    • Hmmm, well, I mostly learned by trial-and-error. I read a lot of different authors, decided why I liked some stories and not others, and tried to put that into my writing. My first writing was awful… the only way you really can improve is to keep at it and write lots and lots. There’s also plenty of writing tips online if you google it, eg: “show, don’t tell,” etc.

    Hello, Harma. Thanks for “Liking” my whimsical little poem about talking to the animals, especially since nonfiction, rather than poetry, is my principle genre. Anyway, I have a lame question for you. I’ve noticed on your site and a few other blogs that you have a Blogroll in your sidebar, and I cannot figure out for the life of me how to add it to mine. Also, I like that your Recent Posts (and your Blogroll) are bulleted, which I also like. Any tips for a 65-year-old author who is still fighting his way into the electronic world?

    • Thanks for coming to look around! I wouldn’t post publicly online if I didn’t want people to creep around, so feel free to look away! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

    Interesting page — impressively prolific. I especially enjoyed your thoughts on LOTR and Macbeth.
