A Salted: Don't be a twunt.
http://asalted.blogspot.com/2012/04/dont-be-twunt.html
Words, writing, books, bookselling, reading, musing. Monday, April 16, 2012. Don't be a twunt. At after work drinks I was introduced to a friend of a friend. My pal gave a brief preamble saying we both write fiction and left us to chat. The guy said, “Oh right, you’ve had some stuff published, I’ve got stories that need publishing, where should I send them? I’m a writer who loves reading, is there really any other type? I read widely online and the high standard of many literary ‘zines stuns me. I try to...

Reading, Writing and Everything In Between. Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Today I'd like to propose a little creative writing exercise for you writers out there. It's no secret that with so much of our effort and energy poured into our WIPs. That we can sometimes drive straight into a roadblock of ideas. At the very least, we can become so immersed into our current WIP. First of all, in order to participate in this exercise, you need to have at least 2 WIPs. Even if one of them is on hold). Writer's Guid...

Reading, Writing and Everything In Between. Monday, May 3, 2010. If you aren't familiar with the story of Pompeii. Go check it out on the Wikipedia. I wrote this love poem as if we were lovers in the time and location of the great Vesuvias eruption of Pompeii. A faerie wing of burning light,. In sunless day like starry night. We dance on dusk as daytime dies,. Embrace each other with our eyes. The lupine children call our name. The lords of air they do the same. We dance on dusk as daytime dies. The Impe...

Reading, Writing and Everything In Between. Friday, April 9, 2010. After a failed attempt at painting the Hellsing portrait. I decided to fall back on my drawing to boost my confidence back up. I realize that I'm still just a beginning in painting, but I am very hard on myself, due to my perfectionist nature. Anyhow, I decided to draw a portrait of Aphrodite IX. PS The circle on her cheek is a tattoo. Last night I worked on a new painting, based on the popular anime. That's Dracula backwards, for those o...

Reading, Writing and Everything In Between. Friday, February 17, 2012. Let's Talk About Sex. We've all heard the classic advice for writers, "Show don't tell." When describing a scene, character or situation it can be challenging, but well worth the effort to truly show the reader. When it comes to sex though, there's a fine line between suggestive literature and just plain old smut. Where does one draw the line? If so, how much can be shared with the reader before it crosses that line? Tell Me a Story.

Into the Void: Tell Me a Story
http://walkthevoid.blogspot.com/2012/02/tell-me-story.html
Reading, Writing and Everything In Between. Thursday, February 16, 2012. Tell Me a Story. So my 3 year old step daughter and I have begun something of a nightly routine. Upon telling the kiddos that it's time for bed, she promptly runs up to me and begs "Daddy! You read me a story? What daddy could say no to a request like that? Honestly though what she really means is, "will you tell me a story.". Her prince after. and lives happily ever after.". Yeah, not to me either. *sigh*. Health Care Worker, Fathe...

Reading, Writing and Everything In Between. Monday, February 27, 2012. When Red Apples Turn Sour. How long into a book do you allow yourself to go before you realize your idea or novel concept just isn't working? I'm at a stopping point in one of my novels and I just feel like it's not coming together. it's around 10k, but I hate to stop. I really enjoy the concept. Hmmm)it up, added sleeping pills and a rifle and a bitter scene in a parking lot and all of a sudden it all came together. My Blog is Green.

Into the Void: Best Typo
http://walkthevoid.blogspot.com/2012/02/best-typo.html
Reading, Writing and Everything In Between. Tuesday, February 28, 2012. I was doing a little more editing on a novel of mine and came across a typo. I'm sure I was frantic in thought and just typing too quick to notice, but when I read through it I couldn't help but wonder how in the world I missed that. The line was supposed to read: ".as she held up two flamboyant Hawaiian-print shirts.". What I wrote: ".as she held up two flamboyant Hawaiian-print shits. I got a good laugh out of that one.
