I have two degrees (neither in English lit) and just finished working on my 12th book. I've been a writer/editor for decades. I know what sounds and looks right. I don't worry about the rules. For me the important thing is clarity so that the reader can understand.

I won't pay for the Times since they dismissed all the freelancers (including me) from a paper they owned at the time. They may editorialize like Democrats but they run their business like Republicans.

No, they do NOT get to define "what a religion is." These MAGAt idiots need to read not only the 1st Amendment, but Art. 6, para. 3.

No question. There are NO "grown ups" in the room. This is by design. It's to ensure there can be no movement on invoking the 25th amendment.

Many reasons, starting with pure escapism. We need a break from all that real life drama.

Absolutely, but following the facts and the law. No revenge tour. A totally transparent prosecution of these criminals.

Putting yourself and your work out there is a major step. There's all sorts of reasons it might have been rejected having nothing whatsoever to do with the quality of your work. Keep at it.

I like how Sherlock Holmes as we know him is already there in embryonic form, but he needs the seasoning that Moriarty of all people provides. I love his comment when Sherlock wants to get the deerstalker hat.

Now here's a new show I'm enjoying: "Young Sherlock." (No connection with 1985 movie "Young Sherlock Holmes.") It creates a backstory for Holmes as a young adult, with clever twists including presenting young Moriarty as a friend of his. It has fun with the Holmes canon without violating it.

Why do people think the books are about philosophy? Nothing wrong with that, but it could just as easily be science fiction or mysteries. :)
