Not bad. Covers a set of well-known fundamentals which most beginning writers encounter elsewhere. The advantage to your page are the easy-to-read and patient explanations of each concept. Determined attempt to make things lucid and transparent. Nice website overall.

It's interesting how writers approach the process of creating a story. Here is a link to a thread on Goodreads that reveals much: Here.

Thank you sir. I appreciate the feedback. I think it is far too late in the history of storytelling for me to give original advice. The best I can hope for at this point is trying to make it clear.

Have fun.

Thank you Don. I tried to add to the discussion by posting the link to my essays. Hopefully other people will like the site as much as you do.

Gamal,

I liked the comment "J" made on your blog: "Prose should be poetry with legs." I think he's right. You know, Hemingway rewrote the ending of Farewell to Arms 39 times. Now that's dedication to your craft.

He almost wrote a 40th one. After he bid his arms farewell, he just couldn't write anymore.
