Venessa Giunta’s Writing Journey

Venessa Giunta’s Writing Journey

http://venessagiunta.com/

About the author:
Venessa Giunta is a writer of supernatural and other slightly off-beat tales. In her writing life, she’s tried to write “straight” stories. Those mainstream, slice of life vignettes. She tries. She really does! But ghosts, vampires, aliens, zombies and various other odd creatures always seem to live in the stories she tells. She’s beginning to think it’s pheromone related.

About this blog:
Here, we’ll be talking about lots of different things pertaining to both the craft of writing and the business of writing. We might even go off on a tangent about history, the weather, the internet or — dare we push the envelope? — politics. Mainly we’ll center on fiction writing, genre writing, but we may also delve into freelance opportunities and non-fiction. Really, it’s whatever strikes my fancy. Hopefully, it’ll strike yours too!
