Three Days Off + Three Paragraphs From My Forthcoming Book: “Confessions Of A Spiteful Writer” - Part Four

by MBIP


Well, here’s this week’s update: I got absolutely nothing done last week and I’m still on chapter nine! My goal this week is to finish chapter nine and at least make a decent dent in chapter ten.

I did post my weekly YouTube video which is a little bit of a companion to the book and if you want to see this week’s video, just click here or on the picture below to see this episode which is part one of me talking about my favorite issue of fishwrap. This issue featured an oral history of the early days of Rolling Stone magazine.

Tomorrow and Saturday, I’ll be posting “Best of MBIP” links on Twitter and facecrack, so check those out if you follow me on either one of those social media platforms.

Below are three teaser paragraphs from Chapter Three of, “Confessions Of A Spiteful Writer.”

We’ll have a new blog here on this coming Sunday, August 18, so I’ll see you all then!

Now I have to get back to chapter nine! See you all, Sunday!
