“What is the worst sentence you ever wrote?”

Isaac Fitzgerald bio ↓  ·  February 25th, 2010  ·  filed under books

Jami Attenberg: “It’s hard to pick just one. I know I have a problem with semi-colon abuse, and have written page-long sentences. Nobody needs to be reading page-long sentences, at least not written by me. What about, ‘He smiled quietly.’”

Joshua Mohr: “I once quit a job without notice via email—faking an injury as my excuse—and the opening sentence still makes me feel like a terrible person: ‘I’m dictating this message due to my injuries.’”

Rumpus contributor Sona Avakian talks poor grammar, favorite adjectives, poontang and more in a short interview with Rumpus contributors Jami Attenberg and Joshua Mohr.
