Centrality of black people in Toni Morrison works
-
Clint Eastwood makes a WWII movie with 100% white soldiers and it is barely a cinematic footnote that the movie's American army has no black people. Toni Morrison's imagination - and every Negro writer with a predominance of black characters - projects a world full of people who look like her and the question is "Why?"

Why? Because sister woman banked $95 million between June '12-June'13 for her Shades of Grey trilogy. Good Lawd! that's a lot of money...for relaying kinky S&M bondage and humiliation.
Ooooh makes my big toe curl!

Not a best-selling author but, goddamn, not a Yahoo writer either!

I may not be a best-selling author - now - or a journalist with binders full of clippings but, at least, I'm not a Yahoo writer!
If you have ever wasted non-refundable time reading a misleading headline that lured you to a shoddy, poorly constructed and severely biased article at the hands of a Yahoo byline, then you know of what I speak.
If you haven't, and feel, oh, experimental, then go browse through Yahoo News - even better, the gay ass sports section - and judge the stories' cohesion as they relate the printed facts and writers' bias. I have found the Comment section the best part of any Yahoo article; not because they are funny and sardonic but, also, more articulate. Unfortunately, merely clicking on the headline equates as a "read" so despite the pronounced fact that most readers reject the articles these hacks stay employed.

The importance of dismissing volunteers
-
At Lulu.com, the online publisher, there is a forum for volunteers to share their tips - page formatting, uploading steps, marketing, etc - with other users. But this has gone to the heads of some users. You know how full-time firemen tend to get annoyed by die-hard volunteer firemen?
Because I know they are not
Anywho, I don't principally write my travel stories (Don't Go To Canuckistan) for Romney's 47% anyway. Hello!

Those who can't, teach; and those who can't do that, diss & moanAbout a handful of these volunteer 'experts' presume themselves bona fide literary critiques because all they do is live online giving their two cents here and there to aspiring writers; and they do it online because real live people don't trouble themselves with them. It matters a great deal who compliments/criticizes you. And, so, when they started at me with toxic messages about my latest book (A Travelleer Other) I had to wonder who these people thought they were?
Because I know they are not
- bestselling authors or
- 'make-or-break' publishing houses or
- sought after editors or
- renown critics or
- even filthy rich writers

Began work on my next book
-
It was a wonderfully hot, hot sunny, sunny day in Germany BUT I stuck to the creative work mantra "seat of pants in seat of chair" and stayed hours in the city library working on my next book, a piece of travel writing based on my travel web log Don't Go To Canuckistan.
Sure, I was sorely tempted to go relax by the river in Frankfurt Am Main and just chill bare-chested under a tree snacking on soft pretzels; but - no! - discipline, discipline, discipline. Pleased to share that I pretty much completed the first draft! Productivity is a good feeling, ain't it. I'd like to have this complete from soup to nuts long before mid-fall...so I give myself three weeks to accomplish it. As concerns the deadline, the actual writing isn't what worries me at all; rather it's the damn formatting technicalities of self-publication.

The red flags of writing contests
-
Writers have a love-hate relationship with contests. Some people adore them, eager to submit regularly, and others back away, fearful of potential scams.

My memoir is better than his
-
As this Penn State U. boy scandal unfolds, the dry turd is going to smell fresher and fresher. I just learned the title of Jerry Sandusky's memoir is, get this, "Touched" (2000).
Damn, and I thought my book's title was self-explanatory!
