Evil Monkeys and Creative Writing
January 17, 2007
While blogsurfing this morning – and I apologize but I don’t recall now whose blog had the link – I found this goofy gem: The Evil Monkey Guide to Creative Writing.
AHA!!! EUREKA!!!
Unfettered, uncensored, unapologetically silly imagination! YES!!! Gimme somma dat!
This guy Jeff VanderMeer is totally whack. I love it. 
Just the juice I needed. Frankly, my dears, I exhaust myself to no end trying to be so proper, neutral, correct and linear in my writing – fiction and non.
Damnit, it’s a relief to feel like I can have FUN with writing. I’d forgotten that feeling and I have no idea why or how I did so.
On this same train of thinking, and speaking of evil monkeys, I wish I could write like that crazy galoot George Potter does.
