Confessions

Do you frequently wake up fully dressed, reeking of coffee, with Post-it notes stuck to your face? Are you an information junkie, a detail fiend, or a wisdom addict? If so, you are probably suffering from being a writer; but don’t feel bad; I have it, too. In the interest of exploring the sphere of the person of letters, this column draws on articles, books and movies, writers real and fictional, and my own seriocomic writing adventures. With its finger ever on the verbal pulse, "Confessions of a Word Junkie" looks at the good, the bad and the ugly in the world of words.

- Caroline Hagood


I stumbled upon this, and I couldn't stop laughing - mostly because the comic aspects are far less fictional than you'd think (keyboard imprints...sticky notes - same difference). And then I delved deeper and found a gem. So, long story short, check out Confessions of a Word Junkie - it's a creative and amusing insight into the mysterious world of words and their lovers.
