Saturday, August 17, 2013. By its very nature, writing is deeply introspective work. So what's a writer to do? While it is necessary for us writers to immerse ourselves in our work we do need to be self-aware and recognize unhealthy triggers. As long as writing has been a profession many well-established authors have held down outside jobs and managed to successfully juggle writing, work and family responsibilities. It is a very delicate balance, but it can be done. Bottom line, while the writing lifesty...

Thursday, July 18, 2013. Writing is HARD work. There I said it! Recently, I had a conversation with a fellow writer about different writing styles.

Tuesday, December 3, 2013. Serious vs. not so serious WRITERS. A popular school of thought about writers is that if you're not consumed by a burning desire to write every day or if writing is not a major driving force in your life then you must not be very serious about your craft. I think once we subscribe to the notion that we should be somewhere. So, let life happen and know when to get back 'on the writers's saddle'. Romance, She Wrote. Links to this post.

Sunday, April 28, 2013. The Golden Era of Flash Fiction! Other names for flash fiction are short-shorts, short story, micro fiction, novelette, postcard, pocket-size story, and minute-long story. What is flash fiction? Though by definition the context of flash fiction is to remain extremely short, it is not a venue that tolerates fragmented writing. The challenge of flash fiction is to tell a complete story in an well-expressed, concise fashion in which every word is absolutely essential. That’s al...
