Grab the Readers' Attention.

In my youth, I didn’t like to write. I didn’t even like to read anything except Superman comic books. Superman was action, the narrative was dynamic, and I could tell folks anything they ever wante…

Dreams are worthwhile. They sometimes motivate us to succeed.

Some folks can write anywhere, anytime, and in any situation. I applaud them, and somewhat envy them, but that doesn’t work for everyone. Most of us need a place where we can shut out the noi…

Apparently there was a glitch in the Facebook system which generated double-posting. We corrected the error, and are therefore, reposting these articles. It will be easier to follow now. Happy reading.

Have you found it difficult to write a book? I understand, because in the past I had a hard time writing a simple blog. But listening to and reading from professional writers has set me free. Writi…

If you have questions and/or comments, contact me. Communicating and getting information won't cost you anything.

What are your passions? What flows through your mind every week, if not every day? What do you wish people knew? What would you tell others if you had an audience? By writing a book, you have an op…

Thoughts are fleeting and will evaporate within seconds if we don't grab and capture them. Consider the following blog.

Have you ever had an amazing thought, revelation, or inspiration, but it evaporated into oblivion? Yep, it happens to all of us. But if our mind is working like it’s supposed to, why can’t we remem…

After reading this one, write and tell me what you thought about it.

On Monday morning, the teacher gave the economics class the assignment: You have until Friday morning to write and hand in a three to five-page article about a dime. Many of the kids thought it was…

My wife enjoys putting puzzles together. She feels great when they are completed. They take time, but are not always difficult. Writing is the same.

I like what best-selling author Randy Ingermanson said in his discussion about writing stories. He likes to start a story to see how it ends because when he starts one, it takes on a life of its ow…

I agree with what my dad taught me: "Don't spend money if you don't have to. But if you need help, spend your money wisely." Please hear me - paying an experienced editor is wise. Please read on.

Often, what someone tries to convey in writing isn’t what the reader perceives. Also, the writer sometimes makes errors that his or her own mind glosses over. That’s why, after the document is comp…

Some time ago, I wrote about something I didn't really care about. You might have guessed what happened. Yep, it went flat. Try to avoid doing that.

I suppose that is a goofy way to start this blog, but let’s talk about it in a literary sense. One of the reasons I had difficulty writing when I was a kid was simple: I had to write about the topi…

Not every blog and book is for everyone.

If you’ve read my blogs on either web site for a while, you’ll note that not all of them are pertinent to your situation. You’ll also note that a few seem redundant, and many of t…

Have you ever thought about making a good impression on someone? If we didn't do it right, we seldom get a second chance. The same principle goes with writing a book.
