A: Dedicated micro website If the publisher thinks it's a good idea they ought to tell their marketer to set one up and ask you to approve the content.

A: Unpunctuation: bug or feature? McCarthy did it because his writing is strong enough to allow him to get away with it. James Joyce did it too. My fellow students in fourth grade also wrote with little or no punctuation. As far as I know not one of my classmates ever had a novel published. (Yeah, maybe they never wrote one...) The...

A: The opposite sex in first person? If you have a notion that something is wrong then your "block" is that the method you have chosen is frustrating you. Stop! You have found a way that you are not comfortable writing even if as you say you are still writing. You will do nothing more than get more frustrated. If anyone suggested a def... (more) |

A: I have compiled a poetry book with poems of 4chan users. It has a lot of vulgarisms, is it possible to publish something like that? As someone mentioned earlier- anything can be published. If the real question is will a publisher pay you anything to publish it-The answer is will enough people pay money for the work to allow the publisher a chance to get a ROI?

A: How do I re-interest myself in a plot I am working on? If you've lost interest there is a good chance that an agent/audience will too. Put it away and try to write something else. We all have works in "non-progress." Better to find out now; it will decrease the number of rejection letters. Resurrection of the dead is in the realm of a religious issue. ... (more) |

A: Dialogue writing practices? First choose the genre that you intend to write. Find a good example of this genre. (even better than the printed page is a movie or tv show) Pick a scene and transcribe the dialog. It might sound hokey but it will give you a sense of brevity, pacing, cadence, and interchange.

A: How to fix awkward "sufficiently... that..." sentence structure? The database layout is sufficiently similar across source data formats that we can write a single SQL query to export each output data format.

A: So I finished my novel. Now what do I do? Your fun has just started. Look at the first three chapters. Look at the first sentence. Look at the first five pages. Each of these are critical if you want to sell it. Do not even bother with a re-write of more than the first three chapters until you have an agent/publisher interested. All of th... (more) |

A: What can I write to improve reader participation at this blog? First, I doubt that I would ever seek out a blog related to a "Costume Company." I suspect there might be a few others like me. That being said, what is THEIR take-away? If you are not GIVING them something that makes them REALLY want to read it then I doubt if they'll be waiting for your next post.... (more) |
