Typing in All Capital Letters is Perceived to be Shouting, so Only do it When Addressing Foreigners or the Elderly.
I have an update on the FakeAPStylebook craziness. We (well, primarily Ken and Mark and the agent) sold our idea, and a book will be coming out from Three Rivers Press (a division of Crown, a division of Random House) in Spring of 2011. And yes, I am getting a portion of the advance. Ken and Mark just drove by in their matching Ferraris and handed me my shiny nickel!
Ask any of us if we ever expected that. Or to be in “Entertainment Weekly”:
This is where the magic happens: FakeAPStylebook. If you don’t “do” Twitter, there’s an RSS feed.
THE FAKE AP STYLEBOOK BOOK*: JUMPING THE SHARK IN BOOKSTORES EVERYWHERE, SPRING 2011.

You’re my favorite bureau chief too, but only because I have low self esteem.

Nice! I always look forward to FakeAPStylebook’s posts. (I refuse to say tweets. Oh, damn.)

Congrats to all. Any time you can have fun in doing something creative that is also fun for others and you can make a little cash on the side, well, you go for it! Nicely done, sirs. Is there an autograph party at Dave’s house, with Beebo co-signing?
