Writer's Whirlpool

The opposite of writer's block but with the same result....As I sit here in front of my laptop, Opeth vibrating my eardrum like the pulsating of a speaker, I stare, my expression blank....numb. I can't quiet my brain long enough to extract one single idea. Too many are floating around, bumping into each other, flipping one another off. Have you ever heard an idea yell at another one? Not pretty. Such language!It's like a freeway on ramp during rush hour near a mall during December...late…See More

CHARACTERS

No matter what genre your fiction falls into, we all have one thing in common, we have to populate our work with people.  This group is for discussing those characters who add life to our novels.

Can the Title of a song be copyrighted?

Ok. So I was listening to a song by Dio and it gave me a book idea. My idea is very different from the song, but I LOVE the name of the song. Would I be able to use the title to the song/album as the title of the book or would I need to change the title?

Published Short Story

I'm so excited. Another of my shorts have been published. This one was just published this last Sunday in Schlock Magazine. And it's a featured story! My first short story will be published in April 2012... The magazine is an online one and it's a free publication. I hope you check it out. :) http://www.schlock.co.uk/See More

"Personally...I feel the term "horror" is subjective. I LOVE horror but not a lot scares me. One thing that does scare me is submitting a work of horror to a horror magazine or agent. What if it doesn't scare them? Have I failed? I…"
