Fiction Craft: An Introduction (Article) - 11/17/2002 5:06:54 AM
I thoroughly enjoyed your articles. I printed them all out to use as reference. They are informative and interesting. The one I need right now is on revising the novel. You have made some really good suggestions there. Thank you very much.

Fiction Craft: Dialogue (Article) - 10/7/2002 4:36:40 AM
This article was fantastic, i am in the pocess of writing my own bok, and although i am able to pluck characters and scenes from nothing dialogue presents me with a particular problem, this has been inspirational to me thank you very much
Fiction Craft: Writing Fantasy Part II (Article) - 9/12/2002 7:11:15 AM
Wow, I loved these two articles, particularly since I love Fantasy. I've been in the process of a fantasy novel for quite some time (only on chapter 4 i think), and have stopped writing it for more than a year. I need some inspiration, I have pages and pages (and even a detailed map) of the geographical features, characters, places and monsters that are involed, as well as history.
The guidelines you have written have helped a little, most of which I knew a fair bit about.
I would love to send you the first 3 chapters and have to critique it for me, as some parts I know myself are a bit tedious to read.
If you're willing to help just drop me an email, or a msg at my den, thanks.

Interesting work!
Fiction Craft: Using Real People as Characters (Article) - 3/6/2002 8:23:25 PM
Good and generous information especially information vs plot advancement. Thanks.

Receiving a 10 from a small town weekly newspaper owner/editor means very little to most.
For me to be on deadline, no time to waste, get to this site well after midnight and be so totally drawn to reading each and every article...matching the advice with 'the book' I've been writing for five yrs, in my spare time...well sir, I must say, I appreciate your articles of advice and shall finish each and every one. However, not tonight...have a paper to put together tomorrow.
Thanks, and the're probably all 10's.

I totally agree.
Fault Line (Poetry) - 12/14/2005 9:41:01 AM
Robert, line after line captures precisely. Starring ourselves in every role... fantasy at expense of reality... our way of listening without listening. I could turn into a thief wandering such poetry.
Picking Up Daughter at Camp (Poetry) - 12/11/2005 10:10:43 PM
beautiful, pure
Fault Line (Poetry) - 12/11/2005 10:09:08 PM

Visiting the Alzheimer's Patient (Poetry) - 10/30/2005 8:41:20 AM
My grandmother was like that. Offer food and she would open her mouth. Otherwise, she just smiled at some inside joke. Her death brought my father and uncle back together.

Solitaires on Game Day (Poetry) - 10/27/2005 11:51:01 PM
Good One. :) I liked the way you used the lines - 'to muster on game day--
a battalion of bonding
strangers.'
Inverse Relationship (Poetry) - 10/25/2005 6:21:01 AM
This is wonderful! I read and reread this, and each time I hear that echo... how we write, the battles we wage in that chase to voice our creativity. That balance... resolve and temptation...
Morning After Poetry Reading (Poetry) - 10/25/2005 6:19:06 AM
Point blank paradise... how straight is your aim, Robert.
Parallel Universe (Poetry) - 10/16/2005 1:20:11 AM
Good "beat" beat. All you need is a smoky room and a beating drum.
Enjoyed.
Parallel Universe (Poetry) - 10/14/2005 4:13:11 AM
Poetry is layers of provoking thoughts -
A good poet/artist can edit the poem to his/her likings. It is written from his/her heart and soul. No one can justify what struck the poet to write the poem. To be fair, we will have to read the receive whatever vibes the poem gives us. We all lead different lives, so we all interpret the poem with different views.
A good poem will give the readers many expressions. Between the lines, it can be read into many things according to what you know about the poet; but what you don't know about the poet are the things you'll need to learn. That is why one should never judge another until they get to know the person well.
But who are we to judge others of what they write is right or wrong when the words are from their hearts and souls?
A good way to produce a good poem is to edit it afterward. Many of my older works need editing. When I re-read them now, I would think to myself, "Wow!, did I write that?" - and yet at the state of mind at the time, it was justified to write that to vent.
But then again, when one who read that had same experience in life, my poem would speak volume for this reader.
A poem - whether it is a hit or a miss - depends largely upon the reaction of its readers.
...above is just my 2 cents worth of opinion...

Parallel Universe (Poetry) - 10/13/2005 7:26:11 PM
uniquely provoking and stimulating write ... excellent images ... in a parallel universe, poetry is consigned to the observer's experience of deciphering the multilayered realities present in the universal design and its evolving aftermath in time ... such poetry can be viewed only by the cosmic audience and can never truly be destroyed ...
really like how you concluded this poem ...
Canal Street after Katrina (Poetry) - 9/29/2005 10:42:55 AM
Robert, this adds a tragic beauty to an event that has broken all of our hearts, except perhaps one--one who holds far too much power.
Your writing is exquisite.
Gadgets (Poetry) - 9/20/2005 4:18:27 PM
I'm a salesman dream. I just love all them gizmos. Gotta have gotta have..

Picking Up Daughter at Camp (Poetry) - 9/14/2005 4:50:28 AM
