Phooey on the Grammar Nit-Pickers

Hemingway, Joyce, Virginia Woolf and many more real writers are guilty of bad grammar, poor sentence construction, creative punctuation and worse. At this point, your typical grammar Nazi will jump in and remind us that we are not Hemingway and probably will add that one needs to know the rules before one can break them.

Monetizing Books and Novels on the Web

Fiction has no money in it. Well, that may be an excessively harsh indictment: the Wikipedia article on web fiction indicates that some have success in this venue, but, in general, making money from web fiction is seen as a hard road indeed.

Do you have Writers Block or Life Block?\ title=65

Do you have Writers Block or Life Block?

A typical bit of advice is to go research a subject you know nothing about and write about that. Your fresh view of the subject matter can highlight things a jaded expert might ignore and detailing your confusions and mistaken impressions while they are still fresh in your mind can be very valuable. However, there is something lurking beneath that I forgot to mention. It was Mark's "I didn’t actually do anything useful today" comment that reminded me of it.

But I repeat myself

The other day I was giving some advice to an old friend and mentioned using E-junkie to handle inventory sales. After I hung up, I thought "I should write something up about E-junkie". Well, duh, I already have. Worse, I had written something similar sometime prior to that at my main website. It seems that writing about E-junkie is an easily forgettable experience.
