Whether you think the post is sexy or not (I rather think Jonathan was being facetious with his post title), there are some great ideas in there. And that, to me, is sexy.
Why emotional excess is essential writing and creativity. Do you agree? Brainpickings explores the diaries of Anais Nin.
Common sayings you may be misusing. How stuff works.

Thanks, Jonathan 🙂 I really did. I’ve been kind of stymied as to how to count revisions, but since much of it has been cutting, I’ve done the simple thing and NOT counted the negative words. That’s just too demoralizing 😛 Hope you have a fabulous holiday season.
