Don’t Drag Out Your Novel Ending

I used to make fun of mystery novel climax scenes, where the killer has the sleuth trapped and, instead of shooting him and escaping, the bad guy explains the reasons for the murder, giving the sleuth time to capture him. This is clearly a device to inform readers rather than realistic bad guy behaviour. But when I wrote my first mystery novel, A Deadly Fall, I understood the value of this literary trope. -Susan Calder, A Deadly Fall Opal Writers Magazine MAY 2022

No ME Time

No ME Time, by Liberty Forrest In my line of work (helping people get unstuck and moving forward in their lives), clients are always telling me about how insanely busy they are. They say, "I have no 'me time' at all!" They're exhausted. Fed up with responsibilities, and with everyone and everything else coming first and needing their attention. Well, the truth is, if everyone and everything else is coming first, it's only because these people are allowing it. You don't just "find time" for yourself. You have to take it.

Writing Midrash for the Book of Ruth

My husband Milton and I will lead a Midrash writing group based on The Book of Ruth, the Hebrew Bible’s shortest book, actually a short story. In ancient times, rabbis wrote elaborations on biblical lines as if they were writing prompts. Midrashim, from the Hebrew root “daras” meaning “expound, ”are imaginative extensions of biblical texts that fill in whatever the author senses can be added to extract deeper meanings. -SHARON LEDER Opal Writers Magazine | May 2022 This episode is also available as a blog post: https://opalpublishing.ca/2022/05/19/writing-midrash-for-the-book-of-ruth/
