The Mark Twain Library of Humor
Mark Twain was a funny guy. He was an editor as well as a writer, and he put together a few different anthologies in his day. The Mark Twain Library of Humor is a great one that features several stories about writing. It’s readily available in bookstores and libraries if you want to read a physical copy. Because the copyrights are long expired, you can also find many of the stories online. If you aren’t going to set goals this weekend, maybe you’d like to read instead.
Charles Dudley Warner’s The Plumber (page down to see it) has some timeless advice on setting rates. Twain’s How I Edited an Agricultural Paper Once will seem familiar to those who have written for trades; you can even listen to it if you are too tired to read. And if you have never read Twain, get right over to Project Gutenberg to see what’s there.
If you want to do some typing, Wikisource is looking for folks to enter the stories there, as many of those written by other authors have not been collected online. I was trying to find Eugene Field’s wickedly funny “The First Day at Editing”, but I could not. But trust me, PR freebies and the folks who live for them are not a new development.
