Jason Chambers asked me to write something for the “When I Fell in Love” series of posts that they’ve been collecting at Three Guys One Book (my essay is also published at The Nervous Breakdown). I discuss three books that are important to me.  They are:

(I also did a drawing of cream being applied to an eyeball.)

Jason Chambers gave The Complete Collection of people, places & things a really thoughtful read and wrote about it over on the blog to which he contributes, Three Guys One Book. He writes “Here is this sleepy village, populated by tendancies and residents and laws worthy of a strange, pleasant dream. The inanimate shake with life. The episodes are farcical, but at the edge of every joke or wordplay is a hint of seriousness. Or perhaps it’s the reverse.”

3G1B is a fascinating read, especially if you’re a writer who has any concerns about the practical realities of that lifestyle. Between the four contributors (they added another “guy”), they’ve experienced just about every aspect of the writing/publishing continuum, from writing to publishing to selling, indie to major. And they speak about it candidly and specifically. A lot to learn at this site.
