People Can Say What They Like About

When You Are Reading, Someone Has Done A Lot Of Work On Your Behalf, Someone Has Had Ideas And Has Then Written And Corrected And Improved Them So That They Can Be Shared.

I Think I Am Too Interested In My Own Ideas To Copy Anyone Else's, But I Find That Other People's Imagery, The Flow Of Language In The Outside World, Games With Words, And Ideas About Relationships Are All Most Important To Me.

In A Way, The Characters Often Do Take Over.

Of Course There Are Big Differences In Length And Character And Vocabulary, But Each Level Has Its Particular Pleasures When It Comes To The Words One Can Use And The Way One Uses Them.

Try Not To Become Disappointed If Someone Doesn't Like A Story You've Written. Stick Up For Your Ideas, But Listen To What Other People Say, Too. They Might Have Good Advice.
