I Done Got Blurbed

Joe "the Metal Cowboy" Kurmaskie has an article in the Sunday edition of The Oregonian in which he interviews distinguished authors about their writing habits. You know, people like Christopher Moore, Jeann Duprau, Steve Almond, and Cheryl Strayed.

Oh wait, I hadn't seen my pull-out quote yet... oh my, that's a good one. Expressive yet pithy, and I'm clearly onto something important. Queasiness averted!
