Hooray! One of my reviews just became Review of the Day on Yelp Atlanta!

And this afternoon I'll be going to my first Yelp event to get some little cards that say "You've Been Yelped" so that business owners know they're about to get rated. (Only after the transaction is complete, of course. Otherwise it's a shakedown.)

If you like good writing about bad writing, read this AND its comments:

Some of my favorite comments:

Man, that guy is a ridiculous cockbag. At least he’s always on the last page so it’s easy to skip him.

Some people seem to think that Leon Wieseltier is an excellent literary critics, and certainly I’m in no position to question anyone’s literary criticism skills.
Actually, I am in such a position, being a professional literary critic (ie, I have a job and am paid by a major university to do literary criticism, believe it or not–I still can’t really), and I can assure you: Leon Wiseltier is a terrible, and terribly pretentious, literary critic. So, breathe easy.
It reads like someone’s attempt to enter a parody of George Will in a Bulwer-Lytton contest. What utter crap.

This one's for you,

Since a lot of my friends have decided to write novels this month, I thought I should share some advice from Steve Martin: Writing Is Easy!

Enjoy.
