"Read, read, read. Read everything – trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window"
~ William Faulkner - American Writer
"My writing process is a mix of research, personal experiences, washing the dishes, raising kids while thinking - then writing."
~ Jean Craighead George - American Writer
"Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost how it feels about dogs."
~ Christopher Hampton - British Playwright
Writing a simile or two can add a punch of humor in a comedy story or poem.

Stories where the author wrote similes:
Simile excerpt: ... one of my fellow sufferers found that if the two groups of chickens were held up, then brought together like pom-poms at a high school basketball game, ...
Simile excerpt: He had a mop of unwashed hair and dressed like the 1990's never ended.
Simile excerpt: Bottles of perfume and tubes of cream lined up on the countertop like obedient little soldiers, everything in its place.

Are similes a part of your writing, and do you have a favorite? (Share one of your own)
Feedback from my last newsletter, "Shakespeare - A Comedy Hero" :
eyestar~* : "Oh this was an entertaining read and I like how you began with Shakespeare's comedies and how we could begin to see our own dramas as comedy eventually. Oh, if it could be sooner would be great! I had a great laugh at your own cat incident...sounds like you should have been called sooner. EW. Your poor feet! I enjoy British comedy as does my mom so thanks for the link and for sharing your humour."
I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. Thanks for the comment!
Elfin Dragon-finally published : "I always have days where everything goes wrong but I never laugh at it later....I laugh at it while it's happening!"
That's hilarious!
Thanks for all of the newsfeed comments, too!
