Cleveland W. Gibson replied to SR Clowes's discussion 'Tara and the Pussycats investigate. By S R Clowes' in the group Book Excerpts"I'm a fan of development editing. All through your prelude I thought it too long.(My opinion). I looked for the 'Hook' and it wasn't there. Next the conflict. Why should the reader care about the character? Money? Greed?…"

Cleveland W. Gibson replied to Keith Osborne's discussion '"Mugyo"' in the group Book Excerpts"As it stands, after I read your short piece, you have an interesting story.
Returning to the first paragraph there are too many details which ought
to be displaced further down the novel as a back story.
You need to write a 'hook' and…"

Cleveland W. Gibson replied to Carly Jean Montgomery-Wildermuth's discussion 'Hell' in the group Poetry"To kind of answer your question , if it is in distance , time and space then Hell will only exist if we let it.
Perhaps it isn't there?
If it is then it must be Us who says so. Our very thoughts make it exist. No reflection on God. He has his…"

G.G. Vandagriff said… Hello, Cleveland. We share a last name. My maiden name is Gibson, the G in G.G.
As a genealogist, I'd love to know where you are from!

Ah, sorry. Just saw you are from one of my favorite places--Oxfordshire in the UK.My Gibsons immigrated to the US from England some time around the war for independence, I believe. It is my most allusive (is that the right word?) line. I love Thrillers, if they aren't too hard-edged. Leslie Charteris is about my speed, too. I've written and published one that takes place in Oxford and Wales, but have always been dissatisfied with it. It's the only one of my books to get stinky reviews, so no doubt I deserved them.

Hi Cleveland,
I was struggling to add depth to one of my characters in particular and people on the site have been extremely helpful with suggestions and ideas. Hopefully this will go a long way to help me improve as a writer.
Regards
Dave
