Interview OR Do I sound like a douche?
I gave an interview with the literary journal + website Small Spiral Notebook and now you can peep it here. Do I sound like a douche? I can’t tell. Probably. It’s hard to talk about writing without sounding douchey. Also my author’s photo is really kind of awful. In the rest of the photo I am actually RIDING A HORSE. One of those cheesy ones outside of supermarkets. But they had to cut it all off so I could fit in a square and now it’s just my silly face without the silly horse. Trapped in a square.
Hell, “I think maybe you OK at writing. Maybe. Maybe not. - Annie’s mom” would have been great in large type on the *front* cover.
Well on the front cover, they got like a real author to do a quote so that space was FILLED. However, James Patterson, who wrote Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider and other “thrillers”, actually blurbed HIMSELF in one of the NY Times ads for his latest book. It was something along the lines of “This book would make a terrific movie. - James Patterson”. I thought that was pretty ballsy.
