Occasional digital artist, web engineer, podcaster. Perpetual mess.
Not actually a rabbit, despite all claims to the contrary.
someone might cry, if they had wilfully ignored the title, subtitle, blurb, introduction and entire contents of the book.
Aside from the content, which I haven't finished reading, I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the rhythm of this sentence.
I don't have anything to add to the conversation. But I want to say that your writing is really engaging!! Got me hooked up even though I'm not the intended public 
Waiting for the next part!!!
what. What is happening. every time i hear this woman's name it's like someone has uttered a curse that has sent me into bizarro world
Fingers crossed, I hope this book suggested having a real-life gay bestie to steal dialogue from
i have a question about the ‘giving a villain a redeeming quality’ thing! why does the book say its a negative thing? i thought it would mostly be a style choice!
i get that this book is not very good at giving advice but i can't come up with any reasoning for this at all :o
Hahaaaa this sounds awful. I have no idea if this is really apropos, but fwiw, a thing I learned in writing pedagogy is that one should avoid saying "don't do this." That is to say, it should typically be flipped into "do this instead."
Now, I'm not a pedagogy expert, I just listen to the folks who are lol, but it makes sense to me given what Iser said about negative statements, right? Plus of course all the sociological research into negative statements and how that plays into the course of people's lives.
All of that, I guess, is just me venting somewhat and then also saying this books sounds very awful lol
