Dear Young Adult Authors,
If you find yourself typing the dialogue:
"You just don't get it" or
"You just don't get it, do you?"
Please hit delete.
Recognize this phrase for the crutch that it is.
Please know that his is a universal crutch, used by authors of adult and young adult fiction, screenwriters. Know that you are not alone in your impulse to employ it.
But you are responsible for employing it nonetheless. Type it at your own peril.
Cordially,
H
