April Is Child Abuse Prevention Month




Join Me in the Awareness to END Child Abuse!
Please help us in the fight to END Child Abuse. On April 22, 2016 wear a tie (An ugly one, if you have one) to show awareness. I'd like you to take a photo around or on April 22, 2016 wearing a tie and holding a sign to stop child abuse, and post it on social media for a chance to win one of Sabre's Jerry Garcia ties, Autographed by Teresa Burrell. Please  invite family, friends, and your coworkers to help raise awareness for child abuse by wearing a tie. Wear the tie with whatever you normally wear such as a dress, T shirt, jeans, or whatever. It will get other people's attention and bring that much more awareness.

All you have to do is take a photo of yourself wearing a tie and holding the sign above in this letter, or one similar, and post it on my Facebook page. You can download the sign from here, or copy and paste it. If you're having trouble there's another sign for download on TieOne.org. You will also be entered in the drawing if you Tweet your photo  on Twitter with both the hashtags #ChildAbusePrevention and #TeresaBurrell in your tweet.
You can also send your photo to TieOne.org and they may post it on their site.

Please join us to fight this fight.

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
