While I've chosen this Tumblr that's run by an LA Times writer so I can share it with other writers, I've also chosen it so everyone else can enjoy it as well. I sure do enjoy your writing, Todd Martens, so here's to you.

This week's Tumblr of the Week pick is You Don't Want to Be Todd Martens.

More on what's awesome about this week's Tumblr of the Week after the jump...

Finally, a commentary blog by a fantastic writer who gives his opinions and backs them up while standing his ground. He's brutally honest, which always makes for fantastic reading material. Furthermore, Martens features some standout quotes and excerpts from other writers too. He posts anything from comedian Marc Maron's stance on other people's cats to a song he thinks is a real gem.
