On August 17, 2011, in Articles, Wilfried F. Voss, Writing & Publishing, by Wilfried F. Voss

So, you had an idea. You want to write a novel. The story line is already in your head, and you are itching to get your hands on that keyboard. In your mind, you have already sold thousands of copies, and you are thinking about who will play the lead role in the movie version. Been there, done that, and still like it…

Let's Write A Novel: The Art Of Dialog Writing

On October 19, 2010, in Writing & Publishing, by Wilfried F. Voss

There is much to be said about dialogs in a novel, and in the following I would like to point to the most common problem in novel-writing, the “he said – she said” issue.

Let's Write A Novel – Writing Helps

On August 24, 2010, in Writing & Publishing, by Wilfried F. Voss

A writing tool is not a guarantee for error-free writing or good style. The spell-checker cannot help you when you have trouble distinguishing between there, they’re, and their.

On August 6, 2010, in Writing & Publishing, by Wilfried F. Voss
