... [Craft] Rules for writing long-form stories

... apparatus around the books to guide and control the direction. The books were so important that nothing could be allowed to pass unexamined: every creative decision was micromanaged and second guessed, characters and creators were treated as interchangeable and at the same time jealously guarded.

I knew about Talking Lines, but didn't realize there was another interesting looking new R.O. Blechman book out. 3. Birthday tributes to Steve Ditko weren't even a dime a dozen yesterday, unless you pay way too much for your internet service, but this one, despite its brief length, was particularly provocative and original. 4.
