A fun-to-read, anecdote-based writing guide anchored in the real world for writers in every field and at every level of experience.  It provides a perfect a supplemental text, with advice about writing and editing, for the high school and college clasroom ... and it makes a great gift!

“When Did I Become the Oldest Person in the Room” provides rules of grammar and usage side-by-side with examples, stories and insights on the unique contributions made to the writing craft by Twain, Dickens, Conroy, Fitzgerald and Safire ... along with less well-known speechwriters and contributors to TV and movie artistry.

The novice writer who can’t properly use an adverb, or fails to differentiate between “fewer than” and “less than” will find value in this book.  It features tips for maintaining physical and mental acuity, along with thoughts on slang, puns, Biblical metaphor, and the use of verbs as nouns (and vice versa).  You’ll learn how to write without the ponderous yadda-yadda-yadda served up by most writing gurus. 

When you finish this book about writing from the Fixer Publications Group, you’ll experience the unquenchable inspiration to pick up a pen, to place your fingers on the keyboard, to sit down with a tape recorder ... and actually start WRITING.
