Paul Mitchell has an aversion to Bios. He calls this condition Biosphere. The problem, he says, is that if you write a funny one you look like a try-hard, and if you write a serious one you look like a try-hard.
Debating the pros and cons of a Bio while writing one no doubt also makes you look like a try-hard.
Paul sometimes slams. He slammed in the Melbourne Writers' Festival, coming second to his current teammates. They have foolishly brought him Cinderallering onto their team.
