- Edgar Allan Poe's Unity Of Impression - How To Write A Short Story
By: marciano guerrero | - When I sat down to write my mini story on "Alzheimer's" I pretty much had on mind Edgar Allan Poe's writing principle: Unity of impression. To bind the story together I used an object (a 100-burnt out light bulb) that would mirror and symbolize human life: that it eventually burns out.
Poe held that a good work has to be short enough to be read in one sitting. If it requires two sittings, the unity of impression and effect is damaged. That is why he was so critical of Milton's long ...

- Writing For Dummies - How To Shuffle The Writing Desk

By: Gene Schwerman | - Erotic literature is not an oxymoron as religious zealots everywhere would have you believe. There are relatively few but, at the same time, some very important works of Erotic Literature we can point to, as well as volumes of critical praise for many of these books and stories.

- Writing - Understanding The Difference Between Voice And Tone
By: Robert L. Bacon | - One of the best ways to understand something is to provide different treatments of the subject. Thomas Mann's eight stories in the popular Vintage imprint with DEATH IN VENICE as the lead title is ideal to work from, since each story is written in a different voice. Yet his masterpiece, THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN, depicts his voice as a separate entity unto its own--and one could say this was Mann's true voice.
While the short stories in the DEATH IN VENICE Vintage compendium enable a ...
