Synergy: Writing a Fiction Novel

For decades I thought of synergy -- when I thought of it connected to writing fiction novels -- as a contrived expedient. Flash that is trimming. Pomp and Circumstance only cheaper. Costume jewelry. 

There are masters of the literature class -- and yet even more masters out in the arms of the genres. Still, these rare artisans fail to call attention to the lack of art in popular novels. This is not to say that there is a massive shift in our culture centered on the methods of our communication.  No, it has been like this for a while.  This is why there are 'literary' novels, and popular genre novels. Synergy.

Affective Characters and Intense Relationships

Here are some tips for writing strong, compelling characters and relationships in your writing:

Narcissism and its impact on relationships

Introduction

Narcissism is a personality disorder characterized by a grandiose sense of self-importance, a need for excessive admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. Narcissists often have difficulty forming and maintaining healthy relationships, as they tend to be demanding, controlling, and manipulative.

One of the biggest challenges of being in a relationship with a narcissist is that they are often unable to see things from your perspective. They may be quick to blame you for their problems and refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. This can make it difficult to communicate effectively and resolve conflict.
