  1. That made me laugh. I knew there had to be a reason that hack took something I had been researching for a year and turn it into pure crap and from that crap make so much money it’s stupid.

    Paul Riddel turned me onto this site and I’ve got the feed going and thankfully you’re making me feel good about my inability to finish anything. At first I thought it was due to laziness that I could never get past research and the outline and the first chapter. Now I’m pretty sure I’m like an addict who is keeping themselves from going back to their favorite drug. I’ll always dance around the edges of want, but I’ll keep away from the actual fix.

    Or something.

    I truly am laughing out loud.

  2. LOL!

  3. Yet another reason to break into Dan Brown’s house and shred all his personal papers–because that’s most likely where he’s hidden this file.

  4. Great stuff! Love your blog. Thanks for the catch on mine. I’ve made the correction.

  5. Dennis, if Brown still had this file, he would have published another bestseller by now. I think Stephen King has a photocopy, though.

  6. Dennis, if Brown still had this file, he would have published another bestseller by now.

    Maybe he forgot the doll? (Weird Science reference)

I really don't want to encourage young writers. Keep them down and out and silent is my motto.
