Orphaned: A Guest Post By Kerry Kijewski
Many thanks to Kerry Kijewski for the below guest post.

Literature has always had an impact on my life, for as long as I can
remember, and I love it because it is where so many lessons and themes about
life can be found.
Over the years, as my love of these stories and characters grew, I began to
notice something interesting.
I seemed to be drawn to a group of fictional characters, all with a common
thread of similarity.
What might this be?
Three of my most favourite characters in...
Can Anyone Name The Novel In Which The Following Dialogue Takes Place?
A question for you. Can anyone name the novel in which the following dialogue takes place?
“Sir, on hearing you speak I am reminded of Shakespeare”.
“Really! My conversation has the ring of Shakespeare about it!You compliment me. To which heroic character do you refer?”
“I refer sir to Macbeth and the lines voiced by him as he nears his end, namely
“a poor playerThat struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

How To Make A Character Seem Realistic: Guest Post By Munazza Bangash
Many thanks to Munazza for the below guest post.
How to make a character seem realistic
As an author, you will be asked this basic question quite a few times in your life. Most people can’t categorize a simple answer in a few words. To many authors out there, it comes naturally. No one believes it until they’ve tried. The reason being very simple—as you write the book (without any crafting [I know: not good. Just pay attention]), you realize that the person your character was on the first pa...

Last Christmas
December 24, 2014. Christmas Eve.
It was unbelievably cold outside. I sat in a café, waiting for less activity outside the streets, and looked around at different people. What I found out were these…

When The Devil Drives
“Needs must when the devil drives”.
Surely the Prince of Darkness doesn’t drive himself. I mean the undisputed ruler of Hell must have a demon or perhaps a damned soul to chauffeur him around. It stands to reason doesn’t it? On the other hand,maybe Lucifer finds all those flunkies somewhat tedious and this explains why he drives himself.
As for the car, I suspect this must be a real gas guzzler as the Devil, to state the blatantly obvious has no concern for the environment. Hold on a minute t...
