    Streak writing solidarity man! Rightly or wrongly, I don't believe you can teach creative writing, since it emanates from each individual consciousness and subjectivity. I mean you can teach grammar and spelling, but not anything else. Each writer will find their own way of writing, that drives them through to typing 'the end' on the MS and their on MO for the style and content itself.

      Put writers to work, but don't let them teach.

    Any time writers are gathered in any type of community setting mostly bad things happen.

      @@williamgass9242 Every time they organize, someone gets cancelled like they're living through Mean Girls. Take the Horror Writers Association. They can't help themselves. They' always have to be ending someone's career or trying to. Every renegade author we look to as a leading example would not be published today due to writers in knitting circles.

      This statement wasn't even true at Iowa. Mostly good things happened while I was there. Among writers.

    Is it just me or do you only publish non-genre fiction? I can't quite get a feel for the kind of books you release. They feel kind of like 'try hard' literature, no offense.

      If you haven't read anything, maybe don't insult them. Makes you look try-hard dumb.

      Maybe you should try harder

      offense taken. bizarre post. have you read any of our books? if so, which ones. only an asshole would publicly type "'try hard' literature" and believe he (if not a he a rancid sheep in his clothing) has said something. Do you, no offense unacceptable, think you said something?

      What was the criticism? You seemed to bungle an attempt to critique the press, over 40 authors. As for authorial sensitivity, read one of my books and try me. You won't, because you're trolling about void of ideas. You have some vague feeling it would be meaningful to mutter incoherencies, like the lowest of online disgruntled inepts who can't grasp the pointlessness of the exercise.
