Thoughts on the Craft of Writing

I have often heard the expression that everyone has one great story to tell, one great book to write. I am sure this is true of many sentient being. Just because I have never heard of any great muvin authors, doesn’t mean that there aren’t any. It’s just that nobody ever reads muvin literature.

 

At any rate, I digress. I am extremely fortunate in that I carry not one, but many books within my soul. After all, as well as being an ambassador, I am considered by many, to be the finest writer on all Morn.

 

My advice to would be writers is to write one word at a time. Slowly, the words become sentences; the sentences become pages and the pages become a book. This works for me. It can work for you too.

Again you manage to insult Muvins. Have you never even heard of "Blood, Sword and Mayhem" by the renown muvin author, Bludigar Browl?

But why do I even bother to ask when I know perfectly well that the only books you read are the ones you write. This is perhaps prudent as no one else even picks up your books, let alone reads them.

Besides, your writing advice is auful! One word at a time indeed. My dear ambassador, the only sentient beings who could write several words simultaneously would be those who had many limbs.

Any suggestions on where to purchase a copy of "Blood, Sword and Mayhem"? The library always seeking ways to increase public awareness of minority and/or ethnic writers.

Mr. Alcott, I see that you are new to this blog. Would you care to drop by the missionary for a cup of tea?

[Theodore Alcott - Chief Librarian, Peabody Galactic Library]

My dear Ms. Fairweather,
I would be delighted to drop by the missionary for a cup of tea. I must warn you in advance though, that I am dropping by for the sole purpose of meeting you. I have not the slightest interest in religion. However, I am single.

What is this? Some sort of inter-galactic dating site?

I too, take offense at the thought of my forum being used as a means for missionaries and librarians to further their aquaintance. I insist on respect and decorum.
Incidentally, Mr. Alcott, you did not inquire about MY books for your library. You only expressed interest in that gory pulp novel "Blood, Sword and Mayen" - and that was only because it was written by a Muvin. Ha Ha what an oxymoron that is. A Muvin writer.
