Cultural Appropriation for the Worried Writer: some practical advice by @jeannette_ng https://t.co/1DVcqZQUFG #WritingCommunity #amediting

[Scott Myers @GoIntoTheStory]

More than EVER, we need good storytellers. Put a human face on The Other. Shed light on a Deeper Truth. Engender Empathy. Fan the flames of Hope. Motivate people to Act. Make us Laugh. Make us Cry. Make us Thrilled. Make us Think. But mostly, make us feel our Shared Humanity.

A week away from completing another edit after a brutal but oh-so-necessary dev edit by the exceptional @EditorVMathews ... Taught me a "thing or two". ;-) So grateful. In about a week, my manuscript is going to the ARs. Join them here: https://t.co/BNoYrYKPW7 💃🕺

One of my favorite poems is "The Red Wheelbarrow" by William Carlos Williams. A fiction manuscript I'm giving feedback on today reminded me of this simple but impactful poem. #WritingCommunity #poetrylovers https://t.co/Mimy1pJ5l3
