E. D. Johnson wrote a new post, Easily Mused 1 month, 3 weeks ago

The latest resource we at FFDO would like to introduce our writers to is none other than the forums at Easily Mused. As a writer resource, these gals are doing some impressive works, from reviewing books to […]

E. D. Johnson wrote a new post, BOFF 3 Submissions 1 month, 3 weeks ago

I am aware that BOFF 2 is not out yet, but it has basically gone to print. In the interest of getting the ball rolling on BOFF 3, Jon has given me permission to go ahead and start collecting submissions for […]

Caffeine
I have recently lost a considerable amount of weight by giving up a major vice: pop. Other areas of the country refer to this as “soda,” “soda pop,” “Coke,” “Pepsi,” or probably a dozen other words, […]

E. D. Johnson wrote a new post, The Future of #FridayFlash 7 months ago

I got an email from Jon last week asking me if I wanted to be the new Editor for FFDO in lieu of Olivia stepping down. I immediately said yes and got to work thinking up ideas and ways to improve the site. The […]

E. D. Johnson wrote a new post, The FFDO A-Team 7 months ago

As Editor, I am supposed to make this site (specifically the front page) fun, fresh, and exciting. Sadly, I cannot always deliver great content on a weekly basis. My own blog has not had a post since May of last […]

E. D. Johnson wrote a new post, Fresh Features for FFDO 7 months ago

First, thank you very much for the warm welcome to the staff of FFDO; I greatly appreciate it even if I could not express that to each of you during the discussion over the last week. In addition to my […]

Badge Project

While we do not need badges, we have heard a lot of enthusiasm for them over the last couple of weeks, and the wait is officially over. The observant visitor will surely have noticed by now an […]

E. D. Johnson wrote a new post, Writing Resources 7 months ago

Today’s writing environment is greatly different from a hundred years ago. Sites exist to help learn how to edit a manuscript; discussion sites for every topic populate every corner of the internet. Blogs give […]

E. D. Johnson wrote a new post, Family, Friends, and FFDO 7 months ago

I have been pretty quiet around the FridayFlash scene since around October. The last two months of the year get unbelievably hectic for most, and mine are no different. I wanted to make it a point to get in here […]

E. D. Johnson wrote a new post, E-Book “Publishing Scams” 7 months ago

While perusing FaceBook today, I happened upon a side advertisement that said “Writers Wanted.” I have been unemployed now since June, so I occasionally view sites with that sort of information on them. When I […]

E. D. Johnson wrote a new post, Technical Trick for the Mobile Author 7 months ago

I do not spend all my time writing on a single computer. For that matter, I do not even do all of my writing on a computer at all, even if a mobile phone can be considered a computer. I use a multitude of […]

E. D. Johnson commented on the post, Caffeine, Characters, and Carrots 9 months, 1 week ago

Well, I actually dislike the taste of most coffee. Until it cools down a bit, then it seems ok. But piping hot coffee cannot be fixed with mere sugar and creamer, and trust me, I’ve gone up to five sugars and four […]

E. D. Johnson wrote a new post, Habits, Happiness, and Heart 10 months, 1 week ago

Recently, I finished writing a rough draft of my first ever novella, and I did this in under a month. If that speed does not seem so great, this article may not be for you. To me, writing that volume that fast is […]

E. D. Johnson commented on the post, Habits, Happiness, and Heart 10 months, 1 week ago

According to my handful of beta readers, the writing results are perfectly fine. Advise and ideas are all meant to be taken with a grain of salt, which I tried to get across in the first paragraph, though perhaps […]

E. D. Johnson commented on the post, Technical Trick for the Mobile Author 11 months, 2 weeks ago

I have used those features (both with DropBox and Google Drive/Docs), but only docs for writing. The Dropbox stuff was for programming and distribution of different builds. Still, it is worth mentioning the fringe […]

That’s a pretty duh kind of answer. Me, of course. I’m ALWAYS the evil one.

E. D. Johnson commented on the post, BOFF 3 Submissions 1 year, 1 month ago

That is the down side of trying to do April Fools with time zones involved. I posted my other prank on Facebook an hour early my time as I was targeting a time zone two hours earlier, and someone tried to say it […]

E. D. Johnson commented on the post, BOFF 3 Submissions 1 year, 1 month ago

I am glad everyone is so excited about Steven King writing the intro for the BOFF 3, but I am sure that everyone would be more excited if Stephen King was doing it!

I thought posting the picture of the calendar […]

E. D. Johnson commented on the post, E-Book “Publishing Scams” 1 year, 4 months ago

You are most welcome. If my post saves even a single writer from this kind of scam, I will consider it a great success. And it got me just angry enough to want to rage out on them a little in the best avenue I […]

E. D. Johnson commented on the post, E-Book “Publishing Scams” 1 year, 4 months ago

Apparently yesterday was publishing scam day elsewhere too. This got posted the same day as this post, and essentially cover the same topic: […]
