i think every publisher should have to institute a ban on books that fail what i’m calling the “little life” and “what else?” tests

I don't like this as general advice because it's basically uninterpretable outside of its context. What on earth is actually wrong with writing about your dead sister or your life? We don't know. Morrison's and Glück's students had more than we get here. Glück's student knows her own piece, has an easier time figuring out what weaknesses Glück saw in it, and probably got to talk more about it; Morrison's students had a lot more background statements to read her comments against. So the specific audiences of these remakes could make something useful out of it. But anyone reading this in Post Form is just going to project whatever they think Glück or Morrison meant (in the best case scenario they've read the authors' works but many won't have). So people aren't even really going to take away any good writing guidance except what they already thought, mutated by these memeified remarks.

Because I was looking up the scene with Thaisha reading about the farramh after they killed Azgra: I know when 4x21 aired some people thought the Blooming was caused by the choice to grant Azgra a blessing, as requested within the farramh, with the other argument being that the Barrowdells are negations of the Shapers' domains and thus Azgra's one of war and conquest became one of peace and abundance (swords into plowshares is in fact "weapons into tools of agriculture", after all).

I'd like to propose an alternate interpretation: it's not the blessing so much that a farramh was performed at the location of Azgra's death at all and was made inclusive of him. In other words, Azgra, and perhaps Azgra alone, received funeral rites from those who opposed him. We know these rites are very important in this world; those who do not receive them do not necessarily move on (as we've seen with Gaya). Is Azgra perhaps the only Shaper whose soul was freed to go where it might, and is that why he has a positive Barrowdell?

“Hooli was like an abusive spouse to me. You know, like that guy that married Julia Roberts in Sleeping with the Enemy. It was dehumanizing.”

unhappy side effect of "morally ambiguous" being treated as the pinnacle of writing is that you will often be made to experience what a not so talented writer with big aspirations thinks is morally ambiguous
