Mystery Blogger U’s 2013 theme: “Unified Theory of Writing”

U is for a Unified Theory of Writing

“It’s important to know that no matter how obvious and sensible a piece of writing advice might be, there are always going to be circumstances when it won’t hold true. Or when there are other, equally as effective ways to tell the story. . .An unmitigated disaster in the hands of one writer may be an unqualified success in the hands of another.”

Who is it?  This blogger has some moods, but regardless of those moods always informs the readers.

  1. Ah Gary, how did U miss this posting? I think Mr. Alphabet Dude aka Arlee Bird or whatever, should get more sleep. A victim of his own ridiculous challenge. Sweet, sweet irony!

    I have no idea who the mystery person is. I could copy and paste the answer, but nah.

    Okay, cause I'm trying to be as amazing as you, not much chance of that, I shall now visit your posting above this posting.

    Bonus cookies?

  3. Mooderino is my first choice. I peeked in a lot last year. Always gave sound advice. And yeah, I'm also surprised at the different takes on a piece of writing one writer can have over another. I've seen this happen in critique groups.
    Shells–Tales–Sails

  19. That's Mooderino! He totally rocks, and I read his blog all the time — he's fabulous when it comes to craft and technique. It's an unusual name though. Kind of reminds me of an old-fashioned nickname, like The Fonz, Jimmy the Schnoz … and Mooderino.

  21. Moody writing. Yep, I peeked at Alex's answer. But I do have catnip, and I'm not afraid to use it. 🙂

    Good idea for your 2014 theme, C. Lee. Great way to support your fellow writers. 🙂

  24. I don't know the Moody Writing person, but he/she sounds very scientific. The Unified Writing theory sounds like the String theory in physics that's supposed to make sense of everything in the universe. Does the Unified Writing theory make sense of everything in a writer's universe?

  29. Wow, I really overslept this morning. The alarm woke me at 5:30. Too early to beat Alex here, but looks like everybody else slept later too –or were so stumped they didn't leave a comment. But I agree with Alex. With the clue it has to be Mood at Moody Writing. And he often writes about technical aspects of writing.

    I sure wish I could sleep like I did this morning when the week-end is here.

  31. I'm impressed. I always struggled with U when I had to do an A-Z theme. I'm curious to see what you have for X and Z
