Common Problems in Your Short Stories, and How to Fix ThemOne of the most common problems I see in new writers and short fiction is when something essential is missing. Basing my teachings over the past 10 years on Freytag's Pyramid, if your story isn't working, it's usually one of a few key elements: narrative hooks, inciting incidents, conflicts, and resolutions (with denouements). We'll discuss the mechanics, and diagnosis, with some suggestions on how to fix those key areas. Instructor: Richard Thomas is

One of the most common problems I see in new writers and short fiction is when something essential is missing. Basing my teachings over the past 10 years on Freytag's Pyramid, if your story isn't working, it's usually one of a few key elements: narrative hooks, inciting incidents, conflicts, and resolutions (with denouements). We'll discuss the mechanics, and diagnosis, with some suggestions on how to fix those key areas.

His over 175 stories in print include The Best Horror of the Year (Volume Eleven), Cemetery Dance (twice), Behold!: Oddities, Curiosities and Undefinable Wonders (Bram Stoker Award winner), The Hideous Book of Hidden Horrors (Shirley Jackson Award winner), Lightspeed, PANK, storySouth, Gargoyle, Weird Fiction Review, Midwestern Gothic, Shallow Creek, The Seven Deadliest, Gutted: Beautiful Horror Stories, Qualia Nous (#1&2), Chiral Mad (#2-4), PRISMS, Pantheon, and Shivers VI.

Perfect for master bath
Beyond my expectations. The handsoap is actually a little exfoilating which is nice. Both smell terrific although the set is on the pricey side but worth it.

Obsessed with This Soap & Lotion!
This hand wash and lotion set smells lovely and feels great on my skin. The hand wash gently cleans without drying, and the lotion leaves my hands soft and smooth all day.

Defective/broken nozzles!!!
I love this company and product but I ordered a set and the lotion nozzle was defective - Spins but doesn’t open. I ordered a replacement and the lotion nozzle is defective AGAIN and the soap nozzle is cracked and broken. Very disappointed. This is not the sellers fault as the product comes wrapped from the manufacturer. But beware.

Pumps do not work at all
I planned on replacing the pumps with something more lux anyways, but if you don’t plan on doing that, do not buy these. The pumps do not work at all. They’re completely defective. Insane these don’t go through better quality control for how much they cost.
