Writing
James writes a weekly food column for The Sun and also contributes to a number of other British newspapers including The Independent, The Observer, The Times, and The Sunday Times, as well as Q magazine, The Spectator and The Idler. An autobiography of James's experience with Blur, Bit of a Blur, was released in June 2007 by Little, Brown & Company. It has since been described as “the definitive guide to Britpop”. James published a follow up entitled All Cheeses Great and Small: A not so everyday story of country folk in September, 2011, charting his transformation from rock star to cheesemaker as he moves to a farm in Oxfordshire.

Famous quotes containing the word writing:
“All writing comes by the grace of God, and all doing and having.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A man who publishes his letters becomes a nudist—nothing shields him from the world’s gaze except his bare skin. A writer, writing away, can always fix himself up to make himself more presentable, but a man who has written a letter is stuck with it for all time.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“One of the few things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book, or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
