The Blog

I dount it's a 2020 release in the theaters It looks brilliant though. I sawn the old versions and the one that was on TV so many years ago. It was boring and dull, kind of like Star Wars esp 3 with all the politics (which could have been cut and no one would have noticed). Whoops. Haters are coming. I said a negative thing about #STARWARS.

I just watched this on Facebook, and it gets better the longer you watch. Hand clapping, knee slapping fun. For your pleasure, I have embedded it below.  Massive crack-up.

  Sweating blood over the outline? writing an outline Outlines. Are they good, bad, needed or not required. Outlines. Are they good, bad, needed or not required. I have heard authors claim not to use one, while I’ve heard that other writers can’t write a book without an outline first. Where do I stand in all of this? Well, right bang in the middle from starting my latest book, Darkness. I am new to outlining. I admit that I don’t know a whole lot about the process, I searched the web for hours trying to finding something that would work for me to no avail (not everything works for everyone), so in this article I’d like to give you a run down on what I do and some places to find good info on outlines. Hopefully these words will give you an idea on how to write them or give you an idea on making your own style. Until recently, I never wrote an outline. I just turned on the computer, opened MS Word and away I went, typing like a madman on most occasions and on others swearing at the compu

 For a laugh I used a plot generator and it gave me this. With a bit of work, I could actually write this, with some changes of course.  The Mangled Fingers A Crime Thriller by Lee Pletzers Mangled fingers have been turning up all over Japan and the inhabitants are scared. Ten murders in ten weeks, all committed with a gun, and still nobody has a clue who the sinister killer is. James Arron Ray is a beautiful and delightful police officer with a fondness for books. He doesn't know it yet but he is the only one who can stop the callous killer. When his girlfriend, Arisa Nishikawa, is kidnapped, James Ray finds himself thrown into the centre of the investigation. His only clue is a warped banana. He enlists the help of a helpful psychiatrist called Saxton Middleton. Can Middleton help Ray overcome his pain addiction and find the answers before the tactless killer and his deadly gun strike again? Auto Praise for The Mangled Fingers "James Ray is the best detective ever. A passion

They say writers need them or should use them. I've been using various forms of writing software since 2007. Before that I used MS Word. Wrote three novels and sold 50 short stories with just the word processor.  Times change. Now I use Scrivener and pretty much nothing else. Tho, I am old version. My old MacAir can't handle more then 2 GB memory. Can't upgrade. Stingy Apple. I still use it for writing. But, I am growing tired of old version of Scrivener and I have been looking around for other stuff.  (Image: Pexels.com Free stock images) I'll post my fav, a little later. First let's look at some software.  Technology changes at a fast pace--or is the updates at a fast pace? Either way, I've found some cool new ways to write, especially on the go.  The software I'll list is stuff I have used or purchased. No links. Sorry. If interested just highlight the software and right click search for... Works a charm. I could be like those Internet blogs that have aff

As a gym rat, I stumbled on this and thought I'd share:

It all starts with an idea and they come at any time of any day and you can’t control it. You have no say in the matter, really. For me, ideas just pop into my head, as if my muse was chewing her pencil and a crack appeared in the  fabric  of space and time. From that crack, a slice of thought slipped out and my muse caught it. A lot of people believe ideas are the product of the universe and some people (Dean Koontz?) can just grab them when they need. But adhering to this belief, one must assume thousands of other people also received the very same thought. Writers would plot around it; poets would create  beauty  from it; hundreds would do nothing with it. This is called the initial idea and it is the start of whatever you want to make of it. My initial idea is to write a series of articles based on  writing  / learning the art of screenwriting. It is an area that interests me and has done for years. Only now do I have the opportunity to attempt it.  Screenwriters make 200,000 smack
