Definitely. People should go where the real snow is. Like Manitoba.

Nero Artlada’s The Monster, The Master
This morality play inspired the subplot for one of my upcoming books.
Nero Artlada’s The Monster, The Master
“Monstret, Mästaren,” Nero Artlada, Lomma, Sweden 1622.
Translated and revised in 1978 by Andrea Tolar, University of Stockholm.
A servant and a master walked along the shoreline of the River of Good and Evil.
“Master,” the child said, “how do I know if I am pure in my motives an

“It’s rare to see a man step up and say “I can be a great father and learn about gymnastics with my daughter and take her to dance lessons because I love her.” I can make time to blow bubbles on the back porch. It doesn’t cause your man card to be revoked.”

“Pound it out, get it done, write every day. No excuses. Kerouac said you can’t wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club. Damn straight. You’ll sleep a lot better getting your word count in than another quick Twitter check or keeping up to date on the Kardashians.”

“I take the rawest, realest moments in anyone’s life and I open them up and lay them bare. The innocence of a five year old child, the awkwardness of a teenager’s first sexual encounter, the heartbreak of longing for a relationship you can’t have, confronting the possibility of the death of your newborn child, whatever it is, you open your soul and put it out there and dare the world to read it, ready to have them stomp on you and laugh, but ready to do it again the next day. You have to put yourself out there as a writer, you can’t play it safe. Great writing isn’t safe.”

If you missed out, here's a deal: tomorrow the eBook will be on sale in a Kindle Countdown, as my way of saying THANK YOU for making this promotion such a success! You guys are the best!
I'm very happy with the results of my Goodreads giveaway so far! Today's the last day, so don't miss out!
I'm very happy with this Goodreads giveaway promotion so far! Did you enter to win a signed copy of my book yet? There's still time!https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...
Dang, I have 68 Goodreads followers! I feel like I have to be careful what I say now.I won't, but I feel like I should.
Wow, over 170 people have registered to win one of my signed books in the Goodreads giveaway. That's kinda flattering, really. Thank you!
My Goodreads giveaway is going fairly well! I'm impressed.
Looks like my Goodreads book giveaway is chugging right along! That's a relief!
Launched my Goodreads promo today! Let's see how that goes. You can register to win one of 5 signed copies of "Savvy Stories, funny things I learned from my daughter."
Maybe I should get the link for that...
I'm getting READY to do a giveaway with Goodreads. I say getting ready because I tried to set it up about twelve times already and I keep getting an error message. So apparently I'm even more inept than I thought. But I'll keep at it and let you know. Hopefully soon.
Started "Bird By Bird" today, after a recommendation from another author. I'm sure it's blasphemy to say I don't like it but so far - 30 pages in and loooooong into (24 or so pages, so just over 50 pages total) I haven't read anything I didn't get from author's groups or blog posts or already learned myself (except her not very funny bio) over the last three years.Hoping it improves. Not saying it isn't a quality read, just saying it's not what I expected from the recommendation I got. That said, if I had read this three years ago when I was just starting out, I might have found it more insightful. As it stands I'm seeing it validate a lot of things I've already concluded, learned and taught to others, which is satisfying.
I know, I know, this makes me sound arrogant. I'll post a fair review when I'm done, I promise. It might be a tremendous help to new authors; I'm not saying it's not.
If you loved it, let me know why. I'd be happy to hear it. Honest.
Also started "Wool" by Hugh Howey. It has a "grabber" of an opening, something I try to utilize but not every writer does, and it sure makes a difference. Ten words in, I'm dying to know what happens. That's a big deal and encourages me to go ahead and make the changes in my latest book I've been considering making.Hoping this one is as good as advertised.
BTW, you guys give away a LOT of spoilers in your reviews! I'll have to watch that!
I'm getting ready to do a Goodreads promotion, giving away a few signed copies of one of my books. Is any particular day better than another to launch?Marketing. So much fun.
Thanks for the friendvite, Dan! Hope to see you around Goodreads!
Today I am reading... my book, doing edits. UGH.Also, I'll read some Critique Partner chapters this evening, after a round of where did we put Elf on the shelf???
