Police Officers and Second Jobs/Alternative Jobs
Graham Maranda
Police Officers and Second Jobs/Alternative Jobs Like many other people in the community, police officers sometimes have second (and even third) jobs. Is this officially sanctioned? What rules are there about secondary employment? And what kinds of jobs are police officers or ex-police officers likely to take up? Graham Maranda gives us some insights into this interesting question... . . . keep reading
A Word or Two About: Creating meaning simply and elegantly
Lynda Davies
A Word or Two About: 
Creating meaning simply and elegantly We write because we have something to say. Regardless of the type of writing we employ, being able to tell our audience what we mean is of critical importance. It's true of fiction, biography, departmental report or email. In this article I'm going to focus on 'audience' and 'meaning', exploring why I believe they're so important to good writing, and looking at ways we can create meaning simply and elegantly in fiction. . . . keep reading
General Duty Police What They Do
Graham Maranda
General Duty Police 
What They Do Recently, I stumbled upon a report prepared by the NSW Auditor-General in 2000 titled 'Performance Audit - Managing Injured Police - NSW Police'. It included an annexure of the 'Inherent requirements of a General Duties police officer'. This formal break-down provides a clear overview of what front line policing entails. I suggest these 'inherent requirements' are consistent for all front line Australian police. . . . keep reading

The Building Blocks of Crime Fiction
Marg McAlister
The Building Blocks of Crime Fiction For writers who are new to crime fiction, one of the biggest pitfalls is building a plot on a flimsy premise. The following guidelines will help to ensure that the basic plot of a crime fiction novel works. The quality of the finished book is, of course, dependent on the talent of the writer - but at least this will ensure that the framework of the book is realistic. . . . keep reading
Getting a Novel Right Part 2 - Redrafting
Marg McAlister
Getting a Novel Right Part 2 - Redrafting At one time or another, you're bound to read through something you've written and realise with a dreadful sinking feeling that it Just Doesn't Work. The temptation is to ignore this knowledge and pretend it isn't so. Understandable enough. No-one wants to admit that months (or years) of hard work has just gone down the drain. . . . keep reading
Getting a Novel Right Part 1 - Rewriting
Marg McAlister
Getting a Novel Right Part 1 - Rewriting When you finish your novel, resist the impulse to simply bundle the thing up and send it away with a kiss and a prayer. You should check your novel from several different angles: first, the obvious things like spelling, typographical errors and grammar, then the not-so-obvious things like characterisation, motivation, style, transitions and flashbacks. . . . keep reading

Judy Vorfeld
Homonyms, Homophones, Homographs & Heteronyms If you're confused by words that sound similar but have totally different meanings, you're not alone! This article explains the difference between homonyms, homophones, homgraphs and heteronyms... and lists some confusing word pairs and even some confusing word triplets! . . . keep reading
