Dear would-be writers
As it has been so quiet lately, I thought I'd recommend a book I read recently.
This book is probably the best book I've ever read on writing, and certainly the most laugh-out-loud funny.
I honestly learned more from this than from two years up lit creek without a paddle on a creative writing Masters course, and it was a damn sight cheaper. And more entertaining.
Although, to be fair, it does not have quite the smugbrag factor of a postgraduate qualification.
"Oh, this reminds me of when I was working on my Masters..."
vs
"Oh, this reminds me of when I read a book..."
etc
