Party Like a Copywriter fact: Writers always love to talk about writing. Or write about writing.

The great Lee Clow’s Beard Twitter stream aside, Advice to Writers on Twitter has been a great source of writing advice. Some of the bits I’ve enjoyed:

The first 8 drafts are terrible. MALCOLM GLADWELL #amwriting #writing #writetip

Sometimes a flat-footed sentence is what serves, so you don’t get all writerly: “He opened the door.” There, it’s open. AMY HEMPEL
