    A good lesson! Don't zone out while you're driving through social media! But if you do, write a play about it!

    This play is an awesome example of how to write a play that is only a few minutes long. Nora Louise Syrian expertly captures the anguish and myriad emotions that writers go through when a critic hits a nerve. The reader offers great counterpoints to the writer’s impulsive behavior and how to be more positive with one’s words, particularly with the written word. Nice work!

    A good exploration of how writers often lift themselves out of their problems! Short and sweet, with a complex problem resolved with support and clarity.
