http://becomingnovelist.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Here are some of the steps I have taken and am still taking on the road to becoming a published novelist. Tuesday, January 15, 2013. 100 word challenge #73: The Arbitration of the Strings. I just came across a neat idea, the 100 word challenge. It resides on this blog: Julias Place. The idea is to take a starting phrase and write 100 words around it. This is week #73, the phrase is …the notes from the piano…. How have I missed this for so long? The Arbitration of the Strings. The notes from the piano.

Just Tell the Story!: Rants, Revisited
http://justtellthestory.blogspot.com/2013/01/rants-revisited.html
Just Tell the Story! Sunday, January 20, 2013. Yesterday my local writing group critiqued a number of pieces, some long, some short. Yes, one of them was mine. I appreciate the feedback the other members give me, the "this doesn't work for me and here's why" or "I'm liking this more all the time". One post, however, was labeled an essay. It read more like a blog post.or a rant. You get the drift. It deteriorated from there, and we ended without a meeting of the minds or with any idea our fellow write...

BAesides assorted Strathmore and tracing pads, I found the now-extinct Craftint Doubletone illustration board. (Maybe there are even the chemicals for it in the bottom of the box.). Small...

Adventures In Hypertension: Poem: Elder Care
http://victorhypertension.blogspot.com/2007/07/poem-elder-care.html
This blog began with my need to give a voice to being a high blood pressure patient (me). It has grown to include my fables and poetry (which often illustrate those life stresses which can create Hypertension). For REALLY good writing, try reading the the Outsider Writers site (link below), which includes my book review section (not that my writing is bad, and I resent me for implying that). Friday, July 06, 2007. The first time I stole from mom was the hardest. It was the guilt, I think, she is 91.

Storytelling in All its Forms: The Supporting Cast is the Lead – Memnon

Storytelling in All its Forms. Dedicated to storytelling in its many forms: from short stories to movies. Monday, January 31, 2011. The Supporting Cast is the Lead – Memnon. In my continuing quest to read historical fiction based on ancient Greece, I ran into “Memnon”, a tale that takes place during the age of Alexander the Great. Last year I read the novel. That presented Alexander’s rise from his point of view. It was an intriguing character study that worked well. Roman J. Martel. Roman J. Martel.
