NORTH COUNTY WRITERS BLOC: Ode to Suddenly
http://northcountywritersbloc.blogspot.com/2011/05/ode-ot-suddenly.html
NORTH COUNTY WRITERS BLOC. Monday, May 16, 2011. SUDDENLY, I CRITIQUED. Do we need to rip from the rich English language this poor snibbling word? Might we get rid of tragically, randomly, beautiful? How about, It was a dark and stormy night? Hell, throw-em all out, but beware of dead prose promising a good sleep for the reader. And what does a reader want? Generally, they don’t put down a novel over our affectations. Most readers feel the whole, we analyze the parts. In the Dimwit’s Dictionary, fi...

NORTH COUNTY WRITERS BLOC: COMMA CRAZY
http://northcountywritersbloc.blogspot.com/2011/06/comma-crazy.html
NORTH COUNTY WRITERS BLOC. Thursday, June 9, 2011. I decided to write about commas since a fellow writer asked me to look at her commas or lack thereof and because I’m considered a comma expert. Ha. Ha. Also, in a writing contest, I got dinged for this:. I wrote, “Got something Colonel from Zachari’s men.”. They corrected, “Got something, Colonel, from Zachari’s men.”. 8221; I remembered distinctly that commas were optional in short sentences and when the meaning was obvious, so I checked it out. 8 Use c...

NORTH COUNTY WRITERS BLOC. Wednesday, December 22, 2010. Orin Parker December, 2010. Seasons Greetings, Writing strugglers. The Holiday strains us word-jugglers.

We write but shouldn’t we finally admit. That what we write we must submit? The agents are there, waiting to attack. To tell us what our word-gems lack. Sobers ...
