Author Kurt Vonnegut once said, “When I write, I feel like an armless, legless man with a crayon in his mouth.” I know the feeling. Each new story I write, I consider, “How did I do it before?” I did it without knowing what I was really doing, with odds not in my favor.

“The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.”

“Fiction has been maligned for centuries as being "false," "untrue," yet good fiction provides more truth about the world, about life, and even about the reader, than can be found in non-fiction.”

“A short story is a love affair, a novel is a marriage. A short story is a photograph; a novel is a film.”

“Short stories are tiny windows into other worlds and other minds and other dreams. They are journeys you can make to the far side of the universe and still be back in time for dinner.”

Kristen--I joined Goodreads minutes ago, trying to get a sense of what Goodreads is. I've tried Library Thing and wrote about it, and a few people said I had to try Goodreads. So here I am trying it.
Welcome, Chris! I'll try to be better about updating my "reads" :)
I’d like to introduce myself. Besides being the author of the Jonathon Stones Mystery Series, I am a strong Author's Advocate. I write articles highlighting other authors books. Also, I do author interviews and post them on my blogs. Thanks for friending me. Here’s my latest article.
Authors: The Task of Finding Readers – A Study
Over 30 Outstanding Authors Share Their Experiences.
All authors can learn something from this study.
As they say “This is great stuff. As authors try to gain traction in today’s marketplace. The secret besides writing good books is to find readers and establish relationships.”
You can view the complete study on the blog: HBS Author’s Spotlight
