I'm dying to write a post about my 2nd novel that I just published, ROSEHEAD, but it's not available everywhere yet, and I have yet to post the free ebook files of it on my site, so I have to wait! Grr!!! Soon, soon! Meanwhile, I had this revelation while reading (of course, always). A tiny little thing, really, that adds to the post I wrote about how to write the perfect description. And how it didn't occur to me before, I don't know. I guess there is truth to the whole credo of write a lot, read a lot, and you will get better. The idea is simple. It's so simple, that I want someone slap me silly with a blimp full of pillows, or make me eat begonias, or, I don't know, paint all my socks green so I would remember this for the rest of my life, however long it is I have left to live. Are you ready? Here we go. (And if you've known this before, go ahead, split your midriff from laughing.)

TURN EVERY FUCKING THING INTO A NOUN.
