How To
So, you've been writing here for years, you've come a long way baby. You worked on a novel or novella, you feel confident that it was pretty good. You edited it, re edited it, and then edited it again.
Then, with some trepidation, you sent out your submission.
You waited and checked your email every couple of hours just to be sure.
You waited and checked...

How To
Writing the second draft of your novel.
Finally finished? Blissful freedom? That's not a light at the end of a tunnel, that's an oncoming train.
If you have just finished writing your novel, set it down, take a step away, and lock that sucker in a cupboard. Seal it up with chains. Light it on fire. Destroy it. You thought you had to tear your soul out the...

Postscript - "The Freshman" - thoughts about my third novel
"The Freshman" is different from my first two novels ("Maragana Girl" [2005] and "The Wanderings of Amy" [2002]) because it features a submissive male character and his dominant girlfriend. In part, I started this new novel to experiment a bit with my writing. The story starts out as a psychologica...

I felt the need and the requirement to read the last novel in the Twilight saga. It is a set of four books so not really a trilogy. The word 'saga', as it has been referred to is quite an appropriate word. I realized as I finished the last novel that I had read over three thousand pages of a very simplistic and stereotypical story.
In doing research on this...

The obsession continues. Just as I put down my copy of "Twilight", I was then desperate to get my hands on a copy of the next book in the series. I did so and was not disappointed. By the time you read this book, you are in one of two groups of people. You are either absolutely completely obsessed with the book and can't sleep, eat, or do anything until you...

When the story of Psycho went from Robert Bloch's novel to Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 movie, significant and cinematically effective revisions were made. In this writer's opinion, some of these changes were adaptations from the Richard Fleischer movie Compulsion released the previous year.
Real life people and events inspired the novels of both Psycho and Comp...

Introduction - Author's notes about "The Wanderings of Amy" and other erotic discipline fiction
The "Wanderings of Amy" was my first effort to write fiction of any sort. I had prior experience writing works of non-fiction, journalism, and academic research. However, I had always wanted to write fiction and have had ideas for a couple of political novels for...

I have received the question, at times, about who should play characters in a film of my novel "A Pius Man." This got me thinking about adaptations. Given the last decade of novel-to-film movies, the question becomes more interesting.
Looking at the slew of Harry Potter films, filmed comic books, etc, I find that Hollywood has obviously hired people who can...

As an author, I have a newfound respect for other authors. I seem to now dissect and evaluate novels on two very different levels. On one level, I view it as a form of entertainment, determining if the story is amusing and interesting. I try to understand the characters and truly see which character I relate to the most. As an author, I am analyzing the plot...
