I've started Martin Amis's The Information.
This guy's writing is amazing. Smart. I really get the "show, don't tell" thing with what he's doing. Snappy, snide, pulling from the ether. The book is about a down-and-out writer's jealousy towards another, a friend who he deems to be less talented. Amis really takes me down there. There's a gem sentence on every page.
And I'm on chapter 2.
I can't help thinking about the thing I just wrote that is striving to be a novel.
*sigh*
Anyhow, more later. With the book done, I feel my mind freeing up so I can concentrate more on 101.
But, what to get Mom for Christmas?
