- Uhhrrr 14y agoThe points are pretty well-worn; I think he is making fun of advice to writers. Do you really think he thinks keeping a dream journal is a good idea?
- jfarmer 14y agoSorry, I meant: THE ARTICLE ITSELF is the lesson, not necessarily the points within. For example, "Rule 8. Is Secret" is (possibly) illustrating #6, #4, and the humor of it #3. It's making points, meta-points, and doing it with a sense of humor. There are good lessons at each of those levels, and it makes you think "Wait, really? Did he really mean that?"
