(Although…I hear tell that nigh on 5,000 people showed up for a neighborhood snowball fight in Dupont Circle! 160; Now what does this have to do with writing? Do Maine writers (other than Stephen King) hit the bestseller lists more often than those who hang out in Key West? 160; I'm not ...I love writi...

Finally, once you've chosen your POV character(s) decide on a plan for timing the shifts in perspective. Although some au...

Tuesday, December 29, 2009. Chasing the Latest Literary Trend—Smart, or Not? 160; Okay, so vampires are hot. Seems like all you have to do is stick a blood thirsty (literally) vamp in your novel and it will sell like hotcakes. Or so you've been told.

Friday, August 13, 2010. Where do best-selling authors get their great ideas? Sometimes when we mortal writers struggle to find an interesting topic, we feel as if we're drawing from a dry well.
