Matt Eastwood told us last week how as a fledgling copywriter his mentor got him to read all of the good stuff to become a better, and knowledgeable writer. The famous, the historic, the informative.. and also the dictionary. One of those authors that should be top of your reading list is Kurt Vonnegut (http://en NULL.wikipedia NULL.org/wiki/Kurt_Vonnegut) — a staple of American literature. He’s as crazy as a coconut in his fiction, witty in the speech he gives below, but more than anything is a pretty onto it, and influential character of the written world. Watch ‘em, then get out and buy his books! Your writing will love you for it.
