REVIEW:
Not my favorite comedian.
A lot of this special was emotional, with some dry humor thrown in here and there, but mostly it was just dry without the humor.
I'm slightly disappointed. 
I feel like I know this guys' life inside and out, but he didn't make it humorous, he made it seem whiny. Watching actually made me sad a few times, and sad for him too.
I know lots of people will probably enjoy Chris's wit, it's just not me.

How-to Tips for Aspiring Writers
1.Be an artist and a businesswoman.A myth persists that all you need is a great book and minions will appear to do the rest. A great book is a good start, but it will languish unless it’s shepherded through the process by an educated author who’s studied the market and researched her publishing options. 2.Turn in clean copy. Pleasing a reader is the goal, whether the reader is your mom, an agent, an editor, or the stranger who plunks down money for your book. No one deserves to be handed a story riddled with typos and grammatical mistakes unless that person has agreed, for love or money, to help you make it presentable. 3.Study story structure. Commercial ficti…

REVIEW:
Bring tissues!
I wish I had read the book first, but the story in the movie was pretty epic.
Henrietta is single-handedly the reason why so many people have lived on. Her cells have been used in so many diseases,  trying to combat or …

As Mare is drawn further into the Silver world, she risks everything and uses her new position to help the Scarlet Guard—a growing …
