I’m an Amateur (and always will be)

Ted Krever: Writing and other forms of torture Posted on July 5, 2011 by ted kreverJuly 18, 2011

John Locke is getting a lot of attention lately. No, not the philosopher—that’s the history blog down the block. Not the character on ‘Lost’ either. I’m talking about the man who just joined Stieg Larsson, James Patterson, Nora Roberts, Charlaine … Continue reading →

Clarence

Ted Krever: Writing and other forms of torture Posted on June 19, 2011 by ted kreverJune 19, 2011

Clarence Clemons never walked out in a contract dispute. He never complained to anyone (that I ever heard) about that Bruce guy’s attitude. He never told an interviewer that he didn’t need those other guys in the band. He always … Continue reading →
