I mentioned in last month's newsletter that I’d written a short piece for the Writers Corner at the Cemetery Dance website. Well, it’s up now. (And as I said before, unlikely to interest non writers)

Nice. Very informative. I'm going to forward this page with your link on it to my friend who's a writer. It'll give him something to think about.

Read your piece. I hope to get the chance to use your words of wisdom. I also hope my future copy editor doesnt kick me out on my butt with my demands or I'll be self publishing.

It also shows you've given thought to your style and that what appear to be errors are deliberate.

I'm not a novelist but I found the article interesting anyway. Sort of a peek "under the hood" in a sense.
(Note the lack of commas in this post and that I wanted to use at least three but I thought I'd give the fewer commas thing a try.)

Very interesting article. I would think that even if you never shared it with a copy editor, a sytle sheet could be useful in helping you sort out issues of style and help you as an individual become more internally consistant. Thanks for the link.

Nice article. Read it. Now, if someone would only publish a story. I've sort of given up and am now turning one of my stories into a novel.

Great advice; the writers that have influenced me definitely do not play by the typical rules, and I'm sure I am loaded with purposeful and unknown mistakes.
