163. Punctuation Check-Up The Doctor Will See You Now
November 27, 2012
Terminal Punctuation Disease It's a real problem. But fortunately, there's help. No, you won't find it in an online pharmacy, and you don't have to cross the border. Just sit back and pay attention. Ending, or terminal, punctuation marks always go inside quotation marks. For example: "John said h...

164. No Berets, Please
November 27, 2012
Reality Check In my sixty years I have read and known many poets. Many love to give that aura of an otherworldly soul, above the mundane, jaunty beret, scribbling in dark coffee bars. They need the mystique of the tortured soul and the holy grail of their words. At my house the old poet sits at a ...

165. How To Cultivate Greatness In Your Writing
November 26, 2012
There's a television commercial, I believe it's for E-trade, that talks about how nobody wants to be an ordinary...fill in the blank. Supposedly we aspire to be better.

166. Your Writer's Voice Is Inside You
November 22, 2012
Why do you write? I write to change my world by revising and giving it a happy ending. I think most write fiction to create new realities and new ways of expressing ourselves.

168. Online Writing - That Should Not Be!
November 20, 2012
Cue the minor-key pipe organ! Call up those webpages! Put the 'appalled gasp' sound effect on standby! The Blue Ferret has gone mad...MAD, I tell you! Well, okay, just peeved.

169. What Is Your Point
November 18, 2012
What is your point? What do you do if you don't know? Why does it matter? It is important for every writer to know their point because the writer is in charge of the reader's experience. If the writer doesn't know the point then the reader surely won't. That means at best a writer without a point w...

170. A Writer's Life Getting Yourself Unstuck
November 17, 2012
Years ago, in a "Writer's Digest" article the famous novelist James Michener was quoted as saying most people don't want to be writers, they want to "have been" writers.
