Mister and Missus lived on a farm that they owned,but they wanted a dog, a dog that could watch the farm and help with the chores.So they decided they will get one in the spring.They wanted a Boarder Collie Mongrel,once spring came they got two Boarder Collie puppies a big strong black one, Angus, and a little brown sorrow one, Sadie. Angus grows up to be strong,clever,and brave.Sadie grows up to be well...Sadie isn't a fast learner and she doesn't obey that well either...she might need some work.
What I like about this story is that I love big friendly dogs and I like this book because all this book is about is two sweet dogs who grow up on a farm and this book is about their adventures on the farm.What I don't like about this book is that Mister and Missus aren't that smart.Like when they chose half boarder collie half mongrel,mongrels are mutts so they would have to get a boarder collie or just a boarder collie half some other dogs they wanted.And when Missus sells vegetables Sadie is with her,even though she has to tell everyone she doesn't like people or kids,I would put the dog in the house,not have kids coming up and wanting really badly to pet the dog!The people in here are just really weird...

It's nearly impossible to support yourself as a writer. Sometimes it helps to explore unexpected sources for inspiration. Like the movies!
Earlier today, I discovered Peter David, the writer who translated the Spiderman, Spiderman 2, and Spiderman 3 screenplays into paperback novels. I really admire and envy writers like David--he turned his passion for Star Trek and comic books into a sustainable career.
Before you go check out Spiderman 3 at the theaters, go check out David's work at Amazon.com.
If you are interested in exploring the novelization business, I interviewed Christa Faust last year about her work on the novelization of the cult film Snakes on a Plane. She gave us some fantastic advice about how to make a living and explore your favorite stories at the same time. Check it out:
"I came into writing novelizations the same way I came into everything I’ve ever done as a writer; through a series of happy accidents... More than one writer I knew had been contacted by former editor Jay Slater from Black Flame (the publisher who was doing tie-in and novelization projects related to New Line properties like Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street and Final Destination.)"
