@LKate_Montierth I just watched an episode of The Sandman where Neil Gaiman wrote about a writer with writer's block. You know, like all the mags and competitions tell you not to do. So I think like all the rules of writing, this rule is entirely bendable. Or explodable.

Writerly thought for the day, "kill your darlings," (apparently Faulkner and Stephen King.) That problem I had with the short story I was writing? Completely solved by tearing up the last half of it... Ouch, But also, Wow... https://t.co/GfTZKjEDTP

@country_heart14 @Profess48893722 I’m here with one of mine and I’m going with some advice from Stephen King. He says sometimes a story is a cup without a handle, and you have to put it away and wait until you come across the right handle. Sometimes that takes years, so you’re not abandoning, just waiting.

@DGBarnes3 Ah, Christina Rossetti is one of my faves! Ooooh - have you read Goblin Market by her? You'd LOVE it! Very implicitly sapphic!

Anyone know of a book similar to The Trouble With Lemons by Daniel Hayes? Similar level of difficulty, age of MC and exciting plot? Google gave me “The Hobbit” and Wiesel’s “Night”! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@Askwhyisit Have you read “The Dyer’s Hand” by Auden? Much more interesting on this subject than anything I could say.

@YouDidntKnowDat Not exactly a new revelation. Philippa Gregory wrote about this in The Boleyn Inheritance (I think?)
