I recently had a friend ask me about writing and publishing. I launched into this long discussion and then realized just how complicated it all was. Do you ever find your friends and loved one glazing over when you talk about...

It's the unofficial start of summer in the U.S. and I was wondering, do people find it more or less difficult to write in the summer months? I personally find it easier to get thoughts to flow, but harder to commit to the action...

I've watched Criminal Minds for a long time now. I enjoy the show, but lately have found that the episodes are becoming a bit stale. While I hate it when this happens, long running shows do have this problem. In the beginning,...

Watching all the spontaneous celebrations after the announcement of OBL's death was a strange experience. On the one hand, it's good to see so many people praising the US, on the other, there is something disturbing about seeing...

The southern United States has just gone through the worst series of storms in quite a while. Some people have lost everything, while a huge number have suffered property damage of varying degrees of severity.
It is a reminder...

I know that there are a lot of people here who feel very strongly about their political beliefs and more power to them, but do you ever just say, "ENOUGH!"
After a while the drone of the pundits, the double-talk of the...

The final episode of the Being Human (BBC)completely shocked me. I kept saying, they won't do it, they won't do it. But they did. Mitchell met his wolf-shaped bullet.
I recently read an article where Toby Whithouse (creator)...

I recently purchased a book because it look really, really interesting. As always, I checked to see if it was part of a series. Apparently, I didn't check well enough, because after really getting into it, I found out it was the...

Everybody has a different definition of the term accomplishment. But what is it about an action that makes people feel that they did something. Is it the outcome of the action, the act of doing the action? What do you think is...

I can understand people's revulsion to the priest scandal, but that was the priests not the followers. Yet, I hear people frequently disparaging Catholics and attacking them for their beliefs and it's all okay. While many may...

I was someone who let the first draft take me where it would. But, now I'm beginning to wonder if plotting might not be the way to go. Everyone's process is different, but I'm finding myself getting a little frustrated with...

A few days ago it was sleeting/snowing, then it was in the seventies (F) and now it's damp and cold. Welcome to the wonderful month of March where the weather appears to have a vendetta against everything. It's cold one minute,...

It's been one of those days and I can't think of a thing to write on my current project or the ones coming down the pike. It's not writer's block, per se, but it's frustrating. Other than writing "I am a fish" over and over, I'm...

Does anyone podcast their writing? Or listen to podcasts of other peoples' writing? Things like Metamor City?
I love radio dramas and have really enjoyed some of the books I've heard poscasted. I was wondering how many people...

I look forward to my weekly dose of the Vampire Diaries, but they keep throwing these gaps into the scheduling. I know they're trying to draw it out, but it's frustrating. When you're eager to find out what happens next, it sucks...

As we watch the world changing dramatically, should we write only for political change? History has long showed us that the written word carries great power for change, good or bad, should authors make a concerted effort to...
