Revisit: The Perfect Style Is . . .

Posted on July 30, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

First published on February 20, 2013, I think this one still stands.  Can’t think of anything else to change about this post.  I am wondering if I should keep this old post revisiting going through September though.  Just to make … Continue reading →

Revisit: Magic of Support

Posted on July 23, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

Posted on January 27, 2013, I still don’t know about the question I wanted to ask after this post.  The one I would ask now is: Has anyone else had an encounter similar to the one I described?  One with … Continue reading →

Revisit: Crushers of Souls and Puppies

Posted on July 14, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

This went live on January 2, 2013 and it comes off as fairly naive.  I seem so simplistic in my view on villains and what makes one good.  Not sure why I lacked any nuance, especially since I had to … Continue reading →

Reviews: The Precious Dreams of Authors

Posted on November 29, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

Sadly, I think at least quarter of what I see for book reviews is basically what you see above.  Any 50% are ratings that don’t have any written reviews, which I used to dislike, but now I’m okay with.  As … Continue reading →

7 Tips to Writing ‘How To’ Books

Posted on July 12, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

I’m not an expert on writing ‘How To’ books.  In fact, Do I Need to Use a Dragon? will probably be the only advice book I write.  (Get it now as a 99 cent eBook by clicking on the title!)  Still, there … Continue reading →

Always Write for Yourself

Posted on March 22, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

Months back, I started to openly question why I still wrote.  Books weren’t selling and I can’t do any publishing at this time.  That’s both a financial and situational thing that I hope will be remedied.  Anyway, there was a … Continue reading →

Who Do You Write For?

Posted on January 22, 2021 by Charles Yallowitz

This is a question that I ask a lot and see many people answering without hesitation.  At least it appears that way.  It’s hard to figure out for myself.  There’s always multiple factors that I think about.  The list can … Continue reading →

When Your Audience Won’t Jump with You

Posted on January 23, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

I think I should apologize for all these series posts that I’ve been doing for the last two weeks.  I promise that I’ve got a ‘Ye Olde Shoppe’ coming on Friday, so just hold out for a little longer.  There’s … Continue reading →

Authors and Readers: A Partnership in the Pages

Posted on September 5, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

This was an interesting picture that I’ve been thinking about in regards to myself.  Not as a reader, but as an author.  Do any other authors wonder if their readers are getting the ideas that are in their head?  What … Continue reading →

Good News, Other News, & Question News: All to the Void!

Posted on January 10, 2016 by Charles Yallowitz

My blog has been very quiet this week beyond the Questions 3 and Sue Vincent‘s amazing guest blog.  Not sure if it’s the Ask-a-Character or something else.  So I’m sticking this post at the top for a bit to get … Continue reading →
