Finding the Right Mood
It’s midnight before Easter as I write this. That’s probably cheating for a blog due on Monday but, unfortunately, the days all run together and if I hadn’t had this on my calendar, I would have completely forgotten I had it coming due.

Point of View – It’s Not Just A Camera Lens

Feel free to point out the errors of my ways. This month and next, I’m tackling one of the hardest concepts for new writers to grasp – Point of View. I’ve heard POV described [...]
What if….
What if? As a preteen I used to play the “what if” game. What if our homeroom teacher hadn’t made us sit in alphabetical order?
