What's truly fantastic is when your character, the one that is so different from yourself, starts talking to you in your head. That's when "voice" gets in your work. That's when your characters start to pop off the page. That's when you can't stop writing. --Kidd

I write about dragons. So, no I never write about what I don't know. I breath fire all the time. Big, Magical, Eats people for breakfast . . . Yup, now you know why I have flames for my avatar. --Kidd

Good thing I don't consider myself an artist. Wow, I couldn't gotten my feelings hurt. Boo Hoo. --Kidd

Cold, bro. Really cold. --Kidd

Okay, here's my second suggestion. Join a local writer's group. Be a part of a community, one with people you can see and laugh with. Get synergy going for you. This REALLY helped me. --Kidd

Better?

No special powers needed. Just gotta have a dragon. A five-hundred foot long dragon, that breathes fire, with skin impervious to sword or trebuchet. --Kidd

Yes, yes, please review The Death of Magic. I need someone, anyone, to please read my book! --Kidd

What about light and dark as order and chaos. Order allows us to organize our thoughts, categorize things and ideas so that they are easily understood, but it also constrains. We chaff under order. (My great aunt felt that dessert should be eaten at the beginning of a meal. She hated the 'rule'...

I once knew a young Ph.D. + MD student, meaning that she was simultaneously getting both an MD and a Ph.D., I believe the PH.D. was in pharmacology. She was incredibly intelligent. Perhaps the degree to which she was truly a genius might be even more apparent to you when I tell you that she was...

Why are you assuming that I’m hallucinating? —Kidd

Ut oh. The dragon showed up. This may be the end.

I woke up this morning and the characters from my book -- WERE IN MY ROOM! And get this. . .even the characters that have died. I mean come on, I've not only got characters in my room, I've got the ghosts of characters in my room. The boiler's out and its 52 in here. I know that because I turned...

I do so wish I could read Tarty Fart vs The Giant Mutant Ice Cream Cones. I so agree with you. The more I write, the more I can't take TV. Really? Do they think life works like that?

Hmmm. . . A poll. Here or in the story?

Thanks one and all. I think I will switch to #1. It depicts best the scale of my MC's fight. This isn't a small dragon. Everyone universally hates the title. It wasn't my first choice. My first choice was: To Kill a Dragon. But another book already had that title. Bummers. Thanks again...

Hi Writer Friends, Honestly, I wanted to take your suggestions but I can't draw, so I'm limited to images I can find and manipulate. The two on the left are new, the far right cover is the original. I axed the anime girl with fireworks. I just didn't like it. Please vote --Kidd

I like your suggestions, although of course there should be a cookie somewhere. . .always a cookie. Who wants to read a story without cookies? Chocolate chip, lemon bars. . .alright But here's the thing. I'm not an artist. Can you suggest a program that would greatly aid me. I've heard...

Hi, I wanted you to know that I have tried to address your concerns and have modified the first chapter. Still having a bit of a problem hoping back and forth between inside and out. Working on it. Thanks again for the help. --Kidd

I like the left one, too. But very few people are viewing my first Chapter. If I had a lot of views of Chapter 1 (or the Prologue), but no views of Chapter 2, I'd say the novel needed a rewrite. But frankly, I can't get anyone to view Chapter 1.
