Writing 101: Writing the Keyword Article

Writing articles for the Internet is one way to drive traffic to your site but they must be read before anyone follows your links to your sites. Using keywords will help you write articles with a high hit number when folks search the web. Of current interest is Anna Nicole Smith who's keyword popularity was not in the top 300 last December but peaked to Number 1 soon after she died. She has dropped to #49 but that is still a very high rating and it could go higher if the media has its way by placing doubt on the cause of her death.

Testing First or New Novel Writer Software

I decided to see how the First Novel or New Novel Writer software performed. I've used such software programs before and I wanted to see how this inexpensive performed. Other than not having a search function that I could easily find, I found the software efficient for choosing genre, defining characters, places, and objects.

As for the research function I found that I could verify historical information easily online as I wrote a novelette. I particularly liked the detail that could be added to characters and places and objects as I went along. I liked bringing in a new character and then immediately use the software to define the character. I could always refer back to my character on the fly and see if his eyes were green or blurred.

The Chapter headings were great. You click on the chapter and it tells you what to put into it. It gives an example from Henry Potter. I simply read the list of details expected in the chapter and wrote the chapter.

It took one week of part time writing to produce the novelette of 17,000 words. I could flush it out in a few weeks to the word requirement for the genre I chose of 50-200,000 words.

I decided to write a detective western in the very late 1800s. It is called The Hunt for Lester Gorney a story of the hunt for a rapist murderer who preys on teenage girls but will kill anyone that get in his way.

I used Peter Ott as my protagonist who my readers (both of them) will recognize from my novels, Bull where he is not the protagonist and Revenge on the Mogollon Rim where he is the protagonist.

You can read the novelette at www.tjbooks.com/novel.pdf Go to Adobe.com if you do not have the free access Adobe Reader. There is no charge but please do not infringe on my copyright because I don't have the money to sue you.

I ordered the mail version of the writing software and got it in a couple of days. That despite the program was developed in England. You may have the option to download the software.

UFO: Xrytspet Shows Me a Universe with a Yellow Glow

Xrytspet visited me yesterday and after we settled our differences on her tricking me and eating my Omaha Steaks, gourmet hamburgers and franks, and my beef stroganoff from the freezer in the garage she took me on a tour beyond our universe in the FnL7 Time Craft to show me how dumb I am on dark energy. Why we quickly returned from our space voyage. The article is at:

Writing 101: Character Motivation Requires Research

If your characters are not driven, your writing will be boring to your reader.

Note that I said, “reader,” not “readers.” The only reader will be you!

Nobody wants to read a "ho hum" novel or short story. We study Poe first then Gary Jennings, author of Aztec and other historical novels. I also point out motivation in characters in my western and detective novels.

The Stock Market Is Not Always Nice: What To Do When the Market Drops?

When the market drops, what do you do? During the mid-80s-flop my friend gobbled up quality stocks that had dropped in price, and because of the price drop, the yield (dividends) went up over 8 percent. That could be a consideration in these shaky times. My Hack Writer article is at http://www.ezinearticles.com/?The-Stock-Market-Is-Not-Always-Nice:-What-To-Do-When-the-Market-Plunges?&id=471209
