A Moment of Levity From A Writer Who Gets The Rules
I am not said writer. Said writer, Tim of This Machine Kills Purists wrote a rebuttal set of Top Ten Rules for Writers (the real “rules” posted most recently by the Guardian, but blogged and Twittered everywhere).
My favorite of them all is:
Never open a book with the weather. Use your fingers instead.
Brilliant. And true. And much less messy.
Still cleaning up after the Crud from Planet 9 (and waiting for the sneaky reattack that will come for dh and ds1).
Will resume regular blogging shortly — with a contest to giveaway an updated version of the anthology my Christopher Paolini essay “My Dragon, Myself” is in (see sidebar for Border’s Exclusive cover, next up is a more parchment-y medieval type cover image, as soon as I get caught up and beat back Crud from Planet 9 completely).
