    Here's some useful and humorous writing tips from the Star Wars author's blog.

    "Here’s How To Finish That F*****g Book, You Monster"

    (Note: The site won't let me link directly so go via this boingboing link or manually edit "frelling" to the proper curse word in the title link. Language alert!)

    Here's number 1...

    1. Stop complaining about it. I know, it’s hard. It’s easier to talk about writing than it is to actually write, isn’t it? And it’s extra-special-super-saucy-easy to get online and join with others who have joined the Aren’t Finishing blast club, and it feels somehow productive to talk about not being productive. Trust me, I know. I’ve been there. I’ve done it. I’ve flopped about publicly and engaged in the illusion of productivity. But you gotta stop. I’m not saying you can’t vent about it — just vent after you’ve BARFED WORDS UP ONTO A PAGE.

    Unless you've already figured it out, as @Moral Hazard wrote, when you go to that link, just change the part in the URL where it says Frelling to the first word that comes to your mind when you see this: F*****g
    That is, unless I missed some joke here...:confused:
