Friday at last. Last week I published a story about the Friday Catcher. You can read it here: wp.me/p2Qoij-RX A few comments lead me to come back to the story since none of us could figure out where time goes. Last Friday’s story had a character’s wife calling on Wednesday to find out where her […]

Clumsy Dialog is as Clumsy Dialog Does
I did a post last week on Fiction Favorites titled Dialog is as Dialog Does where I attempted to demonstrate some of the principles necessary for good dialog. The piece is a bit of flash fiction that contained only dialog and really no context with the idea that the reader could figure out the story with […]
