A Funny Quasi-Great Writer's Blog I Just Discovered

Actually, it's not quasi, it's fully great but the writer himself says to go ahead and insult him so that was the best I could come up with at the moment. Michael Swanwick is a published writer who allows a blog to be run in his name. One of the best parts is his "Advice from Unca Mike." As he introduces it:


Most writing columns offer sound and useful advice to new writers, so they can accelerate the process by which they become successful, well-paid professionals. Unca Mike don't play that. My advice is designed to cut new talent off at the knees and thus keep down the number of writers I have to compete against. Multiply your adjectives! Insult the editor! Submit your writing questions here, and I'll provide you with the answers that other writers won't.

Answers to select questions will be posted here sometime at the beginning of each month.

Your Unca Mike

The title up top there is a link to his main webpage. Here's a link to the "Unca Mike's Bad Advice" blog.
