Being fasinated by the criminal mind, Ms LeRoux has read and researched those who continue to sprout up in our society. Serial killers, such as Bundy and Berkowits, just to name two of the many. The causes of their behavior have been childhood abuses in many cases. And many others who may have had a similiar backgrounds; have not turned to such horrors. Thus the birth of "Detective Colter - Stalker Anthology."

I have a section call “Story Store” where readers may order ebooks of original short stories of fiction mystery, suspense thrillers. Non-fiction about family (a free gift with each order) which many can relate to. Especially if there are twins in the family. There is a page of “Articles” on writing and a “Writers Info” page with information on how to write, market, and promote your site; a page with reference links to information on writing fiction, copywriting, photography and more. Enjoy your visit. Grab a cup of coffee, relax and browse till your hearts content.

TENACITY

A word that might be linked to the personality of a writer. Whether they be fiction, non-fiction, travel, copywriter, columnist, science fiction, mystery, suspense thriller and the list goes on and on. The one thing they all have in common is “tenacity.” Or some may call it dedication, determination or maybe something else.

Without the above, would anyone become a writer? A good question. Being a writer is a lonely profession, and requires solitude most of the time. I say most of the time, because there have been times where chaos gave birth to some of my most devastating crime scenes.

I write suspense thrillers, mysteries and non-fiction in short story form. Why short stories, you say. Well, because I love short stories. My reading as a child (as with all children) started with short stories. Remember “look at Jane run.”

There is one writer that comes to mind vividly. His name is Steven, and the son of long and dear friends. I became aware of Steven’s desire to write, when, one day I was visiting his mother. She was very concerned about his always on his computer, writing. Stevens was in his twenties then. Now, being a writer myself I didn’t find this strange at all. However, his mother was and constantly wanted to know why he just couldn’t go out and find a “real” job. We all know how that goes. Years go by and still Steven keep writing. He form was, and is, “plays.” Just recently he signed a contract with a producer to put his plays on off-Broadway theaters. Now Steven is in his forties and the road was long and difficult, but he did it. Now that is what I call tenacity. He could have been warn down by the attitude of others, but he keep going and finally is seeing his plays produced.

I saw Steven and his family only a month ago when I got the news. I was so excited for him. I knew how hard he worked and the sacrifices he made to get to this point in his writing. He worked hard to achieve the recognition he so much deserves. Good Luck Steven and Congratulations.

How To Write An Article In 15 Minutes

By: Brett Michael

It is 3:00 as I sit down to write this article off the top of my head. So how am I going to write an informative article that is not just full of empty words?

That is the easy part. I know what I want to write about. I know that I want to tell my audience how to write an article in a short period of time. It is not intended to cover a particular article topic per se other than demonstrating how I am going to write an article in 15 minutes. It is intended to help you to understand how simple the approach is.

First, as I have done here, decide what you want to write about. In my case, I have decided that I want to write about how to write an article in 15 minutes. So, that is my article topic and it is also my article title. It is now 3:06.

Then I want to introduce the main idea of this article. I have done this by first introducing the whole point of this article in the opening summary. I also used the brief description to indicate that you should approach writing the article like a puzzle. When I was a kid, I sifted through the 5,000 piece cardboard puzzle box to find the straight pieces and ends. Once I completed the framework, I worked my way inwards. The concept is similar. It is now 3:08.

As I start to work inwards, metaphorically speaking, I am able to provide a good example of how to approach the logistics of writing an article quickly. Again, it is not about a particle article topic as much as how to write one quickly.

All you need to know is what you want to share with your audience. Do not get hung up on every little word. Pretend you are in a chat room. You can proof later. I am not saying that you can write, proofread, and distribute the article in 15 minutes. This article is only about writing an article in 15 minutes. If you are not able to think off the top of your head and type very quickly as I can, then do some preliminary research on a topic and then do what I am doing. Sit down and bang it out. You can always fine-tune the article afterwards. But at least you will cover the groundwork. It is now 3:12.

To make any article interesting, you should keep things short and to the point. Keep your sentences brief and communicate in a down to earth, conversational tone to keep the reader engaged. No one likes a snobby person. At the same time, share your knowledge and leave the reader with a feeling that they learned something and did not waste 15 minutes of their time reading your article. It is now 3:14.

Thank you for joining me in this quick writing exercise. I hope my demonstration has made an impact on you and has inspired you to write quickly and confidently. It is now 3:15. I will proofread now before sending this off.

P.S. I spent an additional five minutes adding a few words here and there. But, I was able to get 98% of the article written in the allotted time that I set for myself. Build up your skills like a bodybuilder does. First set an hour for yourself and then reduce your time limit as your gain the skills you need.
