Authors Write the Darnedest Things! Clytie Koehler

A lighthearted persuasion to "write right - for best effect". Real bloopers by real published authors, modified for anonymity of book and author, are used to illustrate how things can go oh, so wrong! The emphasis is on editing, careful attention, and use of resources to produce written work that reflects the author's rightful pride in writing it. While most authors - even those best beloved ones - miss a word, misuse a word, or leave stray words lying around - or leave them out from time to time, the results can be really funny or they can cause our brains to stutter over them. Not such a big deal - you say? Well it can be if that was not your intention while pouring your time and effort into a piece of written work! Authors Write the Darnedest Things truly is "more than 2,500 words about words" - with entertainment and humor in the mix.
