i never read a writing article that packed so much information so fast, so relentlessly, so exhaustively to where the reader is trying to catch his breath from the pace while the writer is still pulling ahead with the reader going "hey, wait up, slow down!" this guy is one great communicator. yeah, ok, he writes gay porn, i know, ya dont haffta remind me. let's just stay with the topic at hand and not drift over into some other part of the lagoon, ok?
