Because I’m either an attention-whore or a glutton for punishment, or possibly both, I’m putting up excerpts from each day’s writing efforts. There are six… ah, seven so far. If you’re wondering just how much of a lousy hack I really am, the proof awaits.

Literary Pretension Theater Presents…
I hereby present an amusing and mildly interesting article-of-sorts that Neil Gaiman himself describes as, “a funny polemic, and a fine warning against laziness in plotting.”
He then adds, “Not sure it’s of much use beyond that, nor that it was meant to be.” I got a few good laughs out of it, though. It’s a lucky thing for us all that Stephen Donaldson got much, much better once he got all those atrocious Covenant books out of his system.
