For Writers

I've conducted a few writing workshops since getting published, and wanted to post them here:

"Nobody Talks Like That: Writing Believable Dialogue"

"The Brute Force & Ignorance Approach: Writing When You Have No Plan, No Plot, and Even No Point"

"They Are Walking All Over Me: What to Do When Your Characters Misbehave"

"But I Know I Said That in Chapter Three: Keeping Track of Plot, Characters, and Clues"


On a more fundamental note, I also posted a slide show on "Writing the Basic Essay".

I converted the slide shows to MS Word and added some comments; please be patient when scrolling, as the slides sometime take a moment to appear.
