Kate’s 2¢: ‘The Writer Magazine’ April, 2022

‘The Writer Magazine’ April, 2022

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   Every now and then, I like to read a periodical geared to the craft of writing. This months reading time is 4 hours, 57-minutes. Here are a few take-out points from this issue.

–Always have an idea before you write. There may be an over-production of articles, but, there’ll never be an over-production of ideas.

–“Salvage the Bones” and “Men We reeked” by Jasman Ward:    The story begins and ends with the death of her younger brother, using a complicated plot structure. The memory broke her in certain ways, but hopefully, mend in a healthier way.

–Horror needs an emotional chord for impact, deeper reader engagement, and catharsis.

–Digital publishing has benefited literary and visual artists, and their work. Check guidelines carefully for multi-media submissions

–Don’t over use the ‘m-dash’. It’s not special when it is over-used. Traditional punctuation, used properly, is usually best.
