Rascal E. Riter is the creation of an obsessive-compulsive hypergraphic researcher-writer otherwise known as Dora McAlpin, but to whom I almost without exception apply the shorthand references of ‘I’ and ‘me.’
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I did a little newspaper and magazine work before finding my true vocation as a U.S. government analyst.
I write fiction in my free time.
Over the years, I’ve compiled a huge collection of information on the art and science as well as the business of writing.
I collected some of this to make my own life easier. I wanted quick access to important information. I wanted to avoid having to rediscover things I’d already learned.
I compiled additional parts of this catalogue of information for the benefit of other writers, my peers in writing groups and related forums.
Rascal E. Riter exists as a means to allow me to put this information as well as new discoveries together in one place and share it with those who might benefit.
It’s my hope that visitors will be willing to share their own insights.
We can all learn from each other.
