		<description><![CDATA[The author, vice president of the Poynter Institute School of Journalism, wants you to understand that a tool isn't the same thing as a rule. A tool is something designed to help you, not constrict you. The 50 tools discussed here take writers through the process of storytelling in prose, from the basic (construct a sentence with a subject and a verb) to the advanced (make your characters archetypes, not stereotypes).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Short and snappy as it is, Stephen King's On Writing really contains two books: a fondly sardonic autobiography and a tough-love lesson for aspiring novelists. The memoir is terrific stuff, a vivid description of how a writer grew out of a misbehaving kid. You're right there with the young author as he's tormented by poison ivy, gas-passing babysitters, uptight schoolmarms, and a laundry job nastier than Jack London's. It's a ripping yarn that casts a sharp light on his fiction. This was a child who dug Yvette Vickers from Attack of the Giant Leeches, not Sandra Dee. "I wanted monsters that ate whole cities, radioactive corpses that came out of the ocean and ate surfers, and girls in black bras who looked like trailer trash."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ironically, many of the rules of good blogging apply to this article and the first is: Blog often. If you're a serious blogger you are likely posting daily, if you're not, then you probably don't have much to say. If you want to get your blog noticed, you need to be blogging daily. Why? Because it'll not only help you look massively articulate, but it'll really help with your traffic and search ranking, and let's face it: If no one is finding you, how do you expect a publisher to discover your work?]]></description>

Add to this situation a mere hundred-thousand-plus competitors of whom most damage the product's reputation with their amateurish marketing campaigns. And by the way, your annual marketing budget cannot exceed a few hundred Dollars.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I do number my seizures. When, according to established industry standards, you are diagnosed as an aspiring, but most likely untalented writer, you either have seizures, or, due to absence of effective medication, you fall back into religion. I, personally, chose seizures, because my God told me not to have other gods besides him. The other god would have been myself, but we’ll get to that later (see Seizure #366).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today’s writing and publishing world is shrugging off the old “exclusive-club” mentality, but it is, by any means, not a friendly place for an aspiring writer. As a matter of fact, the industry has turned into a shark tank. When I refer to “the industry” I mean, among other businesses, the traditional publishers, most of who are struggling these days, but they are not the actual problem. The “shark tank” is dominated by new startups in the industry, mostly vanity publishers, who produce significant profit without delivering the results they promise. It seems that scammers possess a much keener business sense than the traditional publishing businesses, and they are taking the better part of a multi-million Dollar business.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In another entry on this blog I couldn't find anything good about literary agents and their apparent lack of business sense. At the same time I was very impressed by the business model and the professional attitude of the Writers Literary Agency. Rather than dealing with a single, overworked and unorganized literary agent (agents always complain about the number of queries they receive), I found it refreshing to deal with a team of professionals where each member took on a certain aspect in the process of finding a publisher. However, with what I learned today, I am happy I didn't sign the contract they had sent me. As it turns out the whole thing is a scam.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of us aspiring writers sign up for Online forums, either to pitch new ideas and wait for feedback, or to ask for advice, but foremost to "build a platform." "Building a platform" is based on a very basic principle: If nobody knows you, nobody will buy your books.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just received the latest issue of my favorite most useless magazine, Writer's Digest. Why I still receive it, I don't know; I don't keep track when my subscription ends, and it will hopefully end some time soon. It took me an annoying five minutes to page through the magazine to find there was nothing in there that would even remotely interest me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My version of writer's block comes in form of not having worked on my second novel for several weeks. I spent some useless time on writers' forums, and even tried to make some money through my blog. To put the result up-front, forums are a terrible waste of time, and I made $15 in two weeks by writing one lousy article on my blog. On the other hand, my novel American Male Prostitute is about making a career as a writer, and I will take the liberty of adding my experiences to the story of the main character, Stuart Berry.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I felt, I should be writing an update on my novel American Male Prostitute. I am still in Germany (see also my blog entry The Lonely Cold Hotel Room), and traveling here, plus the preparation, took all my attention away from writing. I am finally in the right mind set, and whenever I have time to write I make good progress, usually between 2,000 to 3,000 words per writing session.]]></description>
