Patry Francis Day: Bookulation!
I’m hardly new to writing, but I’m kind of new to the on-line writing community. I certainly don’t read enough to keep up with most of them but I do enjoy how they advise and support each other. That’s why I’m jumping on this bandwagon today, to ask you to look at a book by a writer who’s overcome lots and has lots more yet to overcome - just about when she got her “your book is being published” letter, she was dx’d with bad cancer. Now it’s a matter of getting her good words out to as many people as the blogternet can reach, and my litpark friends - about 300 of them - picked today to do that. I’m one of them, I guess. So check yourself out some Liar’s Diary when you get the chance. Judging from the company the author keeps, it probably kicks ass.
Since I’m being literary and stuff, I actually did read some book-like things recently: this and this. And I’m currently reading this, which has a brooding air of impending horror about it but Kel tells me it’ll all be okay in the end, but regardless it creeps me out so I’m taking too long to finish it. Plus, Kel just finished the first one of these and apparently I’d love them and will drink them down like cold yoohoo on a hot afternoon. So I’m not sure when I’m going to fit in Liar’s Diary but I intend to. You too, right? Good, thought so!
