Writing about Saints, Sin and Satan

"There’s no need to mention here that Satan is an equal-opportunity tempter. Plenty to go around for all."

From my latest article at Our Sunday Visitor Newsweekly.

"Saintly Advice on Kicking Sin to the Curb"

God is laughing at you. No. Wait. With you.

Just keep writing (and laughing).

Revamped Website (Not to speak ill of the old vamp)

I've updated my website which had been running on Windows 95. No, not quite. It's now mobile-friendly but its owner remains a little cold.

www.BillDodds.com

It is interesting to note (a phrase used here so I'll sound more academic than I ever have  been or will be) there has never been a vampire in any of my novels. Perhaps it's time for:

The Prodigal Vampire

A Tale of Two Vampires

Jonathan Livingstone Vampire

Vampire and Gretel

How the Vampire Stole Christmas

Twilight

Give the editors what they ask for!

I pitched this article as "10 Ways" but then got too wordy and ended up with only 8 to get the word count right.

It's good to stick to word counts if you want to keep editors happy. As a magazine editor, I had freelancers submit material that was a good 50 percent above the word count. One told me, "This is longer than what you asked for but I assume it's easier for you to cut copy than have to add it.

No-o-o-o-o . . .

It's easier for me if you give me what I asked for.

A Caregiver's Summer

My latest "Dear Friends" letter at YourAgingParent.com. That site is part of the non-profit my late wife, Monica, and I started in 2005. That's when we began the Friends of St. John the Caregiver.
