I believe that the best fiction is character-driven. Plotlines are of secondary importance, because if we don't care about the characters then the drama that unfolds around them fails to stir our interest. This division is really an artificial one, though, because within a good story the plot is an outgrowth of a writer's understanding of his or her protagonists' true natures. The adventure that beckons them is one that they need, or deserve, so the two are intertwined.

The holiday season is coming quickly and the time to write your seasonal articles is now. Personally, I am against making Christmas something that I do not believe it should be: a blatant commercial sell. For me, Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Yes, I know others celebrate Christmas differently or not at all and some celebrate the sell and not the Savior. Ultimately, the Christmas season is a terrific time to create holiday themed articles that get noticed, so here are some suggestions on how you can get started:

Have you ever found yourself reading or writing a word followed by a
word that has the same meaning? Close proximity comes to mind. Dont
beat yourself up. Some best selling authors and the venerable New
York Times are guilty of the same redundant evil. It just happens to
drive me crazy.

Some things just go better together than others. A thick, juicy, porterhouse steak with a glass of merlot floats my boat. Creamy peanut butter and homemade raspberry jam on toast with a tall glass of ice cold milk is another turn-on. But, what really excites me is a packet of yellow legal pads and a thick rubber-grip, ballpoint pen. It is difficult to imagine one without the other, like Lucy and Desi or Bogart and Bacall.

From time to time an opportunity to take on new assignments comes forward. In actuality, I am asked on a regular basis to accept various projects, but I generally turn them down especially if I am in the midst of a long term assignment as I have been for most of this calendar year.

Pay-for-Performance or Pay-per-Click Internet advertising is making big waves lately, and the two biggest players are Google and Overture, which was recently purchased by Yahoo. Microsoft has since joined the fray with MSN Search and there are numerous other fish (albeit tadpoles) in the pond.
