“Dialogue that is written in dialect is very tiring to read. If you can do it brilliantly, fine. If other writers read your work and rave about your use of dialect, go for it. But be positive that you do it well, because otherwise it is a lot of work to read short stories or novels that are written in dialect. It makes our necks feel funny.” IfsFeelsWritingWellsStoriesUseCan DoNovelWrittenFineDialogueNecksShort StoryYou Can Do ItTireBeing PositiveDialectRave Author:Anne Lamott
“A poet can feel free, in my estimation, to write a poem for himself. Or a painter can paint a painting for himself. You can write a short story for yourself. But for me, comedy by its nature is communal. If other people don't get it, I'm not sure why you are doing it.” PeopleIfsFeelsWritingStoriesComedyPaintingPoetPaintPainterNot SureShort StoryEstimation Author:Keegan-Michael Key
