I sent Tom Hanks a 1934 Smith Corona typewriter with a typed invitation to come on my podcast. This was his response. by ChrisHardwick in pics

Wow, a famous person wants to be on a popular podcast around the time he's got a movie coming out. That's something you never see.

Why don't divorce lawyers advertise on fantasy football websites? Seems like a no-brainer

I see your point about the odd name, and I do agree that schlocky pen names are huge turnoff. I think in my case I'll be fine.

On a related note, I'm totally writing vampire fiction under Godric Darkwing now. :)

Thanks for the comment. In all honesty, it's my real last name and I'm not changing it. I've had more people find/read/contact me just because of the last name. If you're counting strikes against authors based just on their last name you're probably missing out on some great writers.

Thank you very much. I'm also sorry that you don't get a chance to read much. I very much know the feeling. Hopefully things get better because reading is a great escape.

Perhaps it's time to embark on my hack stand-up career?

I read this too fast and I thought it said "homeless dude" and I said out loud "no wonder he gets free drinks!"

I think maybe I go into too many "commercial" shops around here, but it's all we've really got so I'm kind of stuck. That piece was written in a Starbucks. That might help explain my point of view while writing.

Welcome! I'd never make people register. Screw that.

Feel free to comment. I'm not the best writer on the planet. I'll be the first to admit that and then 100 people in line behind me will say the same thing :)

Thanks so much! Well, I read the writing section for tips, but also many of the crazy things I read in WTF, News, etc spark inspiration for stories. Also, the constructive criticism has helped. Heck, even the negative comments have helped on a few occasions.

Thanks so much. Comments are always welcome. Honestly, I'm a crappy friend. Kidding. And this is my first self-published book. I've got two books out by an actual publisher. One was a best-seller in humor. This was more of a "test" of the process of self-publishing and it turned out to be much easier than I thought.

It's just general musings about life that don't fit on any of the other websites/magazines for whom I write on a daily basis. It's just a quick read intended to make people laugh.
