Greetings!
Great advice from PA/SQ! Lots better than some of the writing advice I received when I took a few writing classes in college. And I love that it was delivered with a sense of humor throughout. I wonder if PA/SQ has ever taught writing in college…
Lots of rain and windy conditions expected in this neck of the woods.
Make it the best day!

The title is making me laugh.
Good morning all.

OFS’s article is very good and I have saved it on my computer. Just in case he needs more assistance…
I nominate Rio’s Friend to be OFA’s friend to read future mystery writings. She absolutely meets his description, “A smart, well-read, mystery-loving friend who is willing to be honest can be very valuable to the mystery writer.” I am sure she will do a great job giving him lots of feedback solicited and unsolicited.
I nominate Snow Bella to help approve the characters’ names since she has had a lot of practice naming dogs.
I nominate B. Stover use her professorial marking pen to help polish the manuscript to such a gleam the editor will need sunglasses to read it.
We had four hours of sun today which was so nice except that I was in a meeting for much of it. Then the weather changed to cool and rainy. Drat! BBL

My naked ladies—-Stripped! I had a lovely crop of Naked Ladies this year as the bulbs have multiplied. Well it was at their peak the storm hit. Now the Naked Ladies are no more….sob!

Thieves: your job is to deliver to Rio and Friend as many vats of beer it takes so that you can procure OFA manuscript, make a copy, and return original before Rio and Friend recover their senses.

Hobbit: We can do that.
Beau: No offense, but we think the Bible could benefit from some writing tips. The begats always lose us.
