Facebook giraffe SPOILER, being yourself and Halloween
Happy Halloween, hookers. Two completely unrelated things for you on this fine Pagan – or Celtic – holiday, depending on your belief. First, this giraffe shit on Facebook is not cute or funny. SPOILER ALERT: Don’t get it? Good. I like you already. Second, and this is so unfuckingbelievable I almost can’t stand to say […]
The Importance of Delusions: The Four That All Writers Need
A guest post by Scott D. Southard When I was a child, I never had just one imaginary friend. I couldn’t limit myself to one. And when I did seek them out, I would steal them left and right from books. In the end, I had something more akin to a kingdom in my head. […]
Fight Club Syndrome – When Writing a Book Blows Up Your World

A guest post by Scott D. Southard I dream the same dream as thousands of other people. Yes, I am one of thousands (probably a lot more) and we are all part of the same collective consciousness, wired into the same hopes of finding writing success. And while we all know in our hearts there […]
Write the Way You Want to Write
A guest post by Douglas R WHY do we live, behave and even make art as though we shouldn’t be ourselves? I saw a tweet recently, “4 Tips to Write like Nicholas Sparks.” But YOU are supposed to write like YOU. If there’s one dogma I have, it’s this: Nobody invented creativity. You can mold […]
Writers, why does everything need to be a series?
A guest post by Scott D. Southard Like a seed, a book idea begins small. So very small. Maybe it is a flash of an image, or maybe it is a question that needs to be answered. Whatever the case, it grows and grows until finally a novel emerges fully grown. Yes, I consider writing […]
