Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for November 07, 2024

You need less as sis tance

Write something boring it will seem longer.

What happened after Zoe stole Hammie’s candy? They behaved as if Hammie agreed to something, but there was no agreement, so it was outright theft.

Hammie, Writing is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration so I have heard!

Hammie, going to Zoe for advice is like a conservative going to the mainstream media expecting an objective opinion.

Not for me ;-))

Hammie: I want a second opinion!

Zoe: OK, you smell bad too.

Expanding a great short story to novel length usually just kills it.

My son hated it, he was a linear thinker. He liked math, science, etc. He was class valedictorian in HS, he got straight A’s in college, put himself through with grants and scholarships, didn’t owe a penny when he graduated with three engineering degrees.You’ll do okay, Hammie, you just have to find your niche!

I’m not sure Zoe is an objective reviewer, though.

Too much can be too much

They said the same thing to Hemingway when he first began to write. It was Claude Hemingway, not Earnest, but still.

Hammie – “Good, then it’s perfect.”
