Super Sweet is as Super Sweet Does
melissajanda nominated me for the Super Sweet Blogging Award. Melissa is a mom, wife, writer and an all-round interesting blogger. Her subjects pretty much cover a number of areas concerning the writing craft. I want to thank her for the nomination and I will do my best to evolve into something resembling sweet. I think the […]
Calendar is as Calendar Does
Hardly seems possible that April is upon us already. It seems like we just got the Christmas tree put away and the Easter Bunny has come and gone. I don’t know what it is about the spring but it feels like a lot of good stuff happens this time of year. (Let’s not consider April […]

Submission is as Submission Does

Some policies are very simple; send a query letter and we’ll get back in five minutes to tell you that we can’t do you for XYZ reasons.(You can […]
Distraction is as Distraction Does
As a little distraction I thought I would post a piece of fiction that could, or could not, be in the flash fiction category depending on who you ask. Some feel flash fiction is no more than two hundred and fiftywords and others consider under one thousand qualifies as flash. The piece below is four hundred […]
Writing is as Writing Does
We are probably all aware of the fact that Stieg Larsson wrote the Millennium Series (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the Girl Who Played with Fire, and the Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest). We may also aware that the combined sales of this series have so far passed fifty-three million books. Our final […]
One More Thought About Fiction Favorites (the blog)
On Friday November 16th I wondered aloud (well so to speak) about publishing a blog every day or perhaps concentrating on once a week. My thought was to ensure that my subjects were kept fresh so that those who visited would have the benefit of a five-day period to contemplate what was written and thus be […]
Construction Needed
Normally I would post another author profile as I have each day. In fact, I have one ready on Kinky Friedman but am going to hold until I can figure some things out. I came to the conclusion last night while trying to install a follow me Twitter button on this site that I don’t know […]
Author with Personality
Joseph Heller (1923 – 1999) was a fascinating character as well as a great story teller. His method of constructing a story was to figure out the first line and the last line and then go about filling in the details. He worked on his most famous novel, Catch 22 on and off for about […]
