: Source for literary terms? The other day my wife, who went to quite a good school, told me that her literature teacher had taught her class abbreviations of terms which they were then asked
The other day my wife, who went to quite a good school, told me that her literature teacher had taught her class abbreviations of terms which they were then asked to write in the margins of their books. HHI was one example, and stands for heavy-handed irony. I only just now realized that this was not something I learned to do in school. In fact, I had never heard the term before. But HHI, for example, seems like a pretty ubiquitously novelistic device. (The banana breakfast scene of Gravity's Rainbow comes to mind.) Where can I find a long (exhaustive, even) list of such terms, for my own reference?

: Has anyone tried "pair writing" before and been published? Most of the time when two people write a book, one person is doing the majority of the writing and the other is critiquing or helping
: Anybody know anything about examiner.com? Apparently it's some sort of "pro-am" site. I applied to be a travel writer and they, uh, picked me. I'm curious if anybody knows where examiner.com
