@GOPLeader So it goes with the marginally aware demofacists that are used to getting away with everything. This angry fascist will not be sanctioned because she speaks for pelosi and her anarchist mob.

@CurtisHouck All this guy can do is what someone tells him to. It’s theater and to keep the unclean masses frightened and compliant.

Writer's Pitching Agents: Have you watched "Shark Tank"? Except for how much $$ desired and help needed, pitches involve product description, sales/past publications, and how the genre fits into and will sell in the market. The bottom line its what's in it for the agent/shark.

Is it writer’s block half way through or is it fearing to say goodbye to the characters you have grown to love?

Reading Steven King’s “On Writing.” It collected dust in my office before the great plague put us under house arrest. It is an insightful piece of the formation of an author and very humble beginnings. Recommend it.

When asked about a new ScFi series, I remarked that the story line for now was unlikely. After push back that all ScFi is unlikely I suggested the author's challenge was to make unlikely speculative fantasy seem likely not just like magic.

Being among creative poets and writers is truly inspirational. I wish it could brand my creative spirit long enough to get back to my computer.

At concluding day at the Annual Conference of the Maryland Writers Association. Excellent program. As always presence of agents were priceless. My presentation “Warriors, Spies and CSI” was well received.

Art Prompt was created by having MWA members use art works, selected for the current show, as writers prompts for 100-200 word story vignettes. Art and prompt are displayed side by side and both artist and writer.

Today, I am happy to be part of the Charles County, Md writers and the Mattawoman Creek Art Center (MCAC) “Art Prompt.” It is a totally new and unique art event created by the MWA and MCAC.

Writing is an act of creation. By way of the story, planets and constellations are formed; theoretical physics becomes real; people, civilizations, and relationships are created, Evil is confronted and vanquished.
