I find that after a certain number of people die, I just stop caring. The death itself looses impact, and it becomes difficult to become attached to characters when you ...

Me again! One of my favourite authors gave the advise "start where the story is." Meaning you should start the first scene right where things start to happen for the ...

I like to think that I am influenced by all my favourite writers, but the book that seems to actually influence my writing visibly is The Last Unicorn by Peter ...

I'm dealing with the same situation in a story I'm writing. When you think about it, the apple kind of comes out of nowhere. I've decided I'm going to combine ...

I just had to check this out. It's true that the plot does follow the basic mythical pattern, but I find the best works still do. The only concern I ...
