Not long ago, I had joined a local writing group in our area. Each week the group gets together and to help the members improve their writing. Some of those in attendance are poets, novelists, short story authors, and even article writers like me. To help everyone get over writer’s block they start the meeting with a writer’s prompt and ask everyone to get busy writing. Let me explain how this works using this is a case study. Below is a recent writer’s prompt which was used by our group.

In December, 1800, William Eaton bound himself to the Bey (monarch) of Tunis for $5,000 (a huge some of money at that time). This was his promise to pay the ransom of a twelve-year-old Sardinian (Italian) girl who was kidnapped by Tunisian pirates. The pirates were the infamous Barbary Pirates, organized by Bey Hammuda ibn Ali to seize Mediterranean shipping and to conduct coastal raids. The pirates brought their prizes to Tripoli, where the Bey offered the pirates his protection. The Bey, actively communicated the demands for ransom (for a hefty fee). If the owners failed to pay the ransom, the ships, the goods, and the people aboard the ships were sold. For the people, that meant enslavement. This means to enrich himself and others of his realm worked especially well while Napoleon campaigned in Europe. It was easier for the kings of Europe to pay the ransom. It was not easy for a man of principle to do that.

How to Write Your Novel – Part One – My Preferred Method – Everybody has a book inside them, so the saying goes, and most of these books will be novels.

All writers experience writer’s block at some point. Did you know that by simply reorganizing your junk drawer or cleaning your house can open the door to a treasure trove of ideas to jumpstart your writing?

Do you think you want to be an editor? Or, maybe you don’t want to be right now, but in case you are ever out of work you would like to have something to fall back on.

It would be amazing to harness the power and speed of light to make an even more effective laser. Dirk Steele had broken the code and developed the technology to bend light. He was working on the technology to harness the power of his discovery.

Now he found himself in two places at once! He had succeeded. Indeed here was the proof of relativity. Now, to exploit the finding, Dirk had to find a way to cash in!

When men ruled the editorial pages of top news magazines, women’s femininity or lack thereof was a topic to be studied and pondered. Follow me as I take a stab at the continuation of these findings.
