Creative writers know that every climactic scene is emphasized by the conflict within it. The conflict can be anything that creates tension, anxiety, uncertainty, incompatibility, or opposing forces. It can be an argument, a scene of abuse, a rapist resisting the urge, two sisters fighting over a boy, or a man in a sailboat trying […]

We creative writers are an odd bunch. Sometimes we can write. Sometimes we can’t. Sometimes we need inspiration. Sometimes we don’t. Sometimes we really feel like a writer. Other times we feel like we’re only playing at writing.
For all the wannabe writers out there, you need to know that if you can sit down and […]

Grandma Annie, who often took me shopping in preschool and grammar school days, on two occasions took me on foot to the nearby synagogue for Friday night services, called in Yiddish shool. My impression was that she attended frequently and was the only one in my family who could be considered religious. I recall at […]

When I arrived at Pioneer Hall, our quarters for the University of Minnesota year, it was the day before Christmas and no one in charge was around. I went into the cafeteria for dinner, which after basic training chow looked like a banquet—turkey and all the trimmings. There was only one other arrival. I took […]

When the day came for registering me for the neighborhood kindergarten, my mom walked me the five short blocks to Stockton School and decided I could manage the walk on my own most of the time. The teachers registered two classes, one morning, the other afternoon. The younger children were put into the “slower” afternoon […]

I, an only child, was brought to life October 28, 1925, by my mom, Ceil Kay. No one in my family had ever even thought about a career in technology or, for that matter, math or science. What headed me that way? I was exposed to the technology of the day with little understanding of […]

Over the past several days I’ve fielded a number of calls from authors frustrated with their progress. “Nothing is happening,” “Am I doing this right?” and “My book isn’t selling” are some of the biggest complaints I hear when authors are marketing on their own.

Every story and every article has a “voice”. What do we mean by voice? It is the angle from which your story is viewed. No one point of view (POV) is right or wrong.
* First person point of view pronouns are: I, me, my, mine, and we. New authors usually write in first person because […]
