I am in a workshop with the most eager writers on earth. I feel like Larry David at a pep rally. I need to stop doing these things.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Victor, you should submit that to this anthology.

It's been hard to line up reviews for Cog from book blogs, but it looks like one will be posted Monday. Not that I have any idea what the review will be like.
The others that agreed to review it all said it would be in the fall so we'll see if they come through or not. I need everything I can get. It's so hard to get any attention. I get excited when I see anyone mention it who isn't selling it, since it's only happened a couple of times that I'm aware of.

Thanks. And thanks for the Amazon review!
Speaking of reviews, I got my first review that wasn't, like entirely positive, but was still mostly positive. Kinda glad for it too as I sometimes worry that having that many really positive reviews will come across as fake.
Alas though, it's just like when my agent was shopping Cog. Lots of really positive reactions but no sales. Up to me to try to break though somehow. I'm thinking about approaching independent (children's in particular) bookstores, but I'm not sure how to go about that exactly.

Oh, I'm sure it was worth what you paid for it.

Hi. I'm new here. I'm interested in writing a nonfiction book proposal and the regular internet is not proving helpful, probably because I don't know enough to search productively.
I write full time as a freelance New Orleans/LA/Gulf South beer/food/cocktail/culture writer. I've been doing it for about 3 and a half years now, and write for a variety of platforms. So if anyone has any questions or wants any feedback for that kind of thing, I'm happy to help!
