You said that you wanted the character to be as close to the historical person as humanly … Read More The Hurdles of Creating Characters from People of History

Hi Jim, I’m actually in the process of writing a novel, but I’m having a hard time getting the characters together.

I’d wanted to see a movie concert series for a while now. Out by me, unfortunately, they’re apparently very popular. Star Wars sold out in seconds, and they haven’t done a Lord of the Rings one yet. I will be all over that if they decide to. My wife was able to get her hands on tickets to see Harry Potter and the … Read More Harry Potter Concert Series, Honest Review

So this isn’t going to be one of my typical Q&A posts. I’ll get back to those later. This is likely about to be little more than an editorial rant, if anything. Let’s get started… So I just finished playing Mass Effect 3. … and already half of my readers probably know what this is going to be about. I love the series. … Read More All Build Up, No Payoff: The Problem with Open Endings
