NickyHavey,
So you are the famous Nicky Havey. Dad thinks you have an incredible gift for satire and he considers satire and poetry the highest forms of writing.
I actually can't tell if this is really Quill's daughter or Quill himself as the writing style is EXACTLY the same.
I didn't know how to use the Steemit editor, which is unbelievably backward btw, so I had to go to him to get the post out. In the process, a "few edits" got made. I am, after all, The Quill Daughter, so everything had to be perfect.
Dad often preaches that Great Writers must have a Voice. But, before developing their Voice, they must first learn how to write beautifully. To do that, they must study the Masters. And so, he studies Shakespeare and I study him. My Voice is different than his but there are a lot of similarities. It wasn't my teachers who taught me how to read and write.
The thing I struggle with most is humor and so I ask him for advice all the time. Humor is hard. Too much, or too little, ruins things.
I see you have a PhD. I think you should make Dad start calling you "Doctor." You earned it and so has he.
