Sweet! You can make title responses: CRY MORE
Don't put me in the group that mentioned these contests, thanks. You know, seeing as I didn't.
As for you knowing it was a "hokey," contest, why waste our time putting a post up stating that you were selected as a semi-finalist if you knew this...
Nice job picking up on the sarcasm there. Anyhow, finished the book, and as expected, the ending sucked. Not great, not bad, but somewhere in the middle. 3/5
Then...why would you mention being selected as semi-finalist if you knew this? You're tripping over your own feet, man. Next thing you know you'll be waddling away like a penguin, if you don't keep your head up.
Oh, and uh, yeah--it's not a horror novel. There's no blood or guts. Just twelve year old kids uppercutting dogs in the jaw.
EDIT: Here's what Stephen King SHOULD have used for a teaser to Blaze. Brief, but well meant.

"I said that's quite a rod you got on you."
Joe...
So I was at Borders hanging out and shiz. I see Blaze. I decide, 'hey, what the heck?' and pick it up. I slough threw the opening teaser chapters. I make it to the next one. And then the next one. And then the one after that. Before I know it I'm on page 88 and loving Blaze, for it's lack of...
Wait, so "iPoetry," is the actual poem, and "Anatomy of a Thunderstorm," is the title? I went to look at the former and see why it may have done well, though. iPoetry was good, and the title of the latter seems to fit with the building tension in emotion. That's pretty fucking ironic, but it...
Stories that you don't care about tend to kick the shit out of stories you put your heart in to, anyway. Yeah, technology has advanced qutie rapidly, hasn't it? Have you seen Microsoft's next project?
Microsoft Surface -- Youtube. Crazy stuff.
I thought this was amazing and very well-paced until the end, when the revelation of what's really going on hits home. I'd suggest tweaking the ending to something more believable, as the first half was a surreal dive into a memorable setting and a quick look at a characters personality, and it...
I doubt you talk like this in real life, to actual people, face to face.
I'm sure your actual day-by-day conversations regarding your little milieu (you have one, I hope--or do I?), go something like this:
Thrust: Yeah, uh...I'd like, two small orders of double cheesburgers, one small...
Aye; the chapter posted on his website was pure garbage, and after reading the synopsis of the actual plot I can't say that I'm too interested. However, I will be picking it up, finding a nice comfy chair in the bookstore and giving it a whirl. I won't be buying it, though, unless I find myself...
It? Needful Things? Gerald's Game?
I have all three plus the one mentioned above on my desk, and I've pecked at the beginnings of each, I just want to know which one I shoudl delve into first.
So, what would you suggest out of the four?
So, was REDRUM supposed to captivate me? That's a problem. I knew what the goddamned thing was the moment I saw it and thought, "Oh, you can't be serious..."
But no, it came back for a secound round-a-bout.
Anyhow, I picked up Pet Semetary yesterday. Give me thoughts on that.
I've never been a fan of baseball. It's way too slow a sport for my tastes.
I prefer to chase people down and hit them, i.e Soccer and Football.
Oh! And I love Tennis and Fencing as well. One on one sports rock, because when you win, your narcissistic little ego doubles in size. Mine...
Dead Man's Chest
At World's End
Curse of the Black Pearl
In that order. I enjoyed it, and the scene where Sparrow was on the white beach going bonkers--man oh man that rocked. I was reading a thing on Depp the other day and supposedly he's the one who made Jack the loony guy that he is...
When someone tells you that they enjoy watching television, and on inexplicable primal instinct you tackle them to the ground and begin to bludgeon them to death with a hardcover copy of The Stand.
In the process of this your bookmark falls out, and of course you have no choice but to indulge...
But...you suck. He's stating an otherwise very astutue observation which subsequently leads to an otherwise very witty remark. And that in itself is quite true as well. Now then, good sir...
...I shall return to my tea.
I prefer regular wooden pencils when I'm writing longhand, and I prefer two. One for the writing, one for gnawing on (they look like chew toys when I'm done with them, it's awesome).
I only use mechanical when my writing needs to be neat and legible--the invariably pointy tips always make...
