Book Brouhaha: Creative People Say No?
http://bookbrouhaha.blogspot.com/2015/04/creative-people-say-no.html
A blog by an independent author with a particular interest in short stories. Wednesday, April 1, 2015. Creative People Say No? I was reading this article by Business Insider here. That suggests that successful creative people all share the ability/trait to say "no." In other words, they don't allow for others to monopolize their time. It was interesting because the thought never occurred to me yet saying "no" is such a huge part of how I operate from day to day if I want to get some writing done. Check o...

A blog by an independent author with a particular interest in short stories. Wednesday, February 18, 2015. Advice from Siblings – A Review. Flash fiction, by its very nature, cuts to the chase, omitting the breadth in favor of depth.

Book Brouhaha: Pacing and Consistency Continued
http://bookbrouhaha.blogspot.com/2015/05/pacing-and-consistency-continued.html
A blog by an independent author with a particular interest in short stories. Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Pacing and Consistency Continued. A few months ago I wrote about how my writing schedule had to change for 2015. I felt the need to follow up now that some time has passed. So far I've remained extremely consistent with sitting down to write each weekday. I still haven't been able to work myself back up to a strict word count but I don't see this as a sign of losing steam with my writing. Check out all o...

Book Brouhaha: May 2015
http://bookbrouhaha.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
A blog by an independent author with a particular interest in short stories. Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Review of "The Memory Man," a short story by Helen Smith. I can't help but like Smith's style. Even after ruthlessly throwing her characters into a grim situation the tone of the story always remains cheeky. This allowed me to instantly connect with the characters and feel genuinely interested in their fates in a comparatively short space of time. I would say that, as a whole, I liked The Memory Man.
