Monty by Jim Meddick for July 23, 2018

So much for THAT best-seller. Look for it in the discount bin.

It’s summer, Monty.

Next, get the laptop and head to starbucks.

I got news for you people. when I wuz in college back in the early 60’s to be an intellect meant you had to dress with a corduroy jacket and smoke a pipe, or else no one could believe you were an intellect….

I’m still working on design elements for my writer’s studio…

I’ve heard a fair number of writers (mainly science-fiction authors with a sprinkling of others) give basic advice on writing, and they almost all say “The first rule of writing is that you must write!”

Monty needs to start with bookstore talks and lectures about his novel. Good motivation to actually writing it.

He’s trying to emulate Will Farrell’s Eric Jonrosh.

There is no “Look,” Monty. Just the tradition of failed ambitions and rejection letters by the score….

I feel ya, Monty. I’ve done some writing over the years, and though the process is tough, I’m determined to not give up. Best of luck, my friend.
