I've spoken with a couple writers recently who were discouraged about receiving rejection letters from publishers. (Not a problem when you self-publish =D) Whether you're a writer, or an artist, or a carpenter - don't get discouraged. Do what you love to do, and remember, critics are not always r...

Chapter 10 - DONE!

Feedback so far suggests it's the best chapter in the story at this point. And in my usual style, it's getting pretty nasty now!

You're gonna love it horror fans :-)

I have always been one to list towards strong female characters in movies and books. For me, these women fall into two main categories.
