Writers can be pretentious. That’s why it is important for us to counter that stereotype whenever possible. I offer some ways to do just at today at Adam Robinson’s Publishing Genius blog.

This stop is a big one for me. Oft visitors will know that I am a big Chuck Palahniuk fan (I even defend Tell-All and Snuff). And in being so, it goes without saying that I frequent the official Chuck Palahniuk fan site, The Cult, quite often (I’m thirstygerbil over there). So, when Stranger Will was chosen as the May 2011 official book club pick, I danced a bit.
If you’ve read Stranger Will, please head over to the forums and offer a few comments. Respond to other comments as well. Engage. Be a member of the literary community. Say what you like. Say what you hate. I can take it. And to further encourage your participation, know that I WILL NOT be posting in the book club forum until toward the end of the month, so feel free to be absolutely honest with your discussion. The only caveat being that if some contacts me (via email or PM) with a specific request to comment, then I will.
If you haven’t read Stranger Will, still swing by the forums and read what people are saying. Who knows, maybe it will entice you to read it. Or, maybe it will keep you from wasting your money on it.
Author Brandon Tietz (appropriately, brandon.tietz, at The Cult) will be moderating the discussion. He’s a great writer, and a damn smart guy, so I’m sure he will do my genius justice.

I’m touched and honored. 810 seems like a big number. It makes me wish I had 806 more copies to give away. Thank you to everyone who has entered. There’s still a couple more hours to try for a copy.
Of course, there is always buying a copy, too.
Reading is as important to writers as writing. Simple. Which is why I love when stories stick with me long after reading; it makes me dream that my work will have the same effect. Today at the decomP Magazing blog, I write about three pieces that still work on me, even these many months after originally reading them.

Today at Lit Drift I write about one of my favorite topics: the intersection of cultural intelligence and cartoons. I love cartoons. I love feigning intelligence. I love combining these loves. I hope you love reading about the combination of these loves.
