I love Lynda Young's place. Normally, I'm the one to be EXTREMELY critical of writing advice, but reading her short, insightful and oh-so-righteous writing prompts. They are the writing equivalent to Ronnie James Dio's songs. You read them and the only thing you want to do afterward is to grab a keyboard and wail: "Fuck yeah, let's get ready to raaaawk". And to me, that's what writing advice should do. Inspire you, instead of throwing rules and structure at you. It's in that spirit that I wrote my post, which is about trusting yourself and knowing whether something you wrote is working or not.
