The problem with endings.

Or at least, my endings. Inspired by our very own Steph over at Maybe Genius.

Today's post is a round-up of some tasty articles from the last week or two. We have Dean Wesley Smith exploding myths, small publisher Chad Post causing controversy by stating the 99c e-books (and John Locke) are "destroying minds", veteran editor Alan Rizler declaring "it's the best time ever to be a writer", news that Tom Cruise is hoping to play the 6'5", 250 pound, Jack Reacher, and much more.

Inspired by yesterday's Wicked & Tricksy post:

Do Real Men Cry?

I turn to books and history for advice, to see if only sissies cry.

Indie authors Mark Edwards and Louise Voss are making history in the UK.

Their second book Catch Your Death has been at the top of the Kindle charts (for all books) for over a week. To top it all off, their first novel Killing Cupid - which has been slowly creeping up behind – is now at #3!

For those unaware of their background, neither of them have a history in trade publishing (like many indie authors, they couldn’t crack the system). They only self-published for the first time in February, and Catch Your Death was released in April.

Overall, they have now sold 20,000 e-books, 17,500 of those in the month of June alone. Staggering.

Did two things to my blog yesterday:
Renamed it from "Where to?" to "A Soldier's Stories" - I think that's far more apt for the contents.
And, I posted the Army's Daily Dozen Calisthenics anyone can use anywhere at any time. No special equipment. And, if you want to add a little more muscle, use some light hand weights.

All comments appreciated.

Is Ulysses a Pretentious POS? Poison or Paradise for the Aspiring Writer?

June 16 is Bloomsday, named after Leopold Blood, the main character in James Joyce's Ulysses. Modern Library listed the book as the greatest novel of the 20th century. It's probably also the most mocked book -- right up there with Twilight, though for ostensibly different reasons.

Is it worth our time? Do you have strong feelings either way? I perform an act of strip mining...

Three links today! Because apart from blog posts, I dropped off the face of the internet. One of the faces, anyway (also, I'm rambling a lot today)
