- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Is now the time for a play about the war in iraq?
- Everone knows that comedy is mostly about timing. If you hit upon the right nerve (is a funny bone a nerve?) at the right time then, usually, you don't even have to be original or even marginally funny to win laughs. The audience laughs just at the reference (i.e. "How about Michael Jackson?") and may fall into hysterics at a gifted comic's pause.Of course the other element in comedy is dis...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Mission possible: get published with goals, guidance, and persistance
- You send me an e-mail. You tell me you've written over three hundred poems since you were 16 (in your teenage angst stage). You mention the novel you've completed and it's really good (it really is!!!), and the novel-in-progress. You mention how the International Library of Poetry has published one of your poems. (But, whom haven't they published?)However, all your work is stored away, hidd...

- So you've decided to crown yourself with a title that a million other people (just like you (yes, just like you!)) give themselves every day. Some people believe giving yourself such a title is equivalent to, and just as beneficial monetarily, as naming yourself Queen of England. But, there is no grace, rarely enough publicity, and only the title of Court Jester seems to be becoming for you becaus...

- Sailors had it for years. Great explorers had it as well. If you go on an expedition to an ancient Aztec mound, more than likely the archaeologist will have one too - so, why shouldn't you own one?No, I'm not speaking of the scurvy that plagued the sailors! No, I'm not speaking of the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot, whom explorers claimed to have seen in snowy Manitoba winters. Nor am I speak...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Why we dont write our books
- In the ten years that I've taught people how to get on with their books, I've noticed a phenomenon that I'll call "Author's Block." Would-be writers can, indeed, sit down and work when pressed to it. The problem is that they're not so sure they want the pressure of being an author. But they do want to. But they don't. And so on.Ah, the agony of getting on with your book.Wel...

- Having problems writing? I don't know why. San Francisco Chronicle columnist Jon Carroll writes up to five columns a week. After all, if he can write five columns, you should be able to write a five-lined poem-but that does not seem to be the case.How does he do it? Carroll claimed to recite lines from Rudyard Kipling's "The Elephant Child":"I have six humble serving menThey t...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - The unwritten world of the reality of letterwriting
- You may wonder why I have chosen this title of this post. Well from my experience is that it is really hard to put the feeling into words about what letter writing means to me. Letter writing is becoming a lost art on many levels. It is fading into the background of society. It is still practised by many people. It is those people that I am looking to connect with. I have been told by many people ...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Making the time to write that novel
- Finding the time to write a novel is one of the major issues confronting writers, particularly those who haven't been published yet. How does one justify to themselves, or to their loved ones, that they need time to write if they have demands on their time, like a job, or a house to be cleaned, a family to be fed, or shopping to do? They make the time.To make time, one would have to sit dow...

- Today I took the dog for a walk and realized that there is a letter that I must write. Near our house, we walk up a once paved road that is now mostly rock and mud. It runs behind several houses then up a hill and ends at some very high priced home sites that are, as yet, unbuilt.

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Common writing mistakes
- Most books aren't rejected because the stories are "bad." They're rejected because they're not "ready to read." In short, minor stuff like typos, grammar, spelling, etc.I don't mean places where we, as authors, deliberately break the rules. Those are fine. That's part of our job.

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - The one-plot wonder
- Back in the mid to late 1980s I was a security guard. The pay was lousy, but it gave me many hours in seclusion to write short stories and novels. However, I usually worked over 80 hours a week. No one can write that much. Well, at least not me. Thus I discovered the joys of my local libraries.Recently, I decided to look up an author who gave me great pleasure in those days. Most of his boo...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Voice in narrative and dialogue - a contrast of writing styles
- One of the nice things about being an author is that we can break any rule we want. (I just did.) It's part of our job description.
