Smorgasbord Fantasia

Found this to be so relevant and very neatly done. So, were you hoping to get published this year? Well - Get your ass onto Goodreads, once the babies ( I meant your books) are out 'coz you dont want to miss out on this wave that is rapidly turning into a Social Tsunami.  Why Every Author Must Be On Goodreads In 2013 While there, don't forget to add me up onto the friend list :) Happy Reading and Exploring!  

For all newbies writing their own uber-cool fantastical secondary world settings and think it's best the world has seen ever, after Tolkien dumped the Middle-earth on us, well, think again. Here's what Patrick Rothfuss ( Yeah. the same guy, with genial twinkling eyes set behind an awful lot of facial hair and who also wrote two giant tomes - that are award-winning by the way - called the KingKiller Chronicles - read review of first book here. ) - has to say to you : ( Yeah - finger pointing to you, writing your own Gods, Religion, Culture! ) Jokes apart, it's a pretty fascinating read and told in Pat's usually engaging manner. Get enlightened and come say thanks. http://blog.patrickrothfuss.com/2012/04/fanmail-qa-the-biggest-mistake/ Ta-Freaking-da.
