How Not To Write

This is a continuation of “Writing the Blockbuster Novel by Albert Zuckerman“.

I had my doubts about this one, as I do about any book whose title is printed in 48 point block font, but Writing the Blockbuster Novel is anything but a disappointment. It is a must read for any author who has pecked out a few books with meager (or non-existent sales) and wishes to break through to the next level. By next level I don’t mean the literary next level either. No, I’m talking about the bestsellers list. I’m talking about volume and popular success.

If success is about learning from your mistakes, then I ought to be the greatest writer alive. Obviously, something is terribly wrong with this line of thinking…
