...you DO NOT talk about Book Club!
November 3, 2009
I’m visiting with Jennifer and the Big Brained Girls Book Club this Thursday and really looking forward to it. I still maintain that if you want to become a better writer DO NOT HANG OUT WITH OTHER WRITERS – you’ll only have fun, and get drunk and get in trouble. You want to hang out with readers – which is why I go to book clubs and listen.
Here are my spoofy rules of BOOK CLUB. (in the flavour of the rules for Fight Club)
1) The first rule of Book Club is, you do not talk about Book Club.
2) The second rule of Book Club is, you DO NOT talk about Book Club.
3) If someone says stop, goes limp, taps out from thinking too much, or drinking too much, Book Club is over.
4) Two women never share a book.
5) One book at a time.
6) No shirts, no shoes. (I’m okay with this but most Book Clubs are women – I think we have to bend here)
7) Books will go on as long as they have to.
8) If this is your first night at Book Club, you have to ask a question.
9) The ninth rule of Book Club is, there is no Book Club.
So, there is no Book Club this Thursday at an address that does not exist and with a group of “Big Brained Girls” who do not exist and have never existed. Ha, watch, I’ll show up at work on Friday with bruises and black eyes and a missing tooth!!!!
