Steven Martin



Ok, we all love Steve Martin,
Yes, he can be a little coukey sometimes
But I have to be honest and say
I didn’t realise he was more than a comic actor! (hanging my head in shame)

Much to my surprise he is also an author, playwright, producer, musician and composer as well!

Therefore, I would just like to give an awed bow down to Steve,
And share with you some of my favourite quotes.



“A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.”


“I saw the movie, 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' and was surprised because I didn't see any tigers or dragons. And then I realized why: they're crouching and hidden.”


“Talking about music is like dancing about architecture.” 


“You know that look that women get when they want to have sex? Me neither.” 


“Thankfully, persistence is a great substitute for talent.” 


“Comedy is the art of making people laugh without making them puke.”

Quote of the Day

The discipline of writing something down is the first step towards making it happen.


Lee Iacocca, former Chief Executive of the Chrysler Corporation



Abbreviations

We all must be very careful when using abbreviations as the can be quite a Handful!


This was part of a form that was on my desk today in work to be worked through. 
I know it's Friday, but come on!

Mind you I think I might like to meet an Ass Manager! 
Wonder what their job entails???
Could I apply?

GayRomLit Retreat 2012

It's that time again.
The details have been announced for This Years GayRomLit Retreat




Here are the details if any of you are interested,
But hurry up, theirs not many more places left!


Registration is now underway for the second annual GayRomLit Retreat. This year's event will occur October 18-21, 2012 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
We call it a retreat instead of a conference or convention so that the emphasis can be on building relationships, reinvigorating creative energies, and presenting varied and informal opportunities for readers, authors, and publishers to renew friendships and make new ones.
The information that contains the preliminary program of events and activities planned as well as details you'll want to know about registration, hotel, transporation, and more will be available soon. While we're confident that most events and activities will occur as stated, some details were still awaiting confirmation at the end of Publisher Registration.
This is the must-attend event for all who enjoy creating, reading, and publishing gay romance. Registration is limited to a maximum of 400 people so don't delay. We hope to see you in Albuquerque!

Overall Book of the Year:


Soldier is a loner, scarred, damaged and aimless when he discovers someone is using the house on the property he has come to town to investigate.

Staying to look into the situation adds more to his life than he ever dreamed possible, leaving him championing seven boys whose lives had been as ravaged as his.

Suddenly his life has purpose, meaning.

The other unexpected development is Dillon. Resigned to a life spent alone, it's hard for him to wrap his mind around the fact that Dillon returns his feelings. Every minute spent counseling and protecting the boys makes Soldier's life richer, but it makes it hard to spend time with Dillon.

Can he find a way to take his new life and make it everything he wants it to be?
