​Who doesn't love to read chilling tales at Halloween that embed inside readers deeply enough for them to bite their nails, shiver, or even scream out loud? This week, just in time for Halloween, I've posted a brand new writing craft article called "Writing Holiday Stories: Tricks (and Treats)" on the Alien Romances Blog. Check it out here:
https://aliendjinnromances.blogspot.com/2022/10/writing-holiday-stories-tricks-and.html
 
Stay tuned! I goofed last Friday, thinking the last section of General Revision Choices for my 12-part writing craft article "Writing Elbow Grease" was the final of the series. But there will be a conclusion to the entire series--coming next week Friday, November 4, 2022.

Stay tuned! I goofed last Friday, thinking the last section of General Revision Choices for my 12-part writing craft article "Writing Elbow Grease" was the final of the series. But there will be a conclusion to the entire series--coming Friday, November 4, 2022. This series was based on the newly reissued reference COHESIVE STORY BUILDING, Volume 2: 3D Fiction Fundamentals Collection. In this series, I went over what could be considered the grunge work in building a cohesive story. Revising, editing, and polishing require a little or a lot of writing elbow grease to finish the job and bring forth a strong and beautiful book. Previous articles in that series include:
