Picked this up from a long Facebook thread on what an overhyped hack Jonathan Franzen is. Don’t get me started. I haven’t read Freedom (and won’t unless I make a dent in all that yardwork I’d much rather do), but I was more than a little puzzled at all the fuss over The Corrections, not to mention nauseated at all the Great American Novel(ist) hype. I mean, really? Really? A competently written self-indulgent soap opera that fell apart int he middle because it couldn’t bear up under its own weight? Really? His freaking publicist is a better fiction writer than he is.
Anyway, this link fell out of that thread: Jerry Oltion’s 50 Strategies for Making Yourself Work. Good stuff.
