"His use of language, his ability to twist the narrative and turn the obscure into the profound is outstanding." - The StageLooking for a creative writing guide out there that will tell you how to write better? A book to tell you how to structure a perfect plot, create great characters, use language in a powerful and poetic way? This is not that book.100 Ways to Write Badly Well is an adventure in drivel. It will teach you how to botch a plot, how to create characters that no one in their right mind would identify with and how to reduce the beauty of the English language to an incoherent mush.Using one hundred practical examples, each awful in its own unique way, blogger and creative writing tutor Joel Stickley will lead you methodically up the creek and carefully remove your paddle before running off and leaving you stranded. The route is lined with mixed metaphors, terrible plot twists, piles of adjectives and characters staring at themselves in mirrors for no apparent reason.Based on the popular blog and live comedy show How To Write Badly Well, this book is an invaluable guide to the art of awful writing that no would-be author should be without. Remember - if a thing's worth doing badly, it's worth doing badly well. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The examples are amazing. It genuinely does take real talent to, well, write badly this well. Some of these are laugh-out-loud hilarious. Some are sort of painful to read, but in entertaining ways. Some actually sort of work as tiny comic stories. Some of them are dizzyingly clever. And some are just silly fun.
And while this is mainly just meant to be funny, I have seen people making some of these kinds of writing mistakes, albeit in less absurdly extreme form, so it might actually serve as a pretty good example for aspiring writers of what not to do. "Banish 'said' from your vocabulary," for example, or "present your research in the form of dialog," or "make your characters incapable of learning anything." ( )
