Omniscient POV—PART 1 (What it is and what it isn’t)

by Write Well, Write To Sell on October 29th, 2018 at 9:17 PM
Posted In: Basics of writing, Point of view

From Rick: A lot of confusion exists among new writers regarding omniscient POV (called “omni-POV” hereafter). If you research the topic on the Internet, you’ll find a lot of agreement as to what it is, but you’ll also find differences of opinion, mainly from those who don’t truly understand it. You’ll also discover why it’s […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Posted In: Basics of writing, Novel writing

From Rick: We’ve all heard the term “writer’s block” to mean being unable to write. It usually ranges from not being able to come up with any ideas at all to not being able to move forward on a particular piece. Some say that there is no such thing as writer’s block, but what is […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

POV choice and narrative voice

by Write Well, Write To Sell on October 9th, 2018 at 8:53 PM
Posted In: Point of view

From Rick: For a while now I’ve been promising to write a series of posts about omniscient point of view. The reason I’ve delayed is that I simply haven’t had the time to write articles that will do justice to the topic. Although my time is still at a premium, it’s too important a topic […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Thoughts on KDP Print replacing CreateSpace

Posted In: Self-Publishing

From Rick: I apologize for not having a blog post last week. Simple answer: too much to do, not enough time. I also will not have a post next week for the same reason (and because I’ll be out of town). I’m trying to catch up, even get ahead. Hopefully by year’s end I’ll be […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Dealing with story details and description—Part 1

by Write Well, Write To Sell on September 10th, 2018 at 8:53 PM
Posted In: Basics of writing, Description, Novel writing, Story Details

From Rick: From time to time the question arises from writers about how much detail and description to add to a story and how and when to insert it. This important topic is going to take at least two posts to do it even minimal justice. When it comes to handling details and description in […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Ignorance and stupidity

by Write Well, Write To Sell on September 3rd, 2018 at 9:36 PM
Posted In: General

From Rick: A few posts back, I did one called “Greed” wherein I pointed you to the bit of amusement called “cockygate.” Here’s an update on how it all turned out, and you’ll see that the author who started it all came to realize that had she thought about and researched what she was trying […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Novel openings revisited

by Write Well, Write To Sell on August 28th, 2018 at 10:37 PM
Posted In: Basics of writing, Openings

From Rick: I’ve talked many times about the importance of your opening. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a novel or a short story. In today’s world where instant gratification seems to be more the rule of the day, if you don’t hook your readers right away, you risk losing readers before they’ve gotten very far.

by Write Well, Write To Sell on August 20th, 2018 at 6:03 PM
Posted In: Basics of writing, How to write a story

From Rick: In Part 1, I gave you some reference articles to read regarding various story structures. Before I get started, I want to make a couple of comments: (1) I do not use any of these methods directly when crafting a novel. (2) You don’t have to either. Why did I have you read […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Story structure models–PART 1

by Write Well, Write To Sell on August 13th, 2018 at 8:44 PM
Posted In: Basics of writing, How to write a story

From Rick: As promised last time, I’m going to be discussing story structure, and I will be doing it in two parts. If you didn’t read last week’s post, you probably should do so first. In this part, I’m simply going to refer you to four good articles on story structure and plotting. Yes, I’m […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Some thoughts on outlining

by Write Well, Write To Sell on August 6th, 2018 at 9:07 PM
Posted In: Novel writing

From Rick: When it comes to writing, there are two basic approaches one can take: outlining, and writing by the seat of your pants, often called “pantsing.” I’ve written both ways, and I have known other writers who have done so. What prompted this post is the following article that makes some good points, but […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
