Waves hello
Hi all,
I've been meaning to join the Cult for the longest time, but I've finally found myself some time that I can dedicate to becoming a better reader and writer. From everything I've heard, the pulse of this community is really strong, and I'd love to become part of that. I haven't plunked down the forty bucks for the workshop but will as soon as I've become accommodated to the forum and the blog.
As for me, I'm a 27 year old writer from Toronto. I have my own small press, and typeset and publish people's books for a living. I'm not necessarily looking for clients here, this is really about working on my craft and participating in a vast community of writers and readers.
I'm also looking to read a ton more. I purchased a Sony Reader a few months ago and my reading went way up. I maybe read 7 books last year, but I've read 16 in the last three months with the reader. The review section of this site is really exciting and I'll be subscribing to that.
Anyways, hello!

Is Cujo a good name for a sammich?
Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
Welcome, man.
We'll see you in workshop when you make you're way in. Holler if you have questions about it.

you forgot to ask if he likes twilight!
welcome
Not really a big fan of genre fiction in general, actually. I can see what people liked in Twilight (had to read it for a class) but it contained so many things that aggravated me as a writer of (I try, anyway) realistic fiction. I mean, vampires are one thing: lead characters with doormat tendencies are something else entirely.
-K Sawyer Paul
what class made you read Twilight?
hello
It was a contemporary fiction and pop culture course. The one positive thing I could say about it is that you can get through it in about two hours, which makes the film redundant.

You didn't miss anything.
Welcome.
What I have shown you is reality. What you remember... that is the illusion.
