You type it out, changing things on the way, and making the work better. It’s called “a second draft”.

In my experience, writers tend to be really good at the inside of their own heads and imaginary people, and a lot less good at the stuff going on outside, which means that quite often if you flirt with us we will completely fail to notice, leaving everybody involved slightly uncomfortable and more than slightly unlaid.

So I would suggest that any attempted seduction of a writer would probably go a great deal easier for all parties if you sent them a cheerful note saying “YOU ARE INVITED TO A SEDUCTION: Please come to dinner on Friday Night. Wear the kind of clothes you would like to be seduced in.”

And alcohol may help, too. Or kissing. Many writers figure out that they’re being seduced or flirted with if someone is actually kissing them.

Nope. I like my wording. 

If someone reading it interprets And alcohol may help, too  as meaning I think you should get someone too drunk to be able to give their consent, then they are as profoundly mistaken as someone who takes the Or kissing that follows as meaning I’m endorsing making out with people against their will.

Both of these things are obviously wrong things to do. But I kind of hope that I don’t have to explicitly point out wrong things all the time as the flip side of good things, or we will wind up in a bad place where nothing can be said.
