July 01, 2015

Novelist Chuck Palahniuk once stated, "It's funny how the beauty of art has so much more to do with the frame than the artwork itself."

We've all seen them - beautiful pieces of art hanging on the wall, screaming, "It's not the right fit!" - but no one hears their shouts. It's time to put an end to the madness.

20. Screenwriting Strategy - Coffee Shop Conversation Time Out, Case Study
August 30, 2013

The other day, I talked to someone at Starbucks who is writing a novel. He's a very successful novelist and screenplay writer. It was good to see him again, because I haven't seen him in a couple of months. I asked him when he came in, and he said he only came in intermittently with no particular schedule. Same as me, which is why perhaps we missed each other from time to time -- as we got to talking -- he explained to me that whenever he got stomped on a character he would go to Starbucks to people watch and try to find someone that matched his character, and then ask them questions to prompt...

22. A Natural Gemstone is a woman's pride
August 20, 2013

Novelist George Eliot once said “These gems have life in them: their colours speak, say what words fail of.” She was very right in her explanation of the gems. It is very true that a woman gets attracted to a gem because of its colour. The external appearance of a gem is so appealing that it can drive any one crazy. Gemstones are a woman’s pride. They bring out the sheer beauty and expose the true charm of a woman. Natural Gemstones as the name suggests are natural that is they are found in the lap of mother earth. They are polished and are embedded in jewellery by an expert gemstone cu... (read more)

25. Developmental Editing and the Novel Publisher
July 23, 2013

For a struggling novelist, one of the most depressing and difficult parts of the publishing process is submitting a finished work to editor and discovering it’s riddled with problems. For the professional book editor who receives these finished works, the process of going over the work and sending it back to the writer further lengthens the time spent on novel editing instead of selling the finished book. One way that the publishing industry could help streamline this process is by taking a tool from academia’s toolbox: developmental editing. Developmental editing is a process where a wri...
