Comedian/writer/talk-show and podcast host Chris Gethard brings his critically acclaimed one-man, off-Broadway show to HBO . Released in April 2017 89 minutes AMAZON US 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. 1/5 **No compensation was received for posting. Compensation may be earned from the links within.

VICKI LEWIS THOMPSON is a New York Times bestselling author who worked as a journalist and a high school English teacher before deciding to become a romance novelist. She was the recipient of Romance Writers of America’s Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award, and has published more than 100 books. 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,
