I always liked to read. One of my favorite authors is Patrick McManus.
"They shoot canoes, don't they"
"Never sniff a gift fish"
"How i got this way"
And LOTS of others.
"Real ponies don't go OINK" i think is another one.
VERY funny stories! Ifr you like Montana Bob's stories, you will like these.

My girlfriend's second book, rather the rough draft. I get to proofread, 243 pages of A4, single spaced (single-sided =/). And she wanted to double-space it.

Extremely long story short, it's fantasy and she's been looking for an agent. Got her first one published through a small-scale on-demand publisher for cheap.

What kind of fantasy? I can't help with the agent part, but I can definitely buy a copy if you let me know how. I read a lot of fantasy, and am always looking for new authors to try.

BTW: stuff submitted to publishers/agents/etc should always be doublespaced. Its easier for them to read.

So your girlfriend was right. 🙂

The Dark Tower series is on my queue.

I'm currently reading The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. The first 8 books were pretty f***** good. My wife went to Barnes and Noodle the other day to find book 9 for me but it's not there. Dang it.

I had just finished "That's just Kramer" by Ron Kramer, Packer TE from the early 1960's.
I was surprised at how good a book it really was.

Not being much of a reader of much of anything and thus being of no help in narrowing down generes, I asked her.

"Well, it's young adult in the sense that the main characters are mostly teenagers. I'm actually not sure what the sub-genre for this kind of fantasy is. It's not steam or cyberpunk, just 'fantasy' implies high-fantasy...I guess 'modern fantasy with some sci-fi elements'... Paranormal's not really appropriate because that implies exclusivity with warewolves, vampires, maybe some witches, and they're generally not bigger stories. But, I suppose paranormal would be closest."

As for the book, here's a link but she wanted me to note that this is an old draft, since then she's been working on a rewrite for a better contract/publisher.

I think they have excerpts on the website too.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (5h) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (6h) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (7h) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (10h) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (10h) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (10h) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (11h) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21h) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Of the times we've played there, I just can't recall hearing our fans.

wpr (16-Dec) : Well done jdlax. Well done.

wpr (16-Dec) : I think more likely to be Pack fans that live in the area.

wpr (16-Dec) : Pack fans represent. I pointed it out early in the game to my wife. Announcers said Packers travel well.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : That was crazy to hear go pack go in Seattle of all plays. That 12 man thing an all

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!

jdlax (16-Dec) : Mucky, there were too many of us there to credit any single one but for sure i was 60% responsible.
