The Bride Stripped Bare isn't a difficult read by any means. Told in "lessons" of 2-3 pages each the story moves along at a cracking pace. Opening with a wife and mother having gone missing and the manuscript discovered by our missing authors...

This is the second last weekend of November, and we're all scrambling to hit our desired word counts now. Hopefully in the next two days you'll be able to put aside some extra time to write, time to write three or four or five thousand words so that...

I've written a couple of hundred words so far, and I will try for a few more in a moment (just have to make the most of it while my internet connection is working).
During the day, whenever I had a spare minute, I pictured the next scene I need...

It's going to be a busy week. I've managed to post something every day so far this month - good thing since I'm taking part in NaBloPoMo again - and I hope I will keep the routine up.

For the past few weeks, I've been battling a bad case of bronchitis, which is part of the reason I haven't updated lately. So, partly to remedy my recent lack of content and partly to indulge my own desire to blog again, I've decided to present...

To-day was thanksgiving day at the Church and the Bishop came to visit. Fortunately, my neighbour pointed out that the service, to-day would be a combined one, so would not start until 10 am instead of the usual 8.30 start I was used to. I...

Recently I chose to quit smoking. I also decided that as a congratulatory self-gift I would take $50 of the money I had saved by not smoking and buy myself a treat each month. My first month came and went and while walking through K-Mart I...

So we ran.
All of the earth looked the same, through the rain, there seemed no direction, no place to run to. The sky had darked and it seemed as if the air itself had turned to shadow. I felt as if we were cursed, created to be devoured,...

Inspired by my previous post or perhaps by the changing weather, for yesterday was seethingly, blissteringly HOT and to-day it is not, to-day it is refreshingly cool, cloudy and overcaste with promises of rain which so far have not been...

Great advice for writers: Read bad stuff.
Not only is it encouraging to read bad fiction, it also is a great way to learn what you shouldn't do and improve your editing skills (handy skill post-NaNoWriMo). It's so much easier to see other...

The Dogs of Riga

A Kurt Wallander Book

By now to be on track you should be at 3, 333 if you're aiming for 50K. If you followed my suggestion and managed to write more than that on the first, that's great.

A few years ago on MySpace I read an inspirational short tory called "Lavender".
The full article is now available at Brizzle's Basket by William A Browning (aka Bill Brizzle).
This guy is an amazing story writer. He writes based on real life...

Massive thanks go to Paul for word of mouthing me this book to read. Apologies to the fine author, Perry Moore, as I borrowed the book as opposed to buying my own.

Onward the solider marches throught the night not caring of nayone else's plight. All he
