Writing Advice #12

Let's talk about Shrek, baby...

This week’s writing advice is not really advice. If you need advice this week, my advice is to throw something at the wall—a book, a sandwich, a bouquet of dead flowers, whatever you feel like throwing. Writing prompt at the bottom. (Pay to subscribe and you’ll get it all, plus I’ll read and potentially answer writing questions if you email me at itsottessab@gmail.com.)

My middle name is really Charlotte.

Dear Ottessa,

Do you ever read reviews? And if so, does the criticism ever get to you?

And what did you think about Andrea Long Chu’s piece about you in Vulture?

Sincerely,

Roberto “Robert” Robertson

Dear Rob-Rob-Rob,

Thank you for your questions.

I do read a negative review from time to time when I need a boost.
