Oh

Now I understand why the first syllable of synopsis sounds like “sin:” because there are times when cramming 80K novel into 300 word breakdown feels both wrong and unnatural…

The RWiR Novel

I can’t believe–CAN’T BELIEVE–it’s 3 days until the start of the summer break, 3 days until I’m halfway through the residency.


As part of the residency, I’m doing a Christmas story (still untitled) about a journalist in 1976 Edmonton, investigating the gruesome deaths of mall Santas.


Head here to take a look at the first section!

Snarky Friday

Heh heh. Spam cracks me up:


Hello,


I am ******, member of a group investment company willing to enter into a partnership with any serious entrepreneurial team with big idea…I believe every business man is basically an entrepreneur…


Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but if you’re starting a company, aren’t you DEFINITELY (not basically) an entrepreneur?
