True fact: the writer’s life is an unglamorous one. It’s the furthest thing from sexy. It’s not so much action-packed<\/em> as it is a wisdom tooth socket packed with septic cotton. In case you didn’t realize it, no, seriously, I’m not fucking around, you really don’t want to be a writer<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Don’t believe me?<\/p>\n

Anthony Neil Smith knows the score, and he’d like to prove it to you.<\/p>\n

A Day In The Life Of Anthony Neil Smith, ladies and gents (the entirely-accurate ether binge happens just after the two-minute mark — so, y’know, there’s that).

A.N. Smith — aka @DocNoir on Twitter<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, which is my way of suggesting you follow the man — is the dude responsible for writing the entirely brilliant CHOKE ON YOUR LIES<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. (Or, if you want it on your Nook<\/strong><\/span><\/a>…) Which, by the way, is at the crazy-low price of $2.99. Book like this, book of this quality<\/em>, should be ten bucks, easy. I’d pay ten bucks. I’d tell you<\/em> to pay ten bucks. But fuck, it’s not even three<\/em> bucks. That’s like — *does some quick math, dicks around with an abacus for an hour* — a 157% discount. That’s amazing. Plus: Octavia. You will come to love Octavia. You will whisper her name into your pillow.<\/p>\n
