Writing For Someone You Know
(Thoughts on Stephen King’s ‘Ideal Reader’ Concept)
A slightly shorter post, this time, as I’m very busy with quite a few projects, some of which are writing and some of which aren’t. But I became inspired to write about a particular topic today - one which I believe everyone should keep in mind when writing, whether fiction or non-fiction, poetry or prose. |

Writing For Someone You Know
Ollie is just beginning his first year at university, studying English. He is an avid writer and critic of others' works, who strives to produce prose that others will remember as being different and unique. He has yet to publish his first novel, but has no intention of resting until long after that milestone is reached. He also likes talkative cats, playing the piano, and producing videos on a YouTube gaming channel he runs with his brother.

How to Exposit correctly
How to Exposit Correctly
(Avoiding Infodumps, 'As you know' and other informational pitfalls)
No, don’t be
scared. The title is referring to a writing technique, as much as it sounds
like a painful ablution. No, really. The purpose of this post is to take a look
at exposition, its value in storytelling, and the right and wrong ways to do
it (and yes, 'Exposit' really is a word. I looked it up).
Joel is a student in the second year of his A-levels, studying History, Classical Civilizations and Philosophy, so many are astonished when they find that he is a writer who doesn't study English. He enjoys writing (obviously), playing videogames and procrastination. He'll finish this introduction tomorrow.

Fluid Dialogue in Prose
(A post regarding the art of conversation)
They say that the art of conversation is a dying art form; most of the time, I'm inclined to agree. No one talks to each other anymore. Well, not verbally anyway. These days it's always IM this and SMS that; what happened to opening our pie holes and flapping our gums? It's rather upsetting to see that happen. Just as upsetting as it is to see little dialogue in books, especially fluid prose and stories. But, perhaps even worse than that is bad dialogue.

The Staircase In The Rubble

Let’s talk about writing.
Writing is difficult. It requires a huge amount of dedication, focus, commitment, patience and stubborn will. It’s the reason that there are far more wannabe writers than there are published authors. Somewhere along the line, we all realise that it just isn’t working.
