My sistah!
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I've written so truthfully, I'll either be a big star or make people hate me.Maybe both. And I really like nuts. But they don't make me, you know, die. If they did, I wouldn't. Probably. (I do have that Plath fangirl part of my past and "death is my gift" so who's to say.) There is a place on the ritzy side of town that makes the best brownies ever...lots of variety, stuff like that. Mostly they are second-string desserts. Ooh, death, nuts, and what I like to put in my mouth...How long till I'm LKH?

Power to the people! We shall overcome! Or have to make all our own brownies and cookies.

Because books.
I hate nuts in my brownies and chocolate chip cookies.
Me, too. And I actually have both, thankfully nut-less, in the house right now.

Inner Munchkin is crossing his legs right now at y'alls gleeful embrace of nutlessness.(Being in touch with my masculine side is beyond trying sometimes.)

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Glue your ass to the chair and write.
Yes, I do tell myself this, frequently. I listen to myself far less frequently, more's the pity.

Rejection? It's all in the game. (I stole "It's all in the game," from West Baltimore though. In that game people die more often than in our game.)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Say you're sitting high atop Writers' Mountain, being the guru. Students of writing toil up the hillside, to ask you for the One True Pearl of Wisdom that will shine the glow of enlightment on their labours.
One line, and one line only. Distill, please. What would you tell them?
Since Amy beat me to "write what you want to read," I'll say, "Create good characters--particularly an engaging, intriguing, and believable protagonist or two--and the readers will come."
At least this reader would.
And brownies and chocolate chip cookies shouldn't be mucked up with nuts. Nuts have their proper times and places, but not there.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Susan, as you know, I'm a humongous fan of characters with voices.
But you don't think there needs to be a road for them to travel? Would a corollary be in order?
