"Merging anecdote-driven theory with a freewheeling, maverick energy, Release the Bats offers a turbocharged manifesto of sorts that is fully in sync with Pierre's established public persona of someone hitting his conversational stride halfway between his sixth and seventh sundowner." -New Statesman
How to write
when all you have is a feeling
You can be insecure and be a writer.
You can be unsuccessful and be a writer.
You can be a bad person and be a writer.
You can be a drinker, a procrastinator, a freak.
You can be compulsive, dependent, delusional.
You can be under house arrest.
You can be on medication.
You can be wrong.
And be a writer.
You just have to write.
That’s where it gets tricky.
​
There are a million gurus, books and groups that can tell you where the verb goes, and sell you a rewarding, methodical way to write.
This book is about another way.
One you might end up with.
Because, once you get over this being a job you can do in your underwear you will find yourself in that underwear in the dead of some miserable night more alone than you thought you could be.
​
And you won’t give a fuck where the verb goes.
"Brilliant, funny and very useful." -Times Literary Supplement
