      "Self-Editing For Fiction Writers" by Renni Browne and Dave King (Book Review)
      I'm about to begin the next part of my journey into the world of writing. This next leg of the trip will be the tedious process of revisions and self-editing. Quite honestly, I'm looking forward to this next step. I've not looked at my manuscript since NaNoWriMo because the trip and the holidays, so I'm eager (in some ways at least) to look at it.

      Acne Fact and Fiction! Do Stress, Facials and Concealer's Help to Promote or Reduce Acne Breakouts?
      By: Stephen M. Seabrook What is Acne? People have differing opinions as to what acne really is. So, what exactly is acne? Do a couple of occasional but recurring zits qualify as a case of acne or do you have to have a lot of zits? Believe it or not, the answer is that occasional pimples or zits do not constitute a true case of acne. Although zits do seem to have the ability to appear almos

      Should Science Fiction Be Taught in Schools?
      I don't think the question should be whether it should be taught in schools, but whether there should be a larger variety of science fiction titles presented to students. Science fiction is already taught in most schools (at least in America). Some of the most popular science fiction stories taught in public high schools include 1984 by George Orwell, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Fahrenheit

      Fiction Writing: Present Tense Problems
      While I see shifts in this trend recently, with more books being written in first person than ever before, the majority of fiction books are written in third person, past tense. The reason for this is because it's an easy style to write in where omniscient POV or multiple POVs (points of view) can be used, giving the writer more flexibility while allowing the reader to 'see' more in the story.

      Tom Wolfe: Fiction today sucks
      Noted author Tom Wolfe, on the state of fiction in an interview with Time Magazine:"There's so little of it now that it's pathetic, and it's pathetic all over. Writers come from master of fine arts programs now. If you add up the college education of Steinbeck, Hemingway and Faulkner, you get to spring break of freshman year."Harsh. Do you agree?[Via Jacket Copy]

      Ideology and science fiction
      Lou Anders has an interesting post (found via SF Signal) on people’s enjoyment of books being affected by the religious or political views expressed in the book.  I can’t think of a book that I otherwise would have liked that I disliked because of its political, ideological, or religious content, though maybe that has more [...]

      Horror Film Fact Or Fiction - Part 1
      Throughout the years, there have been many horror films that proclaim they are "based on true events." Some actually are. Some aren't at all. Nearly all are very very loosely based on something that did really happen once upon a time. Some fans get very upset when we are lied to and told a film is based in reality, but it's actually not. Does it really matter? No, it doesn't. Proclaming suc

      Is flash fiction a joke?
      The thoughts we can understand are very little thoughts... – Jerome K. JeromeI don't write flash fiction. Okay, I've written two stories that you could call flash fiction and that's it. I even had one of them published so there. But their brevity was more a matter of circumstance than intent. I never sat down to consciously write a piece of flash fiction. I just said what I had to say and got of

      Delegation, art or fiction? – Tackle it Tuesday
      Several years ago, the freezer decided to live an independent existence from the integrated fridge above. It froze itself shut, never to allow the light of day to penetrate. At that time I had a number of more pressing concerns. Since we had more money than sense, we purchased a small freezer from Home Depot, parked in the garage and admitted defeat. Now several years later I commence a g

      Making Money Online - Is This Reality Or Just Plain Fiction?
      I am sure that I am not alone in wanting a better life, more money and more time to do the things that I enjoy.
