Jan 20, 2011 - I'm to be featured in Daytona Beach's "News-Journal" in September 2011 as a local author. I wrote a 96-page book entitled "Along the Far Climb Down" that's for sale at the notorious Polyester Books: 330 Brunswick St., Fitzroy (a suburb of Melbourne), Victoria, Australia. It's on page 1 of their web site. Type "Along the Far Climb Down" into Google's image file and you'll be nearly there.

Jun 16, 2011 - I love this man. It's so frustrating to hear writers say "Writing is a trip of a thousand miles in the pitch dark with 20 feet of headlight beams in front of you. " I can't work like that. Irving worked his whole way to "who were -- if there ever were -- Princes of Maine, Kings of New England" with the final sentence itself already before him like a beacon. Craft is not only what you put in, it's what you know you must leave out. You can test the work at every step against your known arc.

Aug 24, 2011 - Writers often have imaginary friends. They become the audience to our creation, listen and support us as we struggle to find words for what we wish to say.We even write them notes sometimes, as if we're leaving notes on the fridge for a friend. We write "thanks for listening," "you help me think," and "gone to lunch."It's really just a visionary way of talking to the whole world at once in the future.The best imaginary friends, however, are the real ones who read what we write in the present.

Oct 17, 2011 - I normally wouldn't post stuff like this on videos, but I'm getting a little desperate. I am involved in a creative writing contest, wherein contestants try to write a story, poem, sketch, song lyrics, etc. a week for 52 weeks. It does cost $15, but the fee is primarily used for prize money for winning entries. If interested, please visit theproject52.wordpress for all information. (with three w's before and a dot-com after) Thank you
