From the Writer's Desk. Monday, February 10, 2014. Bye Bye, Mary Sue. Writers are often faced with an issue when creating characters – believability. We have to balance the task of creating real, fleshed out characters with what we need to tell the story in the space allotted. Some are better at it than others. Those who have failed have led to some interesting character tropes. In particular is the character labeled Mary Sue. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Bye Bye, Mary Sue.

From the Writer's Desk. Tuesday, May 14, 2013. Bad Witing: Who Notices and What Matters. As a blog about writing, I thought it would be useful to delve into the topic of bad writing using this film as an example. The real thing I want to focus on is who notices and what sort of issues matter and what don't. Now, things are a bit different for movies than for books, but not by too much. Yes, they do. But the question is how much. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. EB Black - Death Author.

From the Writer's Desk. Friday, March 15, 2013. Piracy is suppose to be a bad thing, but is it? Is it as dangerous as some make it out to be? My primary example of what to do and not to do comes from aviation. More correctly, the dawn of aviation. As the 20th century dawned, there were many who were trying to use the current engineering to produce a heavier than air flying vehicle. Lighter than air had been mastered more than a century before, but heavier than air was proving a challenge. Joyce Alton - Y...

From the Writer's Desk. Sunday, February 10, 2013. The Bard's Last Hurrah. For well over a century there have been those who doubt that William Shakespeare of Stratford on Avon wrote the plays historically attributed to him. The controversy has always peeked my interest and the more I look into it the more my mind is set that the man from Stradford was indeed the bard. The latest piece I have stumbled across concerned Shakespeare's personal life and how it relates to the plays. Saturday, February 2, 2013.

From the Writer's Desk. Thursday, July 25, 2013. Writing is a constant struggle to maintain the balance between something intimate and something marketable. We put our soul into our work and then we turn around and have to sell it. It doesn't matter if you writer fiction, non-fiction, for movies or for books, you have to sell your writing, your soul, to someone else. And you need to have the answer. Thursday, July 18, 2013. One issue that commonly plagues writers is where to begin a story. The standa...

From the Writer's Desk: Staying Creative
http://sakka48.blogspot.com/2013/12/staying-creative.html
From the Writer's Desk. Monday, December 30, 2013. This is a season when it is hard to stay creative. At least for me. Too many family events going on to keep the writing going. Then it is hard to get back to it. I have plenty of goals for the year. I am working hard to finish one novel right now. I'm 3/4 of the way through it and the end is in sight. But I did take a break on another novel to write this one. So the new year sees me with several projects, including two novels to finish.

From the Writer's Desk. Monday, January 28, 2013. Les Miserables - Still More To Say. It really isn't surprising that with a book the size of Les Miserables, that I would have more to say on it, especially relating to the movie. Sunday, January 27, 2013. An Old Gem - The Conqueror. They have been making movies for a long time. Not all of them have been received well, regardless of the quality of the film. The Conqueror is one such film. The one flaw was the attempt on the part of the screenwriter and the...
