Harlan Ellison Says Writers Should Be Paid…But Not Always With Money
I just caught a documentary about Harlan Ellison on Amazon Prime. Called, "Dreams with Sharp Teeth," this is one of the best in-depth looks at this amazing writer's career, with some great interviews with him, as well as Neil Gaiman, and other writers, plus...
Sometimes You Do Get A Check, And Sometimes You Don’t Know Why
Freelance writers usually know when their payments are coming in, spend an inordinate amount of time chasing those that are supposed to come in, and worry insistently about trying to get them to come in. Although I am terrible with anything that has to...
Sex Writing: When Does The Rewriting Stop?
Although Hemingway is quoted as having said: “The only kind of writing is rewriting,” there does come a time when you need to say enough, push yourself away from the Smith-Corona and declare the thing done. Surely, very few of us (even Papa H....

I just hit a “Centenary Superhero” milestone with Grammarly (don’t worry, I didn’t know what it was either). In using the basic grammar program, which I do indeed recommend, I get reports on my writing from the company all the time. In addition to...
To journal or not to journal? What’s Your Preference?
Here we fall onto another one of those areas I can’t rightly advise you on from any true personal experience. I don’t journal. I don’t on a plane. In the rain. In a house with a mouse. I just don’t.
Do you? Have you never...
Naughty Memoirs; Erring On The Side Of Discretion
The subject I am tackling in this installment can add up to quite the sticky wicket when it comes to erotic writing (and God knows, not everybody likes their wicket all that sticky). In one's naughty scribbling, especially in the adult fiction one creates,...
How Do You Create Naughty Characters?
My answer to the question I asked in the title here is simple: damned if I know! The people who come to populate my fiction, plays, poems and lyrics, be they naughty men, women, robots or alien lifeforms (or not) are as much amalgamations...
