That's possibly because I'm lucky, but I don't think so. Too many other writers whom I respect say that they don't believe in it either.

The key - at least for me - seems to be always thinking about stories and writing.

Hobtown Mystery Stories Vol. 1 by Kris Bertin
"2.5 stars.

This was not my kind of thing. It’s too quirky and weird. It reminds me of Twin Peaks, which I’m not a huge fan of anyway.

The flow of the story is odd. There are a ton of exposition dumps giving you a bunch of information all at once. Ult" Read more of this review »
