Well, that remains to be seen, but even so - I'm sure it'll all be
in good fun, and hopefully we'll get around to talking about that whole
writing and reading thing I like so much. Anyway, there is the chance
to win some free stuff tonight. The contest is simple. In the header
of all my main website pages:
is
a quote from an author I adore, or for some reason or other, the quote
strikes my fancy. However, they all have one thing in common: each of
them express my feelings about the art of writing fiction, some from a
craft perspective, life perspective, and even artistic perspective.
The challenge? How do they rate in order of importance to me and my
craft? A neat test for those who know me both online and in real life,
or for those who don't know me - well, the odds aren't that bad,
because I want to give away lots of stuff.
So...Greg Hall - host
of the Werepig - will post this link and the question tonight.
Interested folks will come here and post their answers in the order
they think the quotes rank in "my writing world". All you have to do is
post the author's last name. For example: say my five featured authors
were Salinger, Shakespeare, Whitman, Twain and James. You'd post in
the comment section the following, from 1 - 5, or 5 - 1, whichever
strikes your fancy:
1. Shakespeare
2. Salinger
3. Whitman
4. James
5. Twain
1 being most important, of course, and 5
being least important. The comments will be moderated, so they won't
appear. Winners will be announced a little later in the week. What
are we giving away?
1st Place: "The Kevin Lucia Gift Pack" - really handy if you need doorstops and paperweights, or you're low on firewood for the upcoming winter months. A copy of
Coach's Midnight Diner, which includes my "Editor's Choice" story
Way Station, a copy of
Abominations: 17 Tales of Murderous Monsters, which includes my story
The Water God of Clarke Street, RAW: Brutality as Art, which includes my story
A Willing Donor, Malpractice: An Anthology of Bedside Terror, which includes my story
Therapy, and
Issue #5 of Shroud Magazine, which features an excerpt from my upcoming novella,
Hiram Grange & The Chosen One.
So
there. Free stuff. The best part? All these prizes feature other
authors and great fiction, too, so you can't go wrong. Really. You
can't. Honestly!
Hope you'll listen in.
