Cool Writing Tips: A Month of What You'd Call Guidelines

Cool Writing Tips began as a month's worth of daily blog posts about writing. Gradually the Tips expanded into slightly longer, philosophical looks at baseball + writing, rivers + writing, nature + writing, and life + writing. As one reader who received them as emails wrote, "They're not just writing tips. They're also what you'd call guidelines for living." Agreed, and they're "guidelines" in the best, pirate sense of the word.
