The 'great story rule' applies here. It's fine to do something like this, but only if the story is greater than what you're asking the audience to go along with. Personally I like family history being used to explain certain traits, but if the chara…
A schedule isn't nearly as important as writing every day. I've found that as long as you give yourself a daily writing goal (2 Hours, 2,000 words, or even 10 minutes), you'll be surprised how much you get done. I agree that it does have to be a pri…
As a writer, validation can come from all sorts of sources. I self-published my first book because that what I wanted to do for that project. While I thought it had the possibility to make money, I didn't see it as something from a publisher. And th…
I think the story dictates what I'm writing. Some stories would look better on the small (or big) screen. They're visual stories with actions that make the transition easy. Other stories are practically unfilmable. I don't think it's a very good ide…

- Jack,
Just a quick note from a fellow Tacoman. I have three novels in the hopper, a slew of short stories, and a few screenplays too. I see you like Ellroy and The Usual Suspects, sure indications that you have good taste. I've got a number of stories up on A Twist Of Noir if you're interested in checking them out. Anyway, maybe one of thes times we can hook up, get a coffee, and talk about writing and crime.
