In the previous installment of this series, I noted that I was looking forward to watching some more grown-up fare at the movie theater. Eight months later, I seem to have failed spectacularly at that task. There are a whole bunch of movies for adults, like Boyhood and Whiplash, that I meant to see and never got around to, and here I am again reporting on the more shlocky end of the scale. So

"Where do you get your ideas?" is still the question I get asked most as an author. The second-most-asked question is "How do you write a book?" The answer to both questions is simple: I don't know. But I can tell you how I do it. Writing, like any art form, is whatever you can [...]

4. A.B.C.: the first of (hopefully) many

A.B.C. = Airport Bookstore Commentary
I have visited (and revisited) several bookstores throughout my travels. Mostly in the Denver, Minneapolis and Salt Lake City airports... Anyway, airport bookstores are my favorite type of bookstore in the world (excepting only indie children's bookstores). So I thought I'd share some commentary on each one that I visit.

Bookstore #1: This one's in the Salt Lake City airport. Unfortunately I can't tell you a whole lot about their book selection, browsing comfort, or any of that, because I wasn't able to spend any time in it. It was after I landed in Salt Lake City (earlier this month on the latter part of a trip I took; you know, the one where I met Tony DiTerlizzi in CA?). I was excited to see my cousins and also tired from my long day of traveling, thus I didn't take the time to browse here.

HOWEVER - I simply had to share this bookstore with you, because it boasted a very special feature. Lining the walls above the shelves were some purely brilliant quotes from some of the most famous authors in all of history.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, or, "Fitzy," as I have taken to calling him thanks to Little Willow:
