The world of writing is a fascinating one. I don't truly believe we ever stop learning in life and that is very true when it comes to writing. Even our own writing has lessons to teach if we only take the time to listen to them. For example, Born of Blood, my debut novel coming out on March 23, was loaded with lessons which I assume is true for all authors when they publish their first story. When it came time to write my second novel I started with the idea of continuing the story but to also focus on another aspect of my writing. For the sequel I focused more on opening up the characters to the readers. Allowing the reader to see inside the hearts and minds of my characters was a great exercise in added depth to their development. I believe I achieved that and the story was made better b...

The silver lining shines brightest when outlining the darkest cloud.
Love is a beautiful thing. The innocence of high school love is the stuff of romance. When high school sweethearts bond and marry everyone is thrilled and excited. But, sadly to say, many of these marriages of high school sweethearts go awry…many switch from bliss to nightmare. Even in situations like this there is hope; a hope that transcends our understanding at times but still there. In ‘Unheard Cries – A Marriage Horror’ we see, first hand, the violence of a bad marriage and the rise of hope from that bleak shadow.
‘Unheard Cries – A Marriage Horror,’ is the account of Emma and Aaron. Emma, the sweet girl with a mild wild side and Aaron, the black sheep of his family...

| Showing the Story Without Telling It |
| 2011-12-29 16:20:58 |
Before I get to my post today I would like to share a story with you. Don't worry, it's not long but it does play a part in today's post.
There once was a charming couple who rented a rather nice home just outside of a small town. One day, while talking to the landowner, the man of the house asked if he could have permission to chop down twelve large trees in the front yard. The landowner agreed and so the man began chopping down the trees.
A few weeks past by and the townsfolk noticed that the man's wife was nowhere to be seen. They asked the man where she was and he replied "she is visiting her parents." A few more weeks pasted and they asked again in which he gave another reason why the woman wasn't there. Well, the townspeople began to wonder and become concerned so they called the police. The police came out, investigated the house and asked the man questions before leaving. The investigator stopped at the nearby diner for lunch and shared that he found nothing amiss in the hous...

| Tis The Season |

This has been a tough year for many of us but we pushed through and now stand at the thresh-hold of the most joyous time of the year. Soon we will step into a new year with renewed hopes and dreams but more on that later. It is sad to think that there are individuals around us who fall into depression during this time of year. Be it the lose of a loved one, a job, a home or simply not being able to give the kids that big gift they really want people find themselves surrounded by negative thoughts and feelings during a time when joy and love should prevail.
This time of year should be one of smiles, laughs, and yes, reflection. What should we reflect on? Well, what we should not reflect on is the negative aspects of life. I know that can be difficult but we really should push those things out of our mind. With those thoughts and feelings out of the way what should we focus on? The positive aspects of our life. To begin, if you are reading this or chatting on Twitter, Facebook, and/or Go...

| Endings and Conclusions |
| 2011-12-12 20:10:18 |
I've been working hard on my latest novel and, in doing so, I've had a little time to think about a few aspects of writing. We've discussed the first paragraph, the first line, the hook, and even the body. We even touched on developing the body and finally the importance of the ending. The ending of the book drew my attention once more because of it's complexity. Yes, I said complex.
A somewhat strange thought occurred to me while I was making notes and plotting my novel. You see, I have notes about my story and characters; I have developed the plot and settings but I stumbled on the ending. I can't actually say that. I know how the story ends, it is the conclusion that I'm having problems with. I know how I want the story to end but the actual conclusion is a little tricky. What is the difference between the ending of a story and the conclusion of a story?
To be honest, I'm not really sure about the difference myself but I do have my thoughts about it. To me the ending of a story dr...

| What Would We Do Without Editors? |
| 2011-12-02 17:20:01 |
I have a confession - I really had no clue regarding editors and the depth of their occupations. I've often wondered if they were all up-tight individuals who pine over words and destroy you if you have a comma out of place. I often pictured them as old librarians with glasses riding the lower edge of their nose. As I said, I had no idea.
Things became a little more clear over the years as I talked to and interviewed editors. I even had a few as guest her on The New Author but still the behind the scenes look at the life of an editor seemed closed off. At times it felt like you needed to have a special identification card or secret handshake to truly get close to editors.
Like I said, I had no idea. All of that changed once I became published. I was assigned to two editors - one for content and a line editor. Yes, I have mention this before but even more changed once I began working with these two individuals. It was like Moses parting the Red Sea, the curtain opening so the actors c...

Growing and expanding in new and original ways.
In a nation where it is politically incorrect to talk about church and Christianity it is refreshing to see books on the market that shares the news of just that - today’s church. “The Most Influential Pastors In America” is one of those books. It goes beyond simply listing the fastest, largest and most impactful churches. It also provides a descriptive explanation of how these churches grew and expanded the congregation.

Richard D. Young delivers this book with an educated and elegant hand. The descriptions and information contained on the pages of “The Most Influential Pastors In America” is greatly complimente...
