Writing About Writing

Since I've retired from teaching classroom English I've devoted full time to writing, and I'm getting better at developing my craft. There are lots of things to learn about getting a book, magazine article, or short story published. As of late May 2007, I've published one original e-book, and you can view it at:



What you read at that site won't be identified to my name. I sold the copyright to the articles I wrote to my paying employer. My version is not on his sight with my name, by copyright agreement and mutual consent. His exact version isn't on my site, so I can share some fashion and beauty tips in these articles with you. Most articles here are about writing--the process, the problems, and how I try to get to the final period on the final page.

Included in this folder are good things and bad things about being immersed in writing, some short cuts I've discovered, and habits to I hope to make and break. Also discover my bad experiences with outside poetry contests and vanity publishing companies. Lessons learned the hard and expensive way/.

Comments and critiques always welcome.
