Quote of the Day (Funny Book on Writing)
Today's Quote:
“Research trends show that Americans are tired of competent and qualified people doing things well."
To make sense of the quote you have to go to http://www.writersdigest.com/muse/brilliance.asp?archive where John Warner is talking about how he was asked to write a book on writing.
While you’re there, check out the short movie version of the book. (They call that VidLit apparently.) Here’s the link for that: http://www.vidlit.com/muse/
Hilarious!
And don’t miss the Blurb-O-Matic at http://www.writersdigest.com/muse/blurbomatic.asp
Need blurbs for your next book! John’s Blurb-O-Matic has got you covered.
My favorite: “A shimmering adventure of renegade clowns that will leave you breathless!"
The book is called “Fondling Your Muse."
An excerpt is available at http://www.writersdigest.com/muse/excerpt.asp.
ROTFL
I’m gonna have to buy this book.
I guess if people are tired of "competent...people doing things well" then maybe there is hope for me after all.
