Let’s talk about intent, motivation, and dedication, and how they guide your personal writing journey. How important are reviews to your writing journey? |
| Sometimes even a wildly-nutty attack can lead to a whole different storyline. I'm good with anything not a personal insult. |
| More useful than important. We have a good community here, reviews are generally helpful. Helps determine what goes into my newsletter. Gives a potential reader what to expect. |

Writing short stories. Do your shorts have shorts? |
N.A Miller  - Regular shorts with enough pockets. I could say underwear as shorts but I call them underwear.  |
Anniversaries are not just calendar dates. In romance stories, they serve as emotional milestones. Are anniversaries important to you? |
| They are good times to reflect, other than that, not particularly important. Back in my 20s on a Valentines day (anniversary-like) I stopped at Rite-Aid on my way home from work to pick up cards and whatever else I could find for my then girlfriend and her daughter. As this was past 6pm the card section was nearly empty. Myself and another guy where picking through the dregs. He found one, started walking away, stopped and turned to me and said "See you next year.". |
Writing.Com's Reference Guide celebrates its 15th anniversary this month. How many times do you use "Writing.Com 101" on a weekly basis? |
I've only consulted it twice or thrice my whole time here. I rarely use it, and for the same reason I prefer to stumble over furniture at night rather than use a light. It's obviously best that way because... umm... best because... I'll look it up in Writing.com 101 --- as soon as I grab a flashlight. |
