I define &#8220;media vocabulary&#8221; as the various media one uses to tell resonant stories. Since most readers of this blog are authors, I reckon we&#8217;re fluent in the vocabulary of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Conflict is the rocket fuel for any good story, but how your characters react to that conflict is what provides direction and resonance for the tale. Of course, how your characters react hinges almost completely on what kind of people they are. And defining what kind of people they are hinges solely on you, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh, we wordherders love to procrastinate. We also love to metaphorically masturbate. We are enamored with conducting &#8220;storytelling research&#8221; &#8212; aka justifying watching hours of TV to see how &#8220;the pros&#8221; write great dialogue. We lovingly re-read our work-in-progress&#8217; first three chapters again and again, as we&#8217;ve done for weeks (or years). We drone on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The best writing advice I ever received was from Brad Meltzer, one of my favorite novelists. He writes mostly political thrillers. I met him at a signing, told him I was writing my first novel, and was stuck in Act Two. “I’ve built a lot of momentum,” I said, “and I think I know where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s the time of year when television seasons are concluding, which always gets me thinking about storytelling &#8212; endings, specifically. The best dramatic TV season finales perform several critical functions: they pull out the narrative stops by bringing together disparate story threads in interesting and meaningful ways … they often build intrigue or cliffhangers for [...]]]></description>

A fan of my novels, he wanted to know if the film rights to my 7th Son thriller trilogy were available to option for motion picture development. This was an &#8220;embarrassment of riches&#8221; moment: the trilogy was optioned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking about movies and television shows lately: the power of their immediacy, the creative constraints screenwriters face in crafting visually rich stories, and most of all, how demanding the craft can be. While it&#8217;s the director&#8217;s and actors&#8217; jobs to realize what&#8217;s on the page, great screenwriters deliver a vision that illustrates everything [...]]]></description>

A contingent of ebook consumers are crowing that, in light of the recent Amazon/Macmillan standoff and pricing precedent that was set, ebook prices will shoot through the roof.

I love reading prose fiction &#8212; but in my heart of hearts, I&#8217;m a movie junkie. It&#8217;s a brilliant way to economically tell stories, and I enjoy the creative constraints the medium [...]]]></description>
