I can't remember you previously writing about drinking to ease depression - usually you seem to drink in joy and celebration!<br /><br />You forgot to put "(heh)" after the phrase "open to experimentation."<br /><br />Are there wine bottles in a rack behind the LOLBunneh? That would be a wild coincidence...<br /><br />And, the "bunneh" is not going to be the weird thing. Typos are <i>de rigeur</i> when it comes to LOLCatz images.

Most people who do not live in the NW don't know that Oregon and Washington have some really great wines.<br /><br />I do find it odd that waking up under the couch (presumably with a hangover) actually gave you positive perspective. My hangovers don't work that way. Give me a day AFTER the hangover, and I'm there.<br /><br />In answer to the most pressing question, though, I like NEW authors. Too often I find authors (or their editors) pidgeonhole their works too much, so that they are too alike after the first few. I tend to eventually move on if an author doesn't come up with new stuff. I love finding diamonds in books, though, without having any previous knowledge of the author.

That must be a first for you, right?<br /><br />If I drunk alcohol (sorry, can't stand the taste, and I'm sure that's why I'm not a fantastic writer by now) I'd be the kind who picked up a new wine per visit to store, but when I'd been forced to pour out some undrinkable bottles (are there such?) I would sneak back to my comfy shelves and pick out something I know I'll enjoy - just to cleanse the bitter taste of not-my-thing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869145555938203736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-5493077881630114182011-01-19T08:21:25.984-08:002011-01-19T08:21:25.984-08:00I know!

I'm not a wine fan, so perhaps it's the Woodbridge/Mondavi thing, who knows? <br /><br />What about the typos? Bunneh and yur? Or that the photo says bed when you were under your couch?<br /><br />If only you'd picked chocolate instead of wine.... <br /><br />Reading outside our comfort zone is critical for those of us who want to be writers... or even just better readers. I've read a number of your recommendations and enjoyed them all. Definitely open to experimentation! <br /><br />What sticks with me the most are characters I can care about... I don't forget them the moment I shut the book. Genre fiction follows a certain formula; there's no getting around that. But you can write to that formula in ways that endear your characters to your readers.Patty Blounthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928111057602279792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-78919111245669502402011-01-19T07:47:33.446-08:002011-01-19T07:47:33.446-08:00The only thing I noticed other than a 4 a.m. posti...The only thing I noticed other than a 4 a.m. posting time were the words "Oregonian pinot noir" since most people say Oregon pinot, and the Oregonian is a newspaper :) but I'm really reaching here!
