#WritersCoffeeClub day 2: Visual presentation: how do white space and typography become meaningful elements of literary form?
There are some amazing answers to this question in Alfred Bester's _The Demolished Man_ and at the climax of _The Stars My Destination_. Describing them here wouldn't do them justice, and would simply diminish their impact in their respective stories, but please believe me when I say the typographical format-busting really does enhance them.

#WritersCoffeeClub day 3: Have you studied writing? Did it prepare you, or did you learn more by doing? I am sure I took at least one or two creative writing courses in college, and maybe even in high school, but I can no longer remember anything of them. I've learned some by doing it, but I think I learned even more by reading a lot.
