Publishers Description: "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 things worth doing badly, its worth doing badly well.
