“Meetings of writers are always like the comings together of princes who rule over small, but highly independent countries, and a wrong word, a breath of rudeness, can lead to undeclared warfare; decorum is as important as affection.” ~ Peter Straub on Meeting Stephen King
If there’s any one big take-away from the fantastic meeting we had with guests Dale Long and Tobin Elliot, it’s that no matter who you’re collaborating with (a co-writer, an editor, a critique group, etc.) keeping an open mind and not letting our Noble Egos take charge can lead to true works of art and writing that challenges us.
