250 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT WRITING is a booze-soaked, profanity-brined, Zen-lacquered look at the craft and art of writing, one list of â€œ25 Thingsâ€ at a time. ,Featured within this book are the essays â€œ25 Things You Should Know Aboutâ€¦â€,â€¦Being A Writer, Writing A Novel, Writing A Screenplay, Writing A F**king Sentence, Storytelling, Character, Plot, Dialogue, Description, Editing/Revising, and finally, Getting Published.,(And yes, thatâ€™s actually 11 lists, which means the book actually has *275* things you should know about writing, but letâ€™s be honest, 250 sounds much cooler. Letâ€™s just go ahead and call that, â€œ25 bonus tips,â€ shall we? Boom. Value added.) ,The book features sections such as:,â€œThe Transubstantiation of Trope,â€ â€œWhy Bad Decisions Are A Good Decision,â€ â€œNobody Sees Themselves As A Supporting Character,â€ "I Want To Buy The Semi-Colon A Private Sex Island," and â€œPlot Is Promise.â€ ,Contained within are things you should know about plot holes, self-publishing versus legacy publishing, "on-the-nose" dialogue, story versus plot, metaphors, copy-editing, killing darlings with a claw hammer, cursing like an undead pirate, and generally being a cranky and irreverent creative type.
