Sundown Companion: Chapter 3 · 1:35am Sep 16th, 2014

Hello, it's me again. The hack who writes Sundown for you fine folks. Sorry that this one took so long to do and that it is shorter than what I said it'd be, but then originally it had a lengthy flashback instead of two short ones. Thank you all for sticking with me through this all. I appreciate it more than I can express. I should stop rambling and just move onto the bit where I explain my reasoning for the chapter.

Sundown Companion: Chapter 2 · 4:31pm Aug 18th, 2014

Hello all! Welcome to the second of these blogs about Sundown and the logic I am using for it. I am so pleased that so many people have read Sundown. I am a bit overwhelmed at how many people are giving it attention. I almost shied away and hid! Thank you so much!

Sundown Companion: Chapter 1 · 9:28pm Jul 28th, 2014

For those who are following me now, I wish to explain why you are seeing this particular wall of text again. After a comment I believed it was for the best if I moved the explaination of the events to somewhere optional rather than stick it on the bottom of the story itself. I will not tag the blog with Sundown however, so only those of you who follow me should see each one of these. They will always be paired with a chapter.

How is a good story composed? · 10:47am Dec 1st, 2015

No offense. But we have all had our fair share of bad stories and fictions out there. I Personally wish to know this. But you can also put information and tips for other authors here.

How to (Not) Write Story Beginnings · 7:03am Apr 28th, 2020

So you have a story with a good description, fitting cover art, original title, and an appealing premise, yet it seems that the views and votes are not coming in as fast as you‘d like? There might be many reasons behind your lack of success, including, but not limited to, bad luck and bad timing, the title, description and so on not being as perfect as you think, and, lastly, the story itself not being as good as you advertised it to be.

Being a Better Writer: Coming At Things Anew - Beating "Writer's Block" · 9:16pm Jun 22nd, 2015

So, I learned something new this weekend. It turns out, if you overdo your carpal tunnel preventative exercises, you will prevent carpal tunnel ... but you can also give yourself tendinitis.

Whoops.

Yeah, so my right arm is nice and comfy in an ace bandage while I type this. It shouldn't get in the way of my writing too much, but let my tale be a cautionary one: you can be too preventative of carpal tunnel, apparently.

Being a Better Writer: Character Relations · 3:24pm Aug 9th, 2016

With a title like that, I’m sure some of you thought that this was going to be about relationships. Maybe even romance, or even something steamier.

Yeah, no. Sorry. And for that last one, don’t get your hopes up. That’s not what I write (and yet people keep requesting it …).

Being a Better Writer: Author Morals and Story Theme · 8:52pm Jun 20th, 2016

So, right now, I think I may be able to guess what many of you are thinking, which is, upon looking at the title: Hey, didn’t we just read this like a week or two ago? To which I say, yes, almost.

For those of you who weren’t yet thinking, but now have looked up and noticed the similarities in the title, yes, it’s almost the same topic. In fact, there’s only a single word of difference.

Being a Better Writer: Tragedy and Hubris · 9:56pm Aug 14th, 2017

"All the honors go to the tragedian for chewing up the scenery, while the comedian, who has to be much more subtle to be funny, is just loudly criticized when he doesn’t come through."

Being a Better Writer: Writing for Yourself · 9:45pm Oct 2nd, 2017

Short one today, readers. Mostly because I’m writing this between conference sessions on a Saturday, as I’ve got work shifts Monday and Tuesday, among other things, and so it’s literally a case of “Blitz this while I can!”
