Plotting – The Necessary Evil
Up to this point in this series we have focused on two of the five P’s of writing a novel, people and place. Now we are going to shift to plot and its companion, structure. Plot involves the events that tell a story. Structure is the sequencing of these events to follow the causal relationship. […]

The CKFiction Dictionary: Creative Cursing – Alternative Curse-Nasties
Sometimes you really need to get a point across and normal vocabulary just doesn’t seem to cut it. Sometimes, you want to pack a little extra punch with your delivery and unload with some four-letter favorites, but then other times you don’t want to disappoint your mother or be compared to some salty sailing sea dog. Sometimes there are small children around and you don’t want to be accused of tainting their virgin ears. Sure, sometimes those small children are even yours and you don’t want your wife to blame you for setting a bad example.
That’s where this list will come in handy. Simply plug in my top tried and true cuss word alternatives, and you’ll be sounding like a huge cheeseball in no time!
