		<description><![CDATA[Note: My approach to discussing dialog, is to write dialog by ‘conversing’ with my imaginary friend, Piper. (I know, I’m strange, and tend to have imaginary friends with me. Good thing I’m a writer, huh?) However, I’ll start the whole article by giving you a glimpse of Sooner or Later by Vickie McDonough: “How old [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You can have your character want anything as long as it’s strongly motivated. More importantly, you can make your reader believe almost any goal you set up as long as you justify it with motivation. When I think of this, I think of the movie, Romancing the Stone. Remember when the main characters were running [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People have been asking me why I returned to teaching. Why not stay at home and write full time? It&#8217;s weird, but when I was teaching I was more productive in my writing. I find when I don&#8217;t have much time, I don&#8217;t squander time&#8211;time doesn&#8217;t get away from me like it did when I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reviewing James Scott Bell&#8217;s book called Plot and Structure. It&#8217;s really good and if you get the chance to get it, do so. What is plot? Per learner.org, plot is a causal sequence of events in a story. Look at the following: The boy died in a boating accident and the father died [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Theme is the deeper meaning of a text, the insight about life which comes both from the author and the reader. Themes are what may influence your life long after you&#8217;ve completed reading the story. The author is going to put some clues and information into the story, but the reader is going to bring [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These are characters based on real life characters. You might find biographical characters in&#8230;gasp!&#8230;biographies. Or you might find them in historical fiction, or in different human interest pieces. We&#8217;re going to study biographical characters and how we can tell facts from opinions, and how we look at inferences. Learning about Biographical Characters: Indirect and Direct [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been listening to a series of lessons designed for eighth graders on story structure. Really, it&#8217;s quite fascinating. I&#8217;ve taken so many courses and workshops on writing, as you can imagine, through Romance Writers of America, classes at the Tulsa Community College, classes at Oklahoma State University, and at conferences at Oklahoma Writers Federation.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve read all the Harry Potter books, Terry Brook stories, Cassandra Clare&#8217;s series. To me, the appeal of these books are that the characters are fully fleshed out. All of them have an Achilles&#8217; heel, where they are vulnerable. And even the good guys aren&#8217;t perfect. In other words, the characters are very real. For [...]]]></description>

Have you seen the movie Mad Max? Or The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? Or have you read H. G. Wells? A more modern example is Steven Hunt&#8217;s Court [...]]]></description>
