I showed it to my son and said he should read it and he vehemently disagreed. Apparently he's under the impression that every single SK book is a gorefest that will make him pee with fear if he reads it. Which is about 85% true but still, the book is titled "On Writing"...is a giant quill pen going to appear out of nowhere and stab someone to death? Talk about deus ex machina.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
