Teresa K. Thorne commented on the blog post '[REALITY CHECK] - Publishing & Professional Courtesy'
"@Beth,
A good point. I have to confess to being Twitter illiterate and apparently naive. I am shocked that agents would identify a writer and make derogatory comments. I have seen some instances where they posted a "bad"…"
Teresa K. Thorne commented on the blog post '[REALITY CHECK] - Publishing & Professional Courtesy'
"Totally agree with this. It is human nature to want to voice your disappointments and anger, but once you have uttered it, you cannot recall it. This is true verbally, as well as written word, but the written word lives longer...perhaps…"
Teresa K. Thorne commented on the blog post 'The dreaded "who vs. whom"'
"Thanks for this. It clears up 99% of the problem, but I still have a question.
[Warning: Grammar Talk alert]
I am usually clear, but occasionally get stumped when there is a clause whose subject is a "who" or "whom" and the…"

Did Jesus Have a Wife?
Did Jesus have a wife?I live in the Deep South where it is customary to hear prayer “in Jesus’ name” at city functions. Many people here are startled at the idea that anyone could actually have different religious views. Not that this attitude is at all mean-spirited; it is just an assumption. There doesn't seem to be much…See More

How Do You Know if You Are a "Real" Writer?
How do you know? This question has plagued me for a long time, and I saw it recently on a writing web site, so I am not the only one who has asked it. For a long time, I was unpublished and wrote in the “closet.” I was afraid if I admitted to doing it (writing, folks) I would have to face that dreaded question: “Oh, what have you published?” To which, I’d have to say, “Well, nothing… but my mother loves my stuff.” And then go crawl under a rock.I’m sure there are people out there for whom…See More

The Stay Alive Rule or What's a Writer To Do?
We are hard-wired to want it simple. Long ago (400 million years) there was only one basic premise under which we operated –Stay Alive! The conscious part of our brains was evolutionarily geared for simplicity, so we could decide things like where to go hunt and not worry about how to make our bodies get there. Even today, we don’t ponder how to, say, drink a cup of coffee. We are happily oblivious of all the electronic, chemical, and muscular complexities required to accomplish the tasks of…See More

"Why do I write? The answer to this question lies in a place so deep, I would drown before I reached it."

You Never Know....
There’s a lot to worry about.We are worried our investment dollars may not poof back into existence when they poof out. We worry about inflation and that gas prices are too high, or about deflation and that they will go too low. Writers worry that our stuff will not be good enough, or read enough, or we will have “writer’s block” and not write enough, or will write too much and have to cut … and (yikes!) what if we cut the wrong stuff? We worry that agents or editors won’t love us or, if we…See More
