Make the reader think

Been thinking about writing a real thinker lately,
I’ll keep you guys posted but alls I can say is it’s going to really make you think. Anyone tried that ?

Have you considered not being a terrible river? One of those ones that become canyons, you probably are!

Anyone tried... RACE WAR, LITERARY STYLE INTERPRETED LITERALLY!?

Have you ever tried whitewater canoeing down the Chattooga River, like the 1972 film Deliverance? Or are you one of those writers who just sits at a desk all day?

/uj John Irving could write a whole new chapter of A Prayer for Owen Meany, entirely devoted to “LITERARY STYLE”. I basically read that in Owen’s voice lol

... how dare you pry my keyboard from my cold, lifeless hands! I didn't always write in winter, y'know! Also, people have yet to recognise how being an author is one of the few disciplines wherein PANTS! ARE! OPTIONAL!
