Today in Comics History: Happy 90th birthday to the great John Romita, who was born on January 24, 1930. "Jazzy" Johnny's appealing style and storytelling abilities made him uniquely suited to follow Jack and Steve on the FF and ASM. Face it, tigers--we ALL just hit the jackpot!
No love for the folks who would rather see a cactus?😛
Perhaps some incentive is needed. "If you don't eat an oyster, you won't get any vegan durian ice cream for dessert."
Seeking parenting advise. My (generally) wonderful daughter, 6, will NOT eat freshly-shucked raw oysters! I shuck! I demonstrate the proper direct-from-shell slurping technique. "Yucky!" she exclaims--like a philistine! Any tips?
This is going to become a thing, I can tell. ;)
“Remember: when people tell you something’s wrong or doesn’t work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.”--Neil Gaiman #amwriting

I think it’s terribly dangerous for an artist to fulfill other people’s expectations. They generally produce their worst work when they do that. —David Bowie—
“If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it. Or, if proper usage gets in the way, it may have to go. I can't allow what we learned in English composition to disrupt the sound and rhythm of the narrative.”--Elmore Leonard #amwriting
A little encouragement for EVERY writer today... #amwriting #WritingCommunity #TuesdayMotivation
For me, Joshua Deets from Lonesome Dove.
Your hook must be organic. Teasing readers with a killer opening line (“Mimi was dying again”) only to reveal all is not as seems (turns out Mimi is an actress performing her 187th death scene) not only negates the power of your hook, it also betrays readers’ trust. #writetip
Some things are just worth celebrating
Because your ability to convince the reader to keep reading is dependent on your hook, it must be present as early as possible in your first scene. In fact, if you can get it into your first line, so much the better. #writetip
