Habemus Papam! It has been an exciting few weeks with emotions ranging from sadness at Pope (Emeritus) Benedict retiring to the joyous election of Pope Francis. At his Sunday audience after the Angelus on March 17th, he ended his speech with “Don’t forget…remember this…the Lord will never tire of forgiving us, it is us who […]
A few weeks ago on Google+, I came across a comment that struck home with me. Someone had written (slightly paraphrased): Catholic blogs: so that one more person can comment on the Pope’s abdication and what Pope Benedict means to them. Please STAAAAAAAAHP! What made me +1 it was that I related. While I have […]
Novelists should always be willing (and eager) to improve their craft. Writing fiction is difficult and complex because of the many complicated aspects (narrative voice, writing style, imagery, plot lines, characterization, setting etc). Whether you’re a bestselling author or an aspiring novelist, one of the best ways to improve your writing is by reading well-written […]
Balance. A few days ago, Ellen Gable Hrkach posted a great blog on common errors to avoid in writing fiction. One item she mentioned got me to thinking, namely too much dialogue. What’s ‘too much’? A lot of times that depends on the genre you’re writing. Clearly, screenplays and graphic novels rely almost exclusively on […]
“The future starts today, not tomorrow.” Blessed John Paul II Every year, around this time, winter seems like it will go on forever and many wish for the warmer days of spring. This is much like the mother with a small baby who longs for her child to grow older so she may get more […]
Back in May 2006, I started my blog on a whim and a prayer. And over the years, as both my confidence and my numbers have grown, I’ve come to appreciate that, more than anything, it’s about the people. One of the relationships I’ve come to treasure in those years is the one that’s grown […]
Yes, I will keep blogging through Lent. Just like last year. And the year before. And the year before that. And…well, you see where this is going. And, just like last year, I think it’s worth bringing up here. Many people in the Catholic blogosphere give up blogging or other social media for Lent. Though […]
A good novel begins with a great story, a compelling plot, interesting characters. But it doesn’t end there. A good novel also needs to be well written. I’ve been editing other authors’ novels for two years and writing novels for ten years. What follows are the most common mistakes I see in fiction manuscripts and […]
I’m baaaaaaaaack! The break I took from blogging about blogging here was a lot longer than I intended, and it’s GOOD to be back, y’all. So today, let’s revisit the discussion of blogging. Your publisher, your editor, and your best friend–not to mention that guy who heard you’re a writer and knows all about it–are […]
Here in Canada, the longest month of the year is January, not only because it has 31 days, but because it’s usually snowy, cold and dreary for most of the month. It hasn’t exactly been dreary, but it has definitely been snowy. To date, we’ve had 83 cms of snow (just under three feet) with […]
