Description?
It’s one of my banes. Description of places, people, things in a story that need to be there. I’ve devoured how other people do it, read up on the best/worst for each style of storytelling. Does it help? Sometimes. One book I had to read about three times before I realised what he meant. That’s … Continue reading Description?

FOWC – Penchant, not Pedant
This guy: does this thing and offers up a word to make a few words of wasteful wantoness. Not really, but today for me is a day of whimsy. I’m not editing, so this state of mind is a way to play out a story. I have a penchant for wilderness writing, childish writing, overly … Continue reading FOWC – Penchant, not Pedant

Seriously?
No, don’t take the following story too seriously. It’s not meant to be serious. It’s a fly-by-the-seat-of-the-pants story. It’s only a story. Again, With Bite Sit still, you old bugger. I’ll strap you in proper and we’ll head off to the quacks. No, it’ll be quiet. Everyone’s at home. There’s a new illness. Don’t squawk, … Continue reading Seriously?
