Redditors Rise Up Against Holocaust Deniers

Sara - Hello, you're new! Welcome to Wizzley, though I do warn you that I'm a qualified historian myself - who has focused upon the Holocaust quite extensively - and therefore not the ideal person at which to throw pseudo histories. Just in ...

How to Turn an Idea Into a Fully Fledged Novel

I'm glad I came across this. I work more or less the way you do, adding layers and complexity, but I'm pretty haphazard about it. I think it would help if I worked with the summary and characters in a more formal way. A novel I'm just beginning ...

When is Beltane? Calculating the Date for your Beltane Handfasting

When is Beltane? Calculating the Date for your Beltane Handfasting

I'll let you know how it pans out. I'm hoping they'll have handouts, but that's because I like reading something I can refer back to. My logical-Spock writer's brain can then play around with comparisons and contrasts to its bear-of-little ...

Express Yourself: Fun Luggage Tags for All Styles of Travelers

Going to have to look for one of those to go with my rainbow luggage strap. My new case has not left the conservatory yet, but when it does you better believe it will do so with a funky tag on. I fancy the novelist's threat of writing their ...

When is Beltane? Calculating the Date for your Beltane Handfasting

The fashion these days seems to be for scientists to keep quiet on their beliefs. They may well have a major faith but choose not to share it. I think the media may have some part in that. Patient-facing medical staff, of course, are usually ...
