The Nothing Special Report
Revisions are STILL ongoing, but the end is in sight. I wish I was a writer who could just barrel through and get them done (and sometimes I can), but for these I'd have to mull over possibilities in order to craft the perfect solution, which is probably really not the perfect solution, but fiction is my way of life. I stand by my words.
In book news, we have collected a veritable, sexsortment of articles, starting with the New York Times, which has been, shall we say, rather racy lately?
Sexy books at the forefront of sales Oh, yeah. Somebody stop the presses. Sex sells. This trend has been getting a lot of press lately, and I'm thinking of all those impressionable, writing minds out there that are just lapping it up, thinking, okay, I just need to intern in the porn industry and THEN my story will be fantastic. The Devil Wore Prada becomes the Devil Went Down On Georgia..... Okay, slap me. Sorry.
Using books to check him out I liked this article and noticed that women consider a man reading Harry Potter or science-fiction a turn-off. I would wager a guess that it's mainly a turn-off if he's costumed in his Invisibility Cloak or brandishing his spanking-new light saber.
John Kerry as a romance hero??? In this era of hot political activism and torrid accusations run amuck, I politely refrain from comment.
I love this one, "Meanwhile, the so-called "literary" writers -- spewed out in ever-increasing numbers by creative writing programs and often touting MFAs that have no currency without an added dollop of talent -- are hep to the fact that there's more supply than demand for the character-driven novel."
