Positive Life Lessons About Zoos

Know More: Jeff VanderMeer, Writing Resources 2.0, Writing Resources

Our friend Jeff VanderMeer just ran a hilarious interview with John Scalzi over at VanderWorld. I've written about how much I love Scalzi's Writing on Writing series, but this was even better. This interview made me laugh and made me want to write things that make people laugh. Made me remember that writing is pretty much the best job in the whole world.

I mean, just listen to him...

"Clearly you are not familiar with my series of "Fluffy Ferrets" picture books for children, whose titles include "The Fluffy Ferrets go to the Zoo," "The Fluffy Ferrets and Magic Abattoir," "The Fluffy Ferrets Meet the Ravenous Eldritch Beasts of Yore," "The Fluffy Ferrets and the Auto-Vivisection Adventure," and the most recent book in the series, "The Fluffy Ferrets vs. the GE/Pratt & Whitney GP7277 Jet Engine." Each of these books are downright adorable, and also offer positive life lessons about zoos, slaughterhouses, and the danger of taunting ancient chthonic gods and/or machines capable of 81,500 pounds of thrust on take-off. Collect them all!"

And if you thought that was funny, check out The Great, Great George Saunders in this week's New Yorker, writing about "Nostolgia." And if you are like me, and all this makes you want to write, go scribble something on my Chinese Gangster Story-esque mass fiction page.
