- Well Written Sentence Openers In Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho
By: marciano guerrero | - What can one say about a fine writer -Bret Easton Ellis- who chooses a vicious and violent theme? To me it seems like a waste of talent. But to each his own! Why lament the fact that Flaubert -another superb writer- chose to write about infidelity, adultery, the provinces, and a dunce of a heroine? Yet the fact remains that while Madame Bovary is a masterpiece regardless of its theme, American Psycho is a minor work.
American Psycho is a scary book for whoever reads it, be the reade ...

- Alliteration In The Hands Of Master Writers
By: marciano guerrero | -
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Tongue-twister
When writers combine stressed syllables that begin with the same consonant sound, they can achieve not only euphonious sounds, but also mark certain beats and cadence within the narrative's rhythm. For example:
Noise, nausea, and loneliness-but that's nothing really new.

- Stephen Colbert Tickets - Stephen Colbert Invades America
By: Brent Warnken | - Former Daily Show star and host of his own The Colbert Report Stephen Colbert has been hailed "TV's most dangerous man" by Rolling Stone, and for good reason.

By: marciano guerrero | - "Selden paused in surprise. In the afternoon rush of the Grand Central Station, his eyes had been refreshed by the sight of Miss Lily Bart."

- Will Your Book Sell?
By: Patrika Vaughn | - The Kindly, Caring Literary Agent is probably extinct.
Todays agents are more likely to treat you like a paychecks than like the sensitive creative person you are. You wont get your hand held when youre blue. You wont have your manuscript lovingly edited. Even worse than this cold, business-like treatment, youre unlikely to get your works placed with a publisher by an agent today if you are a budding author.

- What Is Denouncement?
By: aju | - Libel and slander are the two categories of defamation in the United States.

- A Review Of Black Snow By Mikhail Bulgakov
By: Philip Spires | - Black Snow is a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov. This apparent platitude is full of contradiction. The book is perhaps better described as an autobiographical episode, with Bulgakov renamed as the books central character, Maxudov. Its also a satire in which the characters are precise, exact and often vicious caricatures of Bulgakovs colleagues and acquaintances in the between-the-wars Moscow Arts Theatre, including the legendary Stanislawsky. In some ways, Black Snow is a history of Bulgakov ...

- Are You A Procrastinator?

- Do Manners Make The Man?
By: Knight Pierce Hirst | - The three, little words I heard most growing up were, "Mind your manners"; but manners change. Women no longer expect doors to be held for them or chairs to be pulled out for them. Men are no longer expected to take their hats off inside or even in restaurants.
In restaurants I was taught that if there were two knives, forks or spoons, you used the one farther from the plate first. That's not a problem at MacDonald's or Denny's.
However, if waiters at any restaur ...

- Wasn't Making Hard Copies Easier?
By: Knight Pierce Hirst | - According to Webster's Dictionary, compute - as in computer - means to make sense. Yeah, right. The only thing that makes sense to me is the carrying case. I understand how to use the zippered compartments and the inside pockets. I also managed to figure out how to use the Velcro strap to secure my computer.
Because I'm a writer, I named my computer Steinbeck to inspire me - not to cause the weights of wrath. Because of his predilection to make things I'm writing disappear, I sho ...

By: Knight Pierce Hirst | - As a child I thought my grandmother was a bit strange because she complained about how fast time went. Fast? It was forever until cookie time. That was then. Now time passes so fast I feel wind burn.
I have to prioritize. I have to learn to say no because no one will say it for me. I have to stop worrying about things that probably won't happen - skip to the worst case scenario, figure out how to handle it and let go.

- Express Yourself... Through Blogs!
By: Rudolf Freidlander | - Picture these three scenarios:
You are at a costume party in a room full of strangers. You are dressed as an 18th Century dandy; you've studied the mannerisms, have affected the perfect accent and you charm every partygoer you meet. Beneath the facade, outside the realm of this party you may be a banker, a steel worker or an unemployed poet but here and now you are Monsieur Baudelaire, the fop who speaks of temperament and style as the be-all and end-all of a meaningful existence. ...
