“If you have any young friends who aspire to become writers, the second greatest favor you can do for them is to present them with copies of ‘The Elements of Style.’ The first greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while they’re happy.”
-Dorothy Parker
Oh, that witty dame! So many great lines.
Recently, I discovered (thanks Susan!) the publication “Dorothy Parker’s Ashes.” The most recent issue is about the writing life. They accepted a piece about my personal debacle of writing (and publishing) an obituary of someone who was still alive.
Somehow, I dodged another bullet. And I’m still writing.
