John Scalzi's Writing Style

While reading through his latest blog entry, Unasked-For Advice to New Writers About Money, I could picture a guy (though since I've never seen a photo of him, I just imagined Kevin Smith for some reason) talking and gesturing and otherwise being quite animated. And this Smith-Scalzi guy wasn't boring either, but really interesting. Considering I'm not interested in being a writer or managing a writer's finances, he must be doing something right.

Anyhow, he (Scalzi, not Smith-Scalzi) is a scifi author so I think I'm going to pick up a book or two and contribute to his savings. Now he can say for certain that his blogging sold at least one book.
