Yesterday on my lunch break I stopped by the Romeo & Juliet shop in Gaviidae Common. I was in the mood to buy something nice for myself, after a couple of rough weeks. I found a really pretty necklace with a fused glass pendant.
Looking at the tag, it’s from Wild Dog Studio. So I Googled it and found the studio’s Etsy page. Very pretty stuff in there. And the items are very reasonably priced.
Check out ‘The Dullest Blog in the World,’ a surprisingly delightful commentary on an over-blogged society.
Simple lesson: Don’t force it.
Today my boyfriend shared with me a book review on Amazon.com. It’s fantastic. How lovely to meet (what appears to be) such horrible writing with such genius writing.
Read it here. This sums it up quite nicely:
THE SHADOW GOD is the perfect example of everything that’s wrong with publishing in today’s world. Anyone with the notion–talent or not–can write a “book”, then contact a place like AuthorHouse (“publisher” of this fine volume and, I’m sure, Rayburn’s second novel which I don’t care enough to look up the title to), and unleash this mess on an unsuspecting world. And then we wonder why no one reads anymore. Why should they? If this is the kind of stuff they’re being subjected to.
If you love that, then also visit Pajiba!, which lives by its mantra, “Scathing reviews for bitchy people.” I check it nearly every day.
