Accept Offers: Conclusion

Final installment of this series - from @WillHines.

Leftover thoughts:

  • The other phrase I’ve heard Delaney use is “culture of agreement.” That’s a great sounding phrase, I like what it inspires in me.
  • An initiation can be thought of as accepting the offer inherent in the suggestion, or the opening.
  • Accepting an offer is very often having the character say “no.”
  • I wrote a lot (too much) about “Accepting Offers” not because I think I have it figured out but because I’m working it out. When/if I revise all this I will condense these a great deal.
  • I admit that a lot of this is restating stuff. “Accepting offers” is just “yes and.” But a new mantra, that’s part of the fun: you get a lot of old stuff re-awakened.
  • People have disputed my examples. I can see why. I don’t like a lot of my examples either. Coming up with examples is hard. But to leave them out would have been cowardly. Criticize away, it’s fair — and the criticism helps me improve. But give me credit for being willing to state examples. CREDIT I WANT CREDIT.

Okay, I’m done.
