from amidst the muck of a too long winter

the faded dirt and curled leaves

comes a vibrant sign of spring

albeit falsely placed

Thank you to Nick Miller for answering my “Any words of wisdom for a wannabe writer?” survey.

This is timeless, simple advice that I struggle with daily.

CONGRATULATIONS to Nick on the recent publication of his debut novel Isn’t It Pretty To Think So?
Check it out now as an e-book and paperback as of Monday (June 11th).

Dear friends,
Sometimes doing art for a living is like being punched in the face over and over again while you’re trying your best to walk a straight line. Sometimes it’s like waking up after a long night of nightmares and realizing the dreams weren’t real and that the day you have ahead is nothing but sweet life and freedom. The trick is to remember the latter exists when the former is riding you into the dirt. The trick is to remember the upside when you’re down.
Your friend,
-Adam Gnade

Today’s novelists do things a little differently. They draw inspiration from a myriad sources, but none that are intellectual.

BRB, taking notes.

Ha! There is a valuable lesson to be learned from this infographic:

Be sure that the “horniness” plot line and the “cannibilism” one never intersect.
