I've been reading every book on writing technique I can get my hands on
Uh huh....
The author's philosophy also matches my own; maybe that made it easier for me to like his advice, though naturally I like to think that it's just the result of spending a lot of time trying to write (and failing) that brought me to the Correct Philosophy! :)
Explains a lot.
I smell a "thanks for giving me research for my book on bitchy fandom wimmen!" in 3...2...1...
I swear to god, this man uses more emoticons and exclamation points than any 5 self-respecting academics--or writers--I know. Which is not to denigrate either form of punctuation, but seriously, whatever happened to using them sensibly?
I'm using the punctuation to distract myself. Holy shit that is awful. I wish, though, that I could be surprised; at this point very little would surprise me out of this dude.
