Writing advice



The one bit of writing advice I got that made sense was this, if you have thoughts and ideas that would be considered controversial, write about them in as much detail as possible. Be provocative. Be Contraversial. Push the edge of the envelop, even if it offends. Especially if it offends. Provocative will get more attention than writing page after page of politically correct thoughts and ideas of interest to No One. Provocative will get you attention,  even if it's bad attention, in the world of publishing, bad attention = attention. It's the same equation for my life.  

The message came through loud and clear.

This advice unleashed me.
