I love how you mention mixing it up from time to time. I think that also helps build chops and find your voice.

All you fearful writers out there - fear not. Go CYBER-meet people. Also, get outside, would you? You're going to turn into vampires. Go hit on a hot guy on the hiking trail or something. Or a girl, you know. Whichever way you roll. Jody - Excellent. I will compete with McEwan any day. Michele - Aw. I just blushed. Say it again! Mark - 'S right. Did you hear that, James? I am the BOSS. Jarie - Remember the dog's name, huh? I like the advice about asking questions, that's true. You just have to be careful to guide the conversation, instead of taking it over entirely and simply reinforcing what you think you already know. The point is to learn, not teach.

An old reporter trick is to "remember to get the dogs name". Just talking is not enough. Asking the right questions and sometimes just being quiet, will give you incredible insights into what people are emotional and passionate about.

It has nothing to do with anybody's mother either. It has everything to do why women are the BOSS. Just one of life's facts. Accept it - life gets way more easier that way. :) Yes, great line – “Practice until you have them dancing to your fiddle whenever you want.”

It's so vivid and fairy taleish that it makes me think of fiction. And it makes me realize that the fiction I find most moving is really tightly structured. I love when writers use a lot of restraint and never gush--I think of Ian McEwan, Henry James, Rohinton Mistry.... I love the theme of this series–slaying dragons.
