It’s an awful thing to worry about sounding trite. Not that one shouldn’t put some effort and though into how they speak, but worrying is silly and counter-productive. Unless your goal is to be miserable. :)
And I will be at the science fiction convention “Norwescon†in the Dealers Room all weekend (Thur-Sun), in Seatac WA, so stop by! (sadly, no Book #2 yet, I won’t have it for another couple weeks). And on Thursday and Saturday go-to-guy/author/madman Daniel Wolff will be at my table too! The hours are Thursday 4-8, Friday 11-6, Saturday 11-6, and Sunday 11-4.
On this occasion, though, isn’t a lot of Bruno’s crazy story actually JAY’S crazy story? ;-)
