One of my all time favorite quotes is by Mark Twain:
"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug."
Some writers know the difference-- many more (including many that hit the New York Times best seller list) don't. |
Well I'm not trying to be Mark Twain. I rehabilitated myself and kept my sanity while serving four years in prison by writing. If one person likes my work I am happy, and by the looks of all my reviews, Including the one by FBC Fantasy Book Critics I think I have done that. Mark twain didn't say anything about punctuation though. I have the right words, I just don't have the commas in the rigt places....LMAO
I am a civil person. I am not trying to be an azz. I just get riled.
