David Isaak's blog about his debut novel SHOCK AND AWE--plus thoughts on writing, reading, publishing, joining the Macmillan New Writing family, and whatever else comes to mind
(Most addicts live in seclusion, only interacting socially with other writers (while this is acceptable behaviour in adults, this should be discouraged in children). Writing addiction can lead to obsessive behaviour especially later on in life. Some published writers go on to other obsessive behaviours such as Googling their own names, and checking Amazon rankings)
I know they try to make you think you need to register to leave comments. Nope. Just Post as 'Anonymous' and say who you are in the body of your comment. (The little verification code seems to time out in about ten seconds, so you'll probably have it spin round and demand you type something else. Don't give up.)

I love that...
Hi, Jen--
Matt's one funny boy sometimes.
Hey, Jamie--
I used to Google myself, but now I have Google Alerts, so Google Googles me.
On the other hand, I've never checked my Amazon rankings. Because I can't figure out what they really mean.
Please don't explain. I spend enough time reading blogs (including yours, of course).
