There’s been a lot about how to consistently write articles, but I want to focus on how publishing articles for the sake of publishing should be a cardinal sin. If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say it. If there’s no meat to the article, or there’s nothing that hasn’t been stated before, [...]
There are many short stories out there-many of which make absolutely no sense. It’s fine, if the author slips in an explanation towards the end, but some of them are ridiculous. When I was reading World War Z (which is an exceptional read), I searched for the author’s predecessor to that book, which is called [...]
Like I said on Why Stephen King Makes It Big, Stephen King get’s his popularity from making a lovable (…perhaps that isn’t the correct word) antagonist. I admit, when I was reading It, I kind of wanted It to kill “kill him”, or “kill her”. It’s just…there’s something everybody can love about a good antagonist. [...]
During my (failed) attempt to participate in NaNoWriMo, the national novel writing month which takes place in November (by national, I mean U.S.A. and by November, I mean November), I discovered what is perhaps the greatest writing tool for people who have any sort of attention disorder. Dr. Wicked’s Write Or Die. If you think [...]
“I felt it, days before it came. I doubted it would be able to reach me. Enveloped in a sense of self-security, I ignored it. It didn’t feel, or, at least, before I was OverWritten, it’s presence didn’t feel characteristically evil. It just felt…there.”
Their was only a very small portion of what used to be a highly trained (and, what the politicians cared about, lucrative) special-ops squadron remaining.
“Well, Well, Well, it seems as if I didn’t eliminate all of you. Consider
it my, gift. Surrender, Please.” The Voice had won. [...]
“Oh well, you chose your own fate. Whoever is listening through those
microphones, get an ear load of this!” The Voice said with fury in it’s…voice. Just as they
heard, gears turning and clicking sounds, and to there horror, something
moved from the shadows beyond the gray buildings. Out
stepped (or rolled)…a small little robot. It moved [...]
In many novels, the main characters visit exiting new worlds (the same goes for video games, such as Kingdom Hearts, anad Final Fantasy) . The trouble with this is that it is painfully difficult to create the new worlds, because you have to make up new inhabitants, names, even languages. Christopher Paolini is a good [...]
Many people have many ideas for a great variety of stories. I’d like to know where people like Steven King get the ideas for so many stories…I get my good ideas from dreams (usually nightmares), but other’s can get them from just thinking. Here’s a good exercise to use the ideas you get and develop [...]
While I have explained on my “About Me” page that I have some sort of hyperactivity problem, I think I finally have realized the key to staying with one hobby. It has nothing to do with anything but happyness. I wasn’t going into enough depth on some of my hobbies, so it soon became boring. [...]
