What a nightmare...Beware the Evil that Lurks Within





What a nightmare...
SHE WAS TRAPPED

Emotionally vulnerable, Marcia was thrilled about this new marriage to Dick which she had long dreamed of...and in denial. While he was handsome, she considered herself ordinary and, at first, lucky. But Marcia soon found herself trapped in a damaging relationship with Dick, a sex addict and alcoholic. Her terrifying emotional prison walls kept her locked in a world of his malevolent lies, sexual trysts, menages a trois, voyeurism, infidelities and drug addiction. 

SHE WAS DEFEATED

She desperately wanted him to change, and she believed he would for her, if only she loved and cared for him enough. But he continued his sick and dangerous escapades. Caught in a world of chaos and instability with seven geographical relocations in just a year and a half, she was at his mercy and financially broke. Emotionally vulnerable toward him and his many addictions, she was trapped in a world of total despair and isolation.

SHE WAS RESCUED

Fearful of her own violent thoughts, she turned to a young, kind and promising member of a motorcycle gang for help and began to feel courageous and hopeful though she never imagined the horror yet  to come.

On Writing Chase Scenes

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of  The Frugal Editor,  the winning-est  in her award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers This article is excerpted from some editing I did for a writer of experimental fiction when I was on a Greater Los Angeles Writers Society panel writer of any genre can apply these suggestions to the chase, getaway, or high action scene in your script or manuscript before you send it to an agent or publisher or, better still, while you are writing the first draft.  Sometimes even the most fascinating, interesting and irresistible  detail can slow down the forward movement of your story. So as much as writers are told that detail is important, purge as much as you can from your action scenes and put it somewhere else or dribble it into narrative in other places in your manuscript. In the process, ask yourself if your reader really needs to know the color of the protagonist’s eyes. As important as detail is, some is better left to t

Ampersands: Pretty Is as Pretty Does

   By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of the multi award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers   Have you noticed how ampersands turn to gibberish when they are entered into some blog services like Google's blogpsot.com? That is only the beginning of problems ampersands cause for editors, and publishers of all kinds. Many of the difficulties they cause go unnoticed except by the publishing pros we would all like to impress like agents, librarians, bookstore event directors, and the acquisition editors at Knopf!    That's why I added a new section to the second edition of the winningest book in my #HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers,  The Frugal Editor . Because ampersands seem to be so popular these days, it's especially important for editors and authors who publish books to know a little about their history, how to use them, and how gatekeepers and readers of Lynn Truss's famous zero-tolerance a

MARGARET FIELAND INTERVIEW (guest blogger)

When did you first know you were destined to be a writer? LOL, I never realized I was destined to be a writer -- I fell into it. I'd written poetry for years, collecting it in notebooks stacked in my attic when I wrote one I wanted to keep. This led me to several online sites and ultimately to discovering the Muse Online Writers Conference where I hooked up with Linda Barnett Johnson and joined her writers forums. She required everyone to write both fiction and poetry, so, with much trepidation, I started writing fiction. Then I got hooked on it, wrote a chapter book, took the ICL course and actually learned how to write it. Then in 2010, I was seized by a desire to write a sci fi novel, so I spent six weeks or so on world building, mostly, with a bit of plotting thrown in for good measure. Who would you cite as your influences? I'm a way-back sci-fi fan, and Robert A. Heinlein influenced me heavily. I took a lot away from his writing, notably the value of surpris
