And Ten Years Later . . . The Big Book Deal

April 6th 2008





I wrote a short story called "Aria." 




(I had to go back and double-check that date before starting this blog. I found it buried in the deepest recesses of my Gmail, the first draft I'd sent to a friend to read and tear apart. When I saw that the date on the email was, in fact, April 6th, I nearly had a heart attack. You'll understand why if you stick with me here.)

Quotes by Allison M. Dickson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I've tried to explain to people that I don't 'love' writing any more than I 'love' breathing. It's something I do and it's something I need. If I thought about it as a love/hate thing, I probably would have quit long ago. And then died.”
Allison M. Dickson

“Don't for once ever think that what you're doing is easy. If it feels that way, you're probably doing something wrong. Throwing words onto a page is easy. But writing, the real kind, is hard. It's damn hard.”
Allison M. Dickson

“She has also found nirvana in wearing yoga pants with no intention of doing poses, peace in ignoring ingredient lists, calories, and macro counts.”
Allison Dickson, The Other Mrs. Miller

“Be careful about reading health books. Some fine day you'll die of a misprint.”
Markus Herz

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
Oscar Wilde

“The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use them.”
Philip K. Dick

“For this moment, nothing matters. Look up into the stars and you're gone.”
Chuck Palahnuik

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

[Kung Fu Monkey -- Ephemera, blog post, March 19, 2009]”

Byron  'Giggsy' Paul can't wait for my copy of Dead Wives Tales to double in value.


Byron  'Giggsy' Paul ha. sometimes I think I spend more time reading reviews and comments on Goodreads than I do reading books


Allison Dickson I've been a member of GoodReads for awhile now, and I'm still pretty sure I have absolutely no idea how to use it.
