A Novel Approach

May 21st, 2008 | By User ImagePlotDog | Category: A Novel Approach, A Novel Approach - Process

So many ways to write; so many theories, tools, tricks, software, concepts and almost none of them create the necessary motivation to keep writing when you are doing it from home.  Oh sure, I know that when I was in college and law school, it was easy to use my writing to avoid my homework.  [...]

Doing It All Wrong

May 12th, 2008 | By User ImagePlotDog | Category: Write to Blog, Writer's Life

(How I get killer visualizations and shorter more cohesive story lines)
As you might have guessed (if you have read any of my other posts) I just ain’t normal. Ask my Mom, Ex-wife, Professors, and most anyone who knows me, I definitely do things differently. On the upside to that, I [...]



Chapter 9 - Dead Play

May 10th, 2008 | By User ImagePlotDog | Category: Dead Play, Serialized Novel

It was, to any eye, an odd threesome; the two patients and their therapist.  Bill Susman sat and glowered at his pathetic luck in life.  He realized that he was a touch too slick and not quite handsome enough.  He was just a middle-aged insurance salesman in the waning days of his ability to stand [...]

May 3rd, 2008 | By User ImagePlotDog | Category: Blogging, Write to Blog, Writer's Life

It’s dark out now, the sun is down, the house is quiet and I scope the hallway. I need to make sure everyone is settled. I close the drapes, turn on a favorite video, fire up the internet and shamefaced click into areas of the internet I never knew existed.

It’s All Write to Blog

May 1st, 2008 | By User ImagePlotDog | Category: Write to Blog, Writer's Life

The Battles We Face and Compromises We Make. I have been writing for a very long time; sometimes with more intensity than others, sometimes less.
