This must be really, really good. She's so beautiful it almost made me cry!

[@solitaire1423]

"things that you can finish". it's just the intro and she already gave a perfect tip for writing.

[@videowilliams]

Reminding me of another writer's saying that "I don't enjoy writing. I enjoy having written."

[@Kevin-jc1fx]

Writing is an amazing medium of expression and of self discovery.

[@mikewright3029]

finally understanding the structure and how to put a story together.
i feel this is going to help me go deeper. she's making a lot of sense.

[@hilbertpjanic7986]

She is 83 years old? OMG.

[@RyseMaxwell]

She looks, acts, and speaks younger than her age. I thought she's younger than Margaret Atwood

Hi, i just want to ask if Joyce Carol Oates really made it because the book is good or because she joined some “insider” network.. because i could google that she joined Fraternity, Phi Mu Sorority when she was at college

[@purpleplant9515]

[@terry.morgenstern]

As Gore Vidal famously stated, the three saddest words in the English language are "Joyce Carol Oates".

[@distortedfeatures]

Why is that? Never read her works.

[@celiachan7561]

I read her Blonde, rather overrated in my opinion on her writing, not worth reading the rest of her stuff.
