About Me

I would rather write about this blog than about myself, but for the sake of curiosity... I am Brendan Wright. I would like to think of myself as a writer and author. Author of what exactly? At the moment, nothing, but it is a work in progress.

I have a wife (I will rather not add an adjective here), a dog that thinks it's a cat and a weird bird. They are my biggest fans and critics, mainly because they are my only fans and critics. I like writing in the opposite way everyone tells us to. I believe there is no wrong or right way, as long as people understand what you are trying to say, we should be allowed to write from the heart and therefore however we want. Writing is expression and art.
"Writing is telling a story, and the only one who knows and understands that story is the writer. How can someone tell you how to write your story, which they don't know?" ~ Me
Where this blog is named after me, it is now a collaborative with my wife (who wishes to stay anonymous). We work together to bring you creative things through writing, photography and drawing.

The Vision

I know the difficulty of trying to get a book published through the traditional methods as well as self-publishing. Both have their own positives and negatives, and both have their own set of difficulties. Help is often costly and offers no guarantee, which often dissuades writers.

While no one can truly guarantee anyone's success, there should be less costly help. My vision is to help not only myself, but other authors who are struggling to get their work out there. This blog can be used as a platform for other authors to showcase parts of their stories, poems and books. I can also add links to where you are selling your book.*

This offered help is for free, but to keep this vision alive, I will ask that everyone who are interested stick to what I accept, clean, good stories, poems and books. Feel free to contact me for more information.

*I do not accept any books, stories, ideas and poems that includes profanity, bad language, blasphemy and racism.

Grammar Geek: Is It Believe In, Believe On or Believe That?

Since last week's post was on believe or belief , I decided to ask whether it's believe in , believe on  or believe that . All of these are correct and do get used. The questions are when, where, why and how. Here it is in what I hope is the simplest way to explain it and the easiest way to remember it. Believe In and Believe That Correlation A certain professor, H. H. Price , came to the conclusion that there is a difference between believe in  and believe that . To him, it came down to this, “Surely belief-in is an attitude to a person, whether human or divine, while belief-that is just an attitude to a proposition?” This makes perfect sense considering the words in and that . Personally, in  sounds a lot more involved and personal, whereas that  seems distant. Get that  away from me. Come on in . That might just be me though. However, this view might make things easier. What if this thinking was indeed the correct manner? To believe in someone is ...

Grammar Geek: When to Use Who or Whom

When to use who or whom can be either complicated or simplistic. It is always best to know the rules and thus the complicated version before you go for the easy, cheat version. This way, you will know you are right, every time. When to Use Who or Whom: Know your Grammar The complicated version calls for our memories of English grammar classes; those classes we slept through. To know who and whom , you need to know their place in the English language. Welcome back to your English class. Study hard! Who and Whoever: The Subjective Pronouns "Subjective pronouns" sounds more dramatic than it needs to. In a less wordy manner, who and whoever are subjects in a sentence. When I was in school, I was taught that the subject is the one doing the action. The verb of the sentence is this "action". Here are some examples: Who knows the answer? Who will go to class? The purple is the subject, as it is the one doing the action. The action (verb) is in gold. Sadly...

Word Wise: Should I Use Further or Farther

Today's grammar-focused question is: Should I use further or farther ? As writers, we want people to enjoy our books. Even though readers would not necessarily care whether you use further  or farther , it might affect readability if used incorrectly. This is why I thought it is best to help you decide on which one to use. Does "further" or "farther" tell you about distance? There has been plenty of discussions about these two words. They are often regarded as equals, which can be used interchangeably. Yet there are a few posts I have come across in my research who can easily say how they differ. As always, it is best we know much before we come to a decision. Further and Farther in UK English It's well-known that US and UK English differs. There is no exception with the use of further  and farther . The Oxford Dictionary has this to say: Both words share the same roots. [T]here is no difference in meaning, and both are equally correct. Furth...
