- Method Writers:How far will they go?
- Death of an InspirationBeing a journalist, the death of Mike Wallace was a significant loss in my world. Of course, Mike Wallace being who he was, he had a significant impact on the ENTIRE world, for most of his 60 years in the business. But one day earlier, in a small town, another gifted man died. The “Painter [...]

- A New LifeI slip around the hallway corner into another long corridor. She reaches out her left hand to a doorknob, and in my mind, I freeze every detail about her humanly possible. I marvel at her beauty. To list her attributes would require endless description. Far simpler to note her flaws, which in essence, only support [...]
- Hooking the WormMy father has been in town this week. He arrived alone, without his baggage or other personal belongings, though he brought clothes and his fishing pole. This is a first for him, to stay this long and be this….available. He is not rushed or distracted which makes this visit, this very unexpected visit, alarming. He’s [...]
- Pinch Hitter, Part 7(Click here for Part 6 of Pinch Hitter): My flashlight doesn’t have far to travel. On the floor propped against the bed, the man I’ve been surveilling sits with his legs splayed. His head is slumped down and his hands are pressing against his stomach, trying to keep his guts from spilling out and onto [...]
- The Waiting RiverThe strangest sensation wafted over my body the other day. I was driving on a road that I have driven down for years. I know every curve and dip in the cement and where I can accelerate to gain the most speed. If I had to, I might be able to drive it blind. At [...]
- Pinch Hitter, Part 6(Click here for Part 5 of Pinch Hitter): As usual, nobody came to pay Eddie Snead a visit at his house tonight. The little bastard stayed up late and I was beginning to worry that he was a tweaker; never sleeping, wired, unpredictable, and potentially violent. Which could also account for the bones in Herman’s [...]
- Word PlayMy daughter came up to me yesterday with a mouthful of food. She cupped her right hand under her chin as if she were going to spit something out. Was she choking? Was what she ate too hot? Turns out it was neither. She was laughing and didn’t want the contents of her mouth spilling [...]
- The High Cost of WritingWow! I really hope you’re following Pinch Hitter! I had Sirius radio in my Ford for a while and they played radio programs like, The Shadow, The Phantom, and even Superman. I started scheduling my late story nights so I was driving and could listen to the next episode. Now, I have Kenny Black!!! Can’t wait until next [...]
- Pinch Hitter, Part 5(Click here for Part 4 of Pinch Hitter) I sit in my Ram 2500 Mega Cab parked a few blocks down the street from my mark, Herman’s grandson, Eddie Snead. Even his name suggests that he’s a weasel. Skinny little, long-haired shit. Although, aside from some probation time for petty theft, his record was fairly [...]

FAMILY CHARACTERS
We all have them: Kin that we walk away from, shaking our heads. “Man, what a character,” we mutter. But seriously, think about it. If you noticed, collected, and applied all the quirks, strange, silly, funny or touching memories … Continue reading

You Can’t Make This Stuff Up
BUT, you can use it! Good writing–the stuff that engages your readers and has them return to read you again and again–requires that characters be believable, admirable, plausible and entertaining. And, of course, your plot needs to meet that criteria, … Continue reading
