Love this. I started writing on one very similar to Kerouac’s. I so miss the sound that thing made while I worked. joy.

Just because it made me smile. Happy Saturday!
Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time. At any given moment the floor may open up. Of course, it almost never does; that’s what makes it so boring.
Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.

Does Gage have any tattoos?Yes, Gage has one tattoo that covers his back. It’s a tiger from the Chinese Zodiac and contains potions that alter his appearance.
It’s finally out! Run out and get your copy of Dead Man’s Deal today! Gage gets into new and dangerous messes that you don’t want to miss.

At a workshop not too many years ago a newer writer began to condemn a best selling novel, pointing out all its flaws and jagged edges. I listened for a long time, nodding.
“All those things are true,” I said. And gave him the C.C. Finlay quote. “But until you learn what the good parts were that excited the reader, you’re always going to be bitterly upset about what is wrong with that bestseller. Learn to spot what worked in that book, and you’ll be able to move forward. And you’ll be a lot less upset all the time as well.”
Tobias Buckell on “The fate of today’s book bloggers”
The C.C. Finlay quote: “A novel doesn’t excite readers because you took all the bad stuff out of it, it excites them because of all the good stuff that’s in it, regardless of the bad.”
