How To Write Badly Well
A brilliant new blog from writer Joel Stickley, How To Write Badly Well serves a dual purpose: teaching the reader how to avoid bad writing habits and making them laugh out loud. From a post entitled “Skip blithely between tenses”:

‘Is this work going to have been finished when it is currently the deadline which, at present, is in the future?’ he demanded. ‘I am planning to have been waiting for it, as I presently am.’

Hi, my name's Mark. I'm trying to come up with some ideas for a book. Think of this as my online writing notebook: ideas, stories, beginnings, endings. Things that just pop into my mind. I'm also on Twitter as @markeebee.
