I could not resist including that happening and built an entire chapter around it. Thus, yet again, life as the stuff of novels.
The Stuff Of Novels
The Next Next
As a writer, one tends to think ahead too. I find now that I am getting on with the new book, appearing in the back of my mind is what happens after it.
Wiki Me (Sorta)
I thought I would here have a chuckle and create a somewhat tongue-in-cheek version of a Wiki that is factually the real me, but under the pseudonym.
Writing Wit And Wisdom (And Reality Checks)
If you cannot impress readers while remaining true to yourself, you are doing writing wrong.
This 1994 Cast
“Fiction” is almost never entirely “fictitious.” As my uncle once told me: “Fiction comes from fact, and lots of fact makes great fiction when you re-write it as fiction.” (I want that in my obituary. 😉 )
In The Early Morning Quiet
“But this must be very tiring for you, Robert? Shall I see England too? Oh, but I know you are still creating me. I hope I shall be beautiful and memorable…”

“You wrote here she’s brown-haired, but I thought she was a blonde?”
The term “passive-aggressive” may well have been coined by someone observing a jealous author reviewing another’s work.
The Scariest “One”
Every page is important, but for a writer (in my humble opinion) “Page 1” is probably the scariest one.
That Name
The Sun Also Rises is said to be probably his best novel. Interestingly, too, it is his first. (Not something most writers wish for themselves.)
“All for one, one for all”
I envy someone reading it for the first time.
“I enjoyed this book….”
I saw this yesterday on Google+ (via Adele Archer and DL Keur). It’s a link to a Grimace and Giggle piece by author Russ Linton. He writes on Amazon’s “cracking down” on […]
The Unpredictable Visitors
That “Fun With New Zealand’s Flag” post – from the (northern hemisphere) summer of 2015 – has in the last few days brought in tons of Kiwi visitors. It continues to do […]
Dueling iPads At Dawn
We can forget – or we choose maybe to try to overlook – how competitive writing can be. Given the nature of the craft, that isn’t surprising: some authors will invariably achieve […]
