Levying Criticism #Writing #Author #Advice

by Unknown's avatar

So I’ve gotten this question a lot ever since I posted my piece of how to handle criticism. From people wondering how to write criticism without insulting the creator or their work. The best I can offer in the way of advice is to just be respectful, be constructive, and avoid hyperbole. For example: “This book sucks!” <This is not constructive. “I didn’t care for … Read More Levying Criticism #Writing #Author #Advice

Hi Jim, I saw that you give out writing advice and was hoping you could help me. See I’m taking my first shot at writing a political satire story, but am finding it increasingly difficult to write from the perspective of someone I don’t agree with.

Is Shadow in the Clouds the WORST WW2 Movie Ever? #Writing #Opinion #WW2 #Movies #Chloe Moretz #Rant Warning

by Unknown's avatar

I haven’t really done a movie reaction in a long time. Frankly, Hollywood hasn’t put out anything good in ages… with a few notable exceptions. Some of you may think I’m being hyperbolic in saying this. However, my wife and I recently saw this movie. I’d been dying to see it for a while because I’m a huge WW2 history buff and a horror … Read More Is Shadow in the Clouds the WORST WW2 Movie Ever? #Writing #Opinion #WW2 #Movies #Chloe Moretz #Rant Warning

Got a request to recommend a good ‘rock opera’ song. Really it doesn’t get any better than Avantasia and in particular this song!

When to listen:  I’ll give you a hint, skip to 9:19. Then picture your favorite Disney … Read More From My Writing Playlist #Writing #Author #Advice
