I'm having no luck with my novel?
The title says all! All tracks hail! jk Seriously though, I go through something similar for writers block. I know how the story progresses, but I have no idea how to write. It's like a movie in a book. Everything is in my head, but it can not be expressed in words. Please can someone help? Also, I heard say that to be a good writer, you need to read more. Unfortunately, no book that I read that the knights, the median age, and stories Fantasy Dragon were either too boring, too historical or complicated to understand. Is there a book or books that resemble what I mean? Something with knights and romance (maybe). Nothing girlie though.Oh, and I do not want it to be historical either.
Unfortunately, your question shows why you have trouble. Not only did you not read much, but you have too many restrictions on what you read. A good writer is always a good reader. A good writer reads everything – even "girlie" things. Good stories are everywhere. And good writing is a combination of good story telling and effective prose. You really love reading to be a good writer, so my adivce is to broaden your horizons. All information on Jane Austin Shakespeare to Stephen King.

The Target $3.48 Catherine Coulter’s sensational contemporary suspense novels The Cove and The Maze were gripping enough to establish Coulter firmly in the genre, hailed Publishers Weekly. Now, with The Target, Coulter again lays claim to the territory where romance and terror intersect. Hoping to escape unwanted celebrity in the aftermath of a notorious incident, Ramsey Hunt settles in the Rockies, determined to bury himself in the safety of a solitary existence. But his isolation is shattered when he stumbles upon a small girl unconscious in the high-altitude forest. When strangers pursue Ramsey to his private meadow in an attempt to kill him and the girl, he’s mystified that anyone would wish her harm. And the child can’t shed any light on the subject: she’s mute. Molly Santana, the girl’s mother, catches up with Ramsey and her daughter, mistaking her daughter’s savior for a kidnapper. But soon Ramsey’s real role becomes clear. With the strangers in pursuit, the trio flee to Chicago for sanctuary. Even there, however, the child’s enemies prove as relentless as their motives are baffling. With an unexpected assist from FBI agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock (last seen in The Maze), Molly and Ramsey begin to unravel the clues, and in the process they make an astonishing discovery as to the true nature of the target. |

Writing as Muhlbach she produced more than fifty novels and her works in their entirety comprise almost one hundred volumes. Her historical romance novels are where the author’s fame rests.

Target $11.98 Target is one of those Tom Scott records that gets forgotten about a lot. Certainly it comes from the middle of the 1980s just before the GRP era, when Scott was still leading the Saturday Night Live Band on occasion and looking around for a new sound. It’s the sound of a restless musician who gets the pop game, or at least has gotten it and is not sure of where to shift his focus next. The band is big and full of killer players: Harvey Mason, Ernie Watts, Ian Underwood, Victor Feldman, Paul Jackson, Neil Stubenhaus, Jim Horn, Trevor Feldman, Pete Christlieb, and Michael Boddicker, among others. The sound is a tad warmer than what Atlantic was releasing at the time, too. But the material, as good as some of it is — like the funky title track — also contains half-hearted pop ballads like “Come Back to Me” with Kenny James on vocals. “He’s Too Young,” with a fine vocal performance by Maria Muldaur, is marred by a terribly dated — and it was for the time — synth drum sound. There is also a truly bizarre moment when Lee Ving, former lead singer of Los Angeles hardcore band Fear raps and plays blues harmonica on “Gotta Get out of New York.” Then there’s “Lollipoppin’” which, while it contains the same dumb synth drum sound, also has some killer Rhodes by Feldman, synth work by Underwood, and a happening keyboard bassline. The grooving muted horn section on this reading of Dan Peck’s “The Biggest Part of Me,” has a wonderfully soulful feel with great kit work by Mason. The horn arrangements are in the pocket but restrained, allowing that lithe melody to shine through and, along with the title cut, it’s a contender for best tune on the set. The set closes with the stone-gone funky groover “Burundi Bump” by Scott and Feldman with excellent basslines, pulsing Rhodes work, a boatload of percussion, and Mason running the ensemble from his kit; the entire tune is rhythm based. So Target is, ultimately, a mixed bag, a hold-over record that was throwing everything at the wall to see what worked. Interestingly, what did was the basis for Scott’s sound at GRP. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music GuidePerformers: Tom Scott – Lyricon, Sax (Soprano), Sax (Tenor), Saxophone, Synthesizer, Wind; Judi Brown – Vocals (Background); Trevor Feldman – Fender Rhodes, Keyboards; Victor Feldman – Fender Rhodes, Keyboards, Percussion, Piano, Synthesizer; Jerry Hey – Flugelhorn, Horn, Trumpet; |

An Historical Romance of the Ku Klux Klan $26.75 1905. The Clansman is the second book of a series of historical novels planned on the Race Conflict. The Leopard’s Spots was the statement in historical outline of the conditions from the enfranchisement of the Negro to his disenfranchisement. The Clansman develops the true story of the Ku Klux Klan Conspiracy, which overturned the Reconstruction regime…I have sought to preserve in this romance both the letter and the spirit of this remarkable period. The men who enact the drama of fierce revenge into which I have woven a double love-story are historical figures. I have merely changed their names without taking a liberty with any essential historic fact. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing. |
