My blog for my literary musings and creative endeavours. Monday, 28 May 2012. Music: the most popular facet of the arts, with the possible exception of cinema. It is also potentially the most commercially viable, the most subjective and at times the most hotly contested. It is also the most versatile, not only in terms of genre and sub-genre, arrangement, et cetera. But also in terms of context and application, be it as a soundtrack to a movie or television show, advertising jingle (okay, bad example!

My blog for my literary musings and creative endeavours. Saturday, 14 April 2012. Because no novel is complete without a title. I finally have a title for my novel (the noir novel completed in October). After years of referring to it by its working title "Noir" it now has a real title: Breaking Point. It's starting to feel more legit now. A massive "thank you" to Nikki for suggesting the title, and to Sarah for encouraging me to not go with a cheesy, cliched, pulpy title like Murder in Manhattan.

My blog for my literary musings and creative endeavours. Monday, 17 September 2012. Further Thoughts on Sex in Literature. Something a friend said in response to my previous post. Got me thinking a little more about this topic. She said that she would love to read scenes that are realistic, "awkwardness and randomly inappropriate humour and all". I guess the best example I saw of this was in Ben Elton's This Other Eden. Saturday, 15 September 2012. Thoughts on Sex in Literature. Made the observation that...

Kev Stacey: On archetypes and story arcs
http://the-jester1.blogspot.com/2014/11/on-archetypes-and-story-arcs.html
My blog for my literary musings and creative endeavours. Wednesday, 5 November 2014. On archetypes and story arcs. On the night of Monday October 13th I attended a seminar presented by Dr. Ian Irvine (the academic, writer and poet from Bendigo, not the fantasy writer and marine scientist from Sydney) which focused on story archetypes - plot structure, characters, et cetera. With reference to The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers. 2) Call to Adventure/Herald. 3) Refusal of Call. Externalisati...
