Tropes and a review of the book: "Bubba the Monster Hunter; Scattered, Smothered, and Chunked
May 03, 2022 13:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MBThe term trope actually is derived from the Greek word tropos. Tropos means to "turn or, direction, or way". Derived from the verb, it suggests that something is being turned, to directed, to altered, or changed in some way. By the way, tropes and their classification were an important field in classical rhetoric. If my sources are to be believed. Literary terms.net defines tropes as referring to any type of figure of speech, theme, image, character, or plot element that is used many ti...

March 22, 2022 13:00 - 22 minutes - 15.2 MBSo, you may ask yourself, how much am I writing? Well, Right now I am not writing a lot. I suppose that is only partially true.

What can you do when you suddenly find yourself in between writing projects. You will rightly ask yourself, “But Bryan, why not just start writing another project. I co...
Author Interview: Red Lagoe
March 08, 2022 14:00 - 51 minutes - 35.4 MBThink fast my writing friends. What would you say is the single most important aspect of your writing game aside from butt in chair making the words happen?

February 22, 2022 14:00 - 28 minutes - 19.5 MBI want to tell you that I am super happy with the way the edits to my book "The App" are coming along.

I'm also going to share with you an instance where I did not take her advice, although I did absolutely understand and value it.

Have you ever read a book that was so woefully lacking in any kind of hook that you put it down and never picked it up again? I most certainly have and if you have too, you are not in the minority.

Bryan, what...

A Book Review and I Reveal My Favorite Book of 2021
November 22, 2021 10:00 - 23 minutes - 16.2 MBI am ready to announce my award winner for best book I have read. Yep, I have a clear winner. And, to be honest, this was not even much of a competition. This year, I deem Mr. Ronald Mafi’s novel, Come With Me as my overwhelming winner. Seriously, I am not trying to make it sound like this is a commercial for the book, Come with me, but it is going to be unintentionally so. So, the big question is why did I like it so much? Imagine, if you can, careening down a path you thought you knew s...
On Writing Characters; A Few Quotes
November 06, 2021 13:00 - 23 minutes - 16.5 MBBut today I want to talk about Characters and where they come from. Recently, an article came out on a newsletter that I am a huge fan of, “Writer’s Write”. And it was basically a collection of quotes from famous authors about the issue of character development. It was a fascinating list and I want to read a few of them here for you and discuss them a little in terms of how they impact my own writing life. Naturally, I will share that link in the show notes for those people interested in t...
It's Halloween! So, what frightens me and why?
October 24, 2021 19:00 - 33 minutes - 22.9 MBWanna know what makes me afraid of things going bump in the night? Well, this time last year I did a show about what makes people scared. I thought that was a fairly interesting topic to talk about since it’s Halloween, and this is the time to be scared. I think my earliest memories about being scared probably were in a movie theater in Steger Illinois where we were watching a movie and I remember burying my head in the seat of the chair because I was terrified of whatever it was that was o...

When we go to Cons, authors do spend time talking with our colleagues about what is going on in the business. I lucked out to get a spot next to my next guest. Welcome to the show, Mr. Patrick Dugan!

A Writing Lesson From A Long Dead Gunslinger
June 05, 2021 13:00 - 25 minutes - 17.2 MBThe Impromptu Show: I was on my way to Glenwood Springs, Colorado. What’s in Glenwood Springs, you might ask? That is the last place that the world’s most famous dentist lived and where he died. The world’s most famous dentist? Why on earth would we even want to talk about the world’s most famous dentist? I did leave out the part where I should have said he is not famous for being a dentist. Of course, I’m referring to the legendary Dr. John Henry Holliday. Most people just knew him as D...
Go For The Gold; Today We Talk Awards
May 29, 2021 13:00 - 19 minutes - 13.1 MBNo, I am not talking about the Golden Globes or the People's Choice awards, I am talking about the literary awards which shine a light on your amazing work! Like me, you probably once thought that the New York Times bestsellers list was compiled by how many books were sold in the US. As it turns out, that’s only mostly true in terms of sales numbers. According to a recent New York Times article dated 23 September 2020, come hell or high water the New York Times list is published every Wed...
Can the setting be a protagonist? What the heck is he talking about now?
May 15, 2021 20:00 - 24 minutes - 16.7 MBHave you ever read a book where the world played as much of a role as the characters did? I don't mean strong writing in the sense of world building, I mean in the sense that the world itself was a living, breathing thing? How about characters who were as much a part of the world building in the sense that their dialogue actually made the scene work? Truth is that a lot of time we, as writers, intentionally blur the lines between setting and character. In Terry Brooks, "Magic Kingdom for S...
Writing while on vacation? Yes, you should.
May 08, 2021 13:00 - 22 minutes - 15.6 MBYou’re ready to go. You have your swim trunks packed, enough T-shirts to ensure you only have to wear them two days in a row. You recounted your underwear twice. And you’ve made sure you have access to your best socks. You remember to throw in your toothbrush, and off you go. Ready for a wonderful vacation. Or so you thought. Vacations don’t have to be a complete drain in your productivity. There are a few things you can do while you’re on vacation to ensure that you still are productive, w...
I've Been Rejected... And You Will Be Too
April 28, 2021 11:00 - 22 minutes - 15.5 MBWelcome to this next episode of All Things Writing. I am your host, Bryan Nowak. Do you hate rejection? Naturally, you do, we all hate rejection. However, rejection is a part of life when you are a writer. Most of us avoid rejection like we would avoid the day-old package of gas station sushi. And yet, dear writer, I am going to let you in on a little secret about rejection. You need it. Rejection hurts, but not as much as flat-out failure. Each rejection you get is like Thomas Edison’s p...

Show Versus Tell and What That Really Means
April 03, 2021 13:00 - 24 minutes - 16.6 MBShow versus tell... show versus tell... show versus tell... If we are true to ourselves, no other bit of writing advice has been given out more times than any other. Editors are perpetually yelling at us to show and not tell. For old hands at the wheel, we know it when we see it and usually say something. Editors have magic red pens that can write "Show... not tell" on your manuscripts automatically by saying some sort of incantation. For the rest of us in the world, we have wonderful ins...
Interview with my friend Ronald Malfi
March 27, 2021 13:00 - 35 minutes - 24.2 MBSome days are just cooler than others in all respects and this is one of those days. Why? You might ask? Well, I have as a guest today guy that I’m happy to call a friend and fellow horror writer. But his talents do not just stop there.

Join us as we talk about all kinds of different things. On this episode we talk about: H...
What is horror? What are the sub genres?
March 14, 2021 14:00 - 21 minutes - 14.7 MBBack to horror. Horror, at least the term horror, really is an umbrella. It covers a lot of different things from the stories which make you want to close the cover of the book and put it down to the stories that cause you to sniggle wildly at something that should not be funny, but is. Like a plant, shooting its head off. That to me is impossibly hilarious. Now the implications of the story are essentially that planet earth is doomed as an alien plant is about to take over the world, but st...
Chatting with Cozy Author Amy E. Lilly
March 06, 2021 21:00 - 39 minutes - 27.5 MBLast show was all about mysteries. We talked about different types of mysteries, stuff I have read, stuff I loved to read and some of you will remember I made an admission that day. I admitted to liking a good cozy mystery from time to time. Which brings me to something amazing that happened. I am so happy to announce my next guest, someone who wrote a book I loved, called “Death is Long Overdue.” So yes, I am talking about the wonderful Amy E. Lilly. In this episode we talk about all kind...
What exactly is a mystery?
February 20, 2021 23:00 - 24 minutes - 17.1 MBWelcome to the show! So, what the heck is a mystery? I would love to claim to have come up with all of this stuff myself, but I didn't. Valerie Peterson wrote a wonderful article on the topic. So good, in fact that I would have a hard time improving on it. So, instead of doing that, I am going to follow her outline closely and add my own commentary. But You Can Read The Article Here I think we can all agree that ultimately when we write or read a Mystery the most important element of th...
A Sneak Peak at My Vampire Novel, The App
February 13, 2021 14:00 - 27 minutes - 18.7 MBAs a reminder, if there is any topic you want me to cover on the show, I am more than happy to entertain requests.

Most of you are listening to me on iheart radio. Love iheart radio, and no they did not pay me to say that. I actually do listen to iheart radio as well as SyriusXM when I listen to tunes or...
Talking ISBN and How the Heck It Ever Came Into Being
January 31, 2021 17:00 - 17 minutes - 11.9 MBHey everyone and welcome to this, our fourth show of the season. I want to thank all of you for joining me today. Welcome to a cold and snowy day out here in Northern Virginia (at least when I recorded this). On this episode I give you a quick update on what is going on in the life of Bryan the Writer and then I launch into a discussion about ISBN. Not necessarily what it is, but where did it come from in the first place. You know the company as R.R. Bowker. But do you know who R.R. Bowke...
