I’m pleased to announce that my craft essay “The Five Percent Rule” has been accepted by The Artist Unleashed, an online journal that publishes short articles (1,000 words maximum) aimed at inspiring, motivating, and/or advising writers and artists in all media. My piece describes how I narrow down the vast trove of historical research I collect to the small amount that actually makes it into a work of fiction (including how the unused information does not go to waste, but appears in other NOVELS, SHORT STORIES, and/or BEHIND THE STORY). Check back here for the link when the essay goes online November 1st. Meanwhile you can read published pieces at The Artist Unleashed website http://www.theartistunleashed.com/.
