As we anxiously await our next featured interview, here's another chestnut plucked from the flames of my Five Easy Questions series.Charlie Huston stopped by a few months ago, chatting about comic books and vampire novels. Right now, he's taking his blogging show on the road to California.
We leave you this explosive bit of advice he gave for insecure writers. Check it out:
"Bang your head against the wall. Scream. Get drunk. Bitch to your friends. Throw your manuscript in the garbage. Go dig it out. Eat too many cookies. Get drunk some more. And then get back in the saddle and keep writing. They don’t like what you write? F*** them. Write more.
"Write more of the same or write something else. Write so f***ing much they’ll choke on it. They don’t believe in you? F*** them. Believe in yourself. No one’s gonna throw you any pity parties for being an unpublished writer."
