Endings

April 10, 2024|Blogging

Unfortunately, all stories come to an end. Whether good or not. Some endings can be abrupt, unexpected, full-circle, resolved, or cliffhanger-type endings. Personally, I hate an abrupt ending that leaves you to decide what happens next. A happy ending is what most of us want, but sometimes a sad or full-circle ending is better for the story. What type of endings do you prefer? I would love to hear from you and find out. Remember to "Enjoy the Write!" KSCarson

Seasons To Write

October 4, 2023|Blogging

It's October, a great season to write and read scary stories. Seasons can give us great subject matter for writing. Some of the greatest stories are written during the seasons. You wouldn't write a story like "T'was The night before Christmas," around Easter, I mean, you could, but it wouldn't really make much sense. So when you have no idea what to write about, just think about what season it is and start writing! KSCarson

We read because language gives us the vitality of real and imagined experiences. A relationship between two parts of a reading selection can exist in several ways: between two supporting details. between the main idea and a supporting detail. When you love reading and have a love of books, you are a bibliophile, a lover of books. A bibliophage is a passionate reader. Bibliophage is a very rarely used word, unlike the commonly used bookworm. But having a great relationship with reading is a wonderful thing. So remember to "Enjoy the Write!" KSCarson

Transitional words are like bridges, they are cues that help the reader interpret your ideas. Transitional words or phrases help carry your thoughts forward from one sentence to another and one paragraph to another.

Secondary Writing

May 17, 2024|Blogging

What is it? A secondary source is created later by someone who did not experience firsthand or participate in the events the author is writing about. Secondary sources often summarize, interpret, analyze, or comment on information found in primary sources. Some examples are; journal articles that comment on or analyze research, textbooks, dictionaries and encyclopedias, books that interpret, and investigate political commentary, biographies, dissertations, and newspaper editorial/opinion pieces. Hope this helps, and remember to "Enjoy the Write!" KSCarson
