Writing: What I Know
Creative writing is an art, and like all artistic disciplines, consists of two distinct fundamental aspects, the practical and the creative.
Teaching the practical is relatively simple, as the practical method of becoming a good writer is the same as becoming an accomplished ballerina or a plumber; foundational education and constant practice. A writer learns the rules of grammar and sentence struc

Dan Schwent's review
of
Conquer (The John Conquer Series Book 1):
"Conquer collects seven short stories featuring John Conquer plus a preview of the Conquer novel, Fear of a Black Cat.
I'm a huge fan of Edward Erdelac's Merkabah Rider series so when I saw on Facebook that he was writing stories featuring John Conquer" Read more of this review » |

"I'm not some professional book reviewer. Please don't expect some expert analysis of the book.
Conquer contains several short stories of the title character, John Conquer, and they're all quite entertaining. Conquer is a hard working detective in New Y" Read more of this review » |

“All of them were shriveled, desiccated, bone-thin and skeletal, every jaw cruelly broken, opening and closing in mute entreaty, the teeth clacking together like macabre wind chimes as they pendulated in the lurching trees.”

“They were marched in an easterly direction down a dirt road into the pitch-black forest, and Barclay was reminded again of a medieval king leading his serfs to some pagan rite. Flanking”

“Words have a force far beyond that of ink stains on pages or spoken sounds... Whether written or spoken, language found in forbidden books can warp space-time and tear the fabric of reality.”

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of the infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.”

“Everybody knocks my female figures. They say they're overblown, that women don't look like that. And I agree. certainly all women don't look like my paintings. But you can't deny some women do look like that. I don't want to paint just another woman. A painting, it's something important; you want to look at it, maybe forever. Who wants to look at just an ordinary hero forever? You want the ultimate, you pull out the stops and do everything in extremes. The extreme in beauty, if it fits; the extreme in ugliness if it fits; the extreme in terror if this is what's required. You know, I think this is one reason that so many people enjoy my stuff, because all of these extremes are jammed into it.”
