@chris_bates1974 @MarcusNGPOD1 @lucy_hunt With respect, do you also respond to all of your snail mail? What about the letter hand signed by the insurance agent promising you better rates? Do you reply with a letter or phone call stating you are not interested?

@MattFnWallace @Kara_Reynolds7 Depends... is it a "grilled cheese" sandwich, or a grilled "cheese sandwich"?

[The LetterWorks @The_LetterWorks]

@MattFnWallace How about toasted almonds? Or Fried green tomatoes?

@csilverauthor For "self published" fiction stories, see https://t.co/0ZWp6Gbwc0. It is a creation for adding stories anytime. Like a blog, but meant specifically for stories (can download any story as an ebook, pdf, etc.) Being published doesn't mean it has to be on paper.

OMG. Prince on Ayn Rand:

We have to dismantle ‘The Fountainhead’ brick by brick. It’s like the aristocrats’ bible. It’s a compound of problems. They basically want to eliminate paradise,” he said. “We should attack the whole notion of supremacy.”

"the sexy lamp test holds ‘if you can replace yr female character with a sexy lamp & the story still basically works, maybe u need another draft.’ If you can replace your ethnic minority character w a teddy bear that says ‘I believe in you!’, that may also need another draft."

@awheeler2017 @holymellEdits You can please some of the people all of the time, or all of the people some of the time... Your main character doesn't have to be (and probably shouldn't be) normal. People don't want to read normal, they want to escape. Go with your gut!

My husband told me I write in “long gazes and furious bursts.”

When I asked what that meant, he did...this.

Also, please note the backspacing segment in which I apparently delete most of what I’ve just drafted.

Here is a shout out to @odonnellsl_ for the inspiration of our latest blog post: A National Voice: Bringing Your Character Home at https://t.co/tJzzY0y1Ot. Thank you for the intriguing question!

But not the first draft-dodger president. That ground has already been broken with President Clinton.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

Truer words never spoken. Hard to believe any armed services vets can continue to support the draft-dodger president.

@1handsomebandit If you don't have a story or plot already in mind, try what a lot of writers start with; fan-fiction (e.g., https://t.co/mYGC7t1tXc). The world & characters are already built, you can just practice within a framework. When ready for your own, you will have experience already.
