This “On Writing” blog was brought down—hacked—by a group calling itself
the IraqSnipers. One morning, in place of literary entries, were obscenities and
brutal war imagery.
There were about 50 essays pitched toward book lovers and would-be writers.
Some of the titles are listed below.
I’m in the process of reconstructing the blog. I have backups of most of the
entries, but it will take some time to make this blog whole again. I hope you will
check back later.
Thanks,
Will
