The television season finales more often than not use the cliffhanger device to end their episodes. What I really don't appreciate about this method is not just having to wait approximately five months to have the messy issue resolved, although that's irritating enough, it's the inevitable near-death experience of a major character who's not leaving the…

    In the world of writing there are multiple items that can make us weary. There are just as many in the world of reading. We've talked about predictability, formulaic prose, weak or cardboard characters, the overuse of clichés, and the annoying total adherence to the "rules of writing".

  Prolific author Brandilyn Collins has opted to go the independent/self/custom publishing route at present, but you won't see any significant change in quality of writing or product in her choice.

                                      I didn't attend college for long. One year and one quarter, separated by a year of working and a trip to Europe. My favorite class was my playwriting class in which I pulled an A. Hallelujah! My teacher/professor assigned the writing of a play and then we had to read them out loud with…

  Reading fiction is a practice, a hobby, an enjoyment, a treasure for those of us who infuse stories into our bloodstreams.
