Looking For Something Different? Check Out "Beer-Battered Shrimp For Cognitive Ruminations:...Different

I've mentioned it before, but one of the fascinating aspects of becoming a writer--that I did not know beforehand--is how well I would get to know other writers. In other creative industries, even though people are happy about others finding success, there's always something that gnaws, something to cause jealousy, envy. It can get ugly, but I've seen it in the film industry, the stage industry, and to some degree, the music industry.

But, from what I've experienced, I haven't found it to the same degree with writers. I think people can be envious of other writers--especially the really successful ones--but writers have to write. Unless someone else is writing everything for you, you're doing it yourself. You really can't bluff your way through it. You've got to put in the work.

I became aware of a project a friend of mine began. It's a kickstarter and if you're looking for something different, give it a chance. You can access the website: HERE. It's an anthology full interesting stories by amazing authors.

Here's a list of the talent involved:

Authors appearing in this collection include:

Deborah Drake • William J Joel • Jaleta Clegg • C H Lindsay • James Dorr • Michaelbrent Collings • Tricia Lowther • Karen Thrower Walker •  Juleigh Howard-Hobson • Scott Huggins • Diane Clark • C Michelle Jefferies • Dianne Arrelle •  Stephan P Mount • Genny Clegg • Jacek Wilkos • Lena Ng • Yrik Max Valentonis • Jude-Marie Green • Rose Blackthorn • A Collings, Age 4 • D J Tyrer • Andrew Wilson • Nemma Wollenfang • Jeffrey G Roberts • Jennifer D Lerud • Karina Fabian • Edward Ahern • Abra Staffin-Wiebe • Jenna Eatough • Stephen Coghlan • Wm Henry Morris

I hope to be able to check out the stories and the artwork. Whenever we get together, at conventions and other events, we always check out what's new. 

I love what Jeleta Clegg says about her project. "My vision is a colorful, quirky little book, a very short story on each page. The authors range from best-selling authors to some just breaking in to some never-before-published authors. The youngest is four. The oldest isn't telling."

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, why not check out something different?

Exactly.
