How Do You Respond To Criticism?
“I didn't know you were trying to be a writer.”
“Have you ever been published?”
“How good can you be if you don't have an agent?”
I've been a writer for over 25 years. I've accomplished a lot in that time but the majority of it has been through sheer hard work. Nothing in my literary career has ever been handed to me on a plate. The comments above are... Read more of this blog post »

Writing Believable Characters - By Carol Holland March
"
Yes, it’s true. My characters talk to me.
Sometimes they sit in my office. In a circle. Nodding yes. Shaking their heads no.
Yes, they have lives of their own. They go off on tangents I wouldn’t have expected. They do things I don..."

| I kind of liked this... the content is right up my alley (see above), and there was much that was amusing and/or interesting, but there are two problems with this book: no table of contents and no index. Still, it's a good bathroom book. | |

Literary Miscellany: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Literature
by Alex Palmer

| I love books like this! It combine two of my favourite things: books and trivia! Lots of little literary gems here. Nice layout, nice images. The content flows nicely - it doesn't just feel like a "dump" of tidbits. | |

| I truly wanted to like this... Really... But it just didn't work for me. The style and dialogue are good - funny as Hell at times - but the plot was weak. | |

“Merda! Her lace panties had snagged on his ring, the signet ring he'd inherited from his father, Giacomo Casanova. His father had seduced hundred of women without any problems whatsoever, and he was having trouble with just one. This was the real reason he never used the Casanova name. He could never live up to his father's reputation. The old man was probably laughing in his grave.
Nine circles of hell," Jack muttered.
Hell?" Lara asked. "I thought I was the Holy Land."
You're paradise. Unfortunately, I am stuck there."
Her eyes widened. "Stuck?"
Normally, I would love being stuck to your lovely bum, but it would look odd if we go sightseeing with my hand under your skirt. Especially in the basilica."
She glanced down. "How can you be stuck?"
My ring. It's caught in the lace. See?" He moved his hand down her hip, dragging her undies down a few inches.
Okay, stop." She bit her lip, frowning, then suddenly giggled. "I can't believe this has happened."
I assure you, as much as I had hoped to get your clothes off, this was not part of my original plan."
She snorted. "No problem. Just rip yourself loose."
Are you sure?" It will destroy you undies."
She narrowed her eyes with a seductuve look. "Rip it."
Very well." He jerked his hand away, but the panties came with him. He yanked his hand back and forth, but the lacy, latex material simply stretched with him. "Santo cielo, they are indestructible."
Lara laughed.
He continued to wage battle, but to no avail. "They could use this material to build spaceships.”
― Kerrelyn Sparks, Secret Life of a Vampire
