One solution might be to set your story in another time and place. The character types may be the same, but there's less chance crotchety old Uncle Mortimer will recognize himself if he's a knight's lackey.
Personally, I've never modeled any of m...
Thanks! I'll have to check this one out.

I write down snippets on napkins, scrap paper, whatever I have on hand. For those pesky muses who talk a little and then hush up, I have a big fat virtual work in process folder. I imagine one day I will get in there and finish all those ideas, bu...
Thank you very much for Sharing this & I shall pass it on to Many Poet friends of mine!

I wanted to share a link with you that I have found so useful. In my 24 years of writing poetry, I have never seen this or even been taught this.
Sheri
Thank you so much! What you said made so much sense and it really did open my eyes to see how I could write so the people I was worried of hurting could be used and yet made to look totally different. I NEVER thought of using that approach. You ar...
Well said, Sheri! Thanks for the reminder!

One of the advantages of working with fiction is that you have no obligation to speak nothing but the truth. In fact, when you decide to write "fact-based-fiction", you're using the real-life instances as a framework and catalyst rather than an ou...

That is exactly what the blog is about Karen...not wasting time, but enjoying it because it is fleeting.
What a most ineteresting picture! I laughed at it, thought it kind of gross and very, very strange. Would be good used in a parody of a sci-fi movie! lol

- Thanks for commenting on my page. I've always envied anyone who can write poetry. I'd love to but any time I try it stinks.

- Thanks. I'll look around. I have a title for my book, but it is more of a biography. Everybody always said I should write my life story because of all that I've been through and yet maintain a positive attitude. I can't tell you all the places that is written, but it is there and others who hear my testimony say the same thing. I guess it's just a matter of sitting down, writing, and putting it together afterwards.

Life is full of many things: trials, successes, victories, failures, errors, sadness, weakness, happiness, strength and so on. To be truthful, the list could go on as far as each person's imagination. But what do all these things add up to? What do they mean?

Never Put Off Until Tomorrow
Know the true value of time; snatch, seize and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness...never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
- Lord Chesterfield
I often wondered where this quote came from. I don't know who Lord Chesterfield was, but I will find out later, but he was very wise. Time is a privilege. We never know how much...or how little...of it we have left. Only our Creator knows the day and the hour of our death.
I heard it once said to not kill or waste time because once that t… Continue
