- I'm in the process of moving from one computer to another, and one of the things I really miss so far is a good keystroke macro program.That's a program, a communication technology, that allows you to trigger long strings of text, including names and email addresses, with just a couple of keystrokes.For example, I often have to write out the name of my book, A Manager's Guide to News...

- I'm willing to bet that quite a number of you once had to debate (or discuss) the saying: "The pen is mightier than the sword."

- He ran up the steps and knocked on the door. After a few moments, it was opened by a woman with dark curly hair and a strained expression.

- What is a prologue? When should you use one? Should you forget about a prologue and simply start at Chapter 1?All too often we pick up a published book and read the prologue, then wonder why it was there at all.

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Permission not to write
- Quite a few years ago, I enrolled in a Degree in Criminal Justice. My main reason for doing so was my interest in reading and writing crime and mystery fiction. I thought by doing this course, I would gain a good grounding in police procedure. I was particularly interested in forensic science and profiling.Unfortunately, after completing the first semester, I discovered that some subjects (...

- How long should your chapters be?I can't resist... I have to say it. "How long is piece of string?"Of course, that smart-aleck answer is of no use to you whatsoever if you're sitting there, frozen over the keyboard, wondering where you should end Chapter One and start typing 'Chapter Two'.Fact: Some books have chapters that are only a page or two long.

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - The power of punctuation
- Punctuation, when used creatively, is powerful. Note, however, that when I say 'when used creatively', I don't mean that you can make up the rules.I am not saying that you can write sentences that are half a page long without a single comma, full stop, semi-colon or anything else to give the unfortunate reader a rest. That's not being creative. That's being lazy. That's being tiresome....
