Hey I needed that pic for the zombie Jesus thread. Thanks!
As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic middle-aged man. He was lying on his soft, as it were fat-laden, back and when he lifted his head a little he could see his dome-like pale belly divided into flabby lumpy segments on top of which the bed quilt could hardly keep in position and was about to slide off completely. His pale white legs, which were pitifully thin compared to the rest of his bulk, waved helplessly before his eyes.

I actually have a series planned. Fantasy books, set modern time in a world were everyone knows about magic. First one centers around a college that helps teens and young adults who a both very powerful but somehow broken. It sets the world and introduces everyone and has a classic goodie vs baddie story. Each book after that follows a different character or two.

For men its violence, for women romance.
Agree with the articleâŚthe essential problem is we are all in our own bubbles now online. If I were to write a computer article on programming (being a software engineer myself) I would start with âWhat is a computer?â and locate the âonâ button. Sounds silly but I always assume we all know nothing, because as experienced and seasoned as I am, having developed web applications for 15 years, I always learn something new from the simplest instructions. Good writers and good programmers know there are many ways to do the same thingâŚnot one way. Therefore a good engineer always starts with the basics, knowing they must always go back to the beginning and relearn what they know. Ive polished my programming skills this way over the years, going back to the basics of programming. I always discover I learn more from those who know very little compared to the experts in my field. Its an ironic truth.

Very risky strategy! The publishing world is already all over that.

âŚthe most dreaded award in the world of books: the Literary Review bad sex prize.
Things they say: An early favourite to join this yearâs shortlist, the return to neurotic form of Helen Fieldingâs Bridget Jones, was judged ânot quite cringeworthy enoughâ.
Excerpts they love: The judges also noted admiringly Eric Reinhardt, in The Victoria System: 'The zip of her skirt sputtered between her fingernails like a motorboat on a waveless sea ⌠My erection beat time in my underwear."
Beware, the author that engages with sexual relations.
