		<description><![CDATA[Music is arguably the purest art form. It's a breathing of the soul, a perfect embodiment of emotion, a story without words. For the most part, we lowly writers can barely hope to tell as complete a story in 300 pages as can be found in almost any collection of musical notes. If you’re a composer or a musician, God bless you. You’re sharing a little bit of magic in everything you do. If, on the other hand, you’re like me and your only musical accomplishment is playing the radio, your best hope of sharing some of music's clarity and emotional depth is to tap into it as a springboard for your writing. ]]></description>

Whether you love it or find it snooze-inducing, Jane Austen's host of comedic characters just might hold some insight into the writing life–insight from which we can all stand to learn. Have you stopped to consider what each of the following characters might tell you about writing?]]></description>

It could be withholding complete truth, glossing over little details, exaggerating, or simply being in denial. Whatever the case, there are plenty of times in life when we’re not honest with ourselves. For some reason, we writers tend to be very good at telling ourselves lies.
Are you guilty of convincing yourself of these misconceptions and half-truths?]]></description>

There are many elements you need to consider before you can be assured of its strength and readability. Maybe you have some great ideas, but you're having trouble working them into the correct story structure.
An easy way to know you’re on the right track is simply to get sneaky: Steal someone else's ideas. ]]></description>

I keep writing scraps everywhere, from electronic files to tiny notebooks and wrinkled sticky notes. When I need new ideas for my personal writing, I'll rifle through old drafts, seeking that one snippet that can inspire a new blog post or essay. A former co-worker loved to tease me about my "vintage" email, but I frequently used old messages to find new ideas.
It can work with clients, too.]]></description>

While there are hundreds of classic books I still want to read, I made a commitment to myself to read more widely and include commercial fiction. The reason I did this was not because I thought I would enjoy it any better, but because we can all stand to learn by studying different types of writing and what they have to offer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I go to the library to find new reading material, the first thing I do is read the opening paragraph and skim through the first few pages of each selection.  If I don't like what I see, the book goes back on the shelf. Imagine literary agents and editors doing the same thing when they read your manuscript. If the first pages are no good, they’ll likely believe the rest of the book is more of the same (even if you think it gets better as it goes on).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some of the most powerful stories in literature and cinema have a surprising common element: The death of a main character. At first glance, this would seem to be an instant turnoff. Why hang with a character for 300+ pages only to watch him get knocked off in the end? But the truth is, when handled properly, the death of a character can add untold power and pathos to a tale. It can lift your story from ordinary to extraordinary.  The death of a popular character has caused more than one book to be hurled across the living room. So when you find your story demands you kill a prominent character, how do you tap into the power and pathos without infuriating your readers? After analyzing a number of books and movies in which the main characters bit the dust, I discovered three keys to playing the assassin and living to tell another tale. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is there such a thing as the perfect novel? And, if so, how does one go about writing it?

Once we’ve thought about it, I think most of us would agree that that the answer to the first question is an indisputable no. Perfection in art is unequivocally subjective. What one reader hails as perfection, another will throw across the room in disgust. As readers, our preferred reading experiences span the gamut from cuddly, reaffirming romances to gritty, life-challenging noir. And that’s awesome. A world without variety would leave us authors with very little of interest to write about. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a writer, it’s easy to become accustomed to peeking into random characters’ minds. One of the thrills of writing stems from the ability we authors have to be “all-knowing” within the scope of our story worlds. Unlike real life, where we sometimes (make that often) struggle to understand the opinions, emotions, and needs of those around us, in writing we have the power to understand everything. I know why my characters react in sometimes unexpected and seemingly irrational ways. I know their histories, and I know their futures. I never have to wonder why they think or act; I just know. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Arguably the most important rule of fiction is the age-old Show, don’t tell! Sounds simple, right? And yet many inexperienced (and some not-so-inexperienced) writers struggle with this foundational principle. After all, isn’t all of writing telling? Every word we write is for the express purpose of telling the reader what he’s supposed to imagine. Right?

The simple answer is yes. The not-so-simple answer is yes and no. Personally, I’ve always thought that the “show-and-tell” aphorism was a poor statement, simply because, for a writer, showing and telling both amount to the same thing: explaining a story to the readers.

So what’s the difference? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Art has to bear up under the strange dichotomy of both following set patterns and breaking those patterns. Writing is certainly no different.

The so-called Rules of writing are what make stories work. And, probably more importantly, they’re what get authors published. Readers and publishers alike expect stories to follow certain parameters. Authors are supposed to maintain consistent POVs, follow traditional story arcs, and play fair with foreshadowing and revelation. When authors violate these (and myriad other) “rules,” they risk angering the two most important people in their professional lives—the publisher who pays them and the reading public who ensure that they continue to be paid. ]]></description>

Understanding how to operate that dam is one of the most important tasks an author has to learn. Without this skill, we end up writing stories that variously lack momentum, feel uneven, become anticlimactic, and seem melodramatic. Following are five tips for taking this important plot skill beyond instinct to conscious action:]]></description>
