different type of writer than I am. I believe that any writer of fiction will benefit from her reading-if only in the way that any of us benefits from knowing how another works.
Kudos to her and her willingness-and attempt-to help other writers.
