This is definitely a blog that people need to get behind. The problem is, no one wants to do a great deal of reading and not have something else to stimulate the mind. pariuri sportive pariuri online biletul zilei biletul zilei meciuri live bonus pariuri case pariuri

While I admit Scott Sigler has done a great job with marketing and creating buzz…well, ok he has done a spectacular–his writing is not great. I've read over 500 horror novels and am a huge fan of the genre. Sigler reads like a rip off of a video game like Resident Evil. From a literary standpoint, his work is laughable. It's not scary and his gore is ineffectual. I know he has many followers, but so does Justin Timberlake. Sorry, but someone has to speak the truth

I’m glad Scooter involved you in this campaign, Chris. You both are of a similar mind. Though one of you is less abrasive in public than the other. I’ll let you decide which.

There is little doubt that Scott is quite the marketing machine when it comes to him and his work. But he comes by it honestly: When he’s out there hustling — something he does as soon as he take his morning leak — he’s doing it with all of his heart and soul. It’s never EVER fake. Over the top? Sure. But genuine.

That’s where a lot of the follow-alongs to Scott fail, to tell the truth. They think all they have to do is a make a serialized audiobook and the fans will come. Not true. It takes work. It takes a near single-minded focused. Me? I’m too scattered and flighty to pull it off. Good thing I don’t write.

But all the hustle in the world won’t make up for shoddy work. I have no idea if Scott is a “perfect” writer or not. I know that I enjoy his stores — both in my ears and on the page. The question of “real talent” is un-quantifiable and moot. There isn’t a litmus test you can give for talent. It’s a two way street. But then again, I’m the guy who thinks that The Presidents of the United States of America, Cake and the Aquabats are among the best music out there. So who am I to judge?

Thanks for this information Chris, it’s always great to see a success story.
@Scott Sigler: I’m an aspiring horror / transgressional fiction writer myself who is writing his first novels: one novel, and a compilation of short stories. This is the first I’ve heard of you and seen your site. For someone like me, really a little lost in how the business works, the idea of getting published by a major publisher seems almost impossible. I believe in my ability to write and believe I have talent, but it is no small feat to become well known. You have definitely given me hope that it can be done! Not only that, there are new ways to make it, just as you have done. You have really inspired me to not quit and to get serious about my own work. I have a long way to go! You are one inspiring guy and I am glad to have come across you. Thanks so much :smile:

Holy smokes- your blog now officially hits boths sides of my head! I loved “Infected” and was drooling waiting for Contagious. Now through your blog I find it is already out there. Better yet it reminded me to link up to Sigler’s site.

BTW- Sabrina to each their own. If you don’t enjoy his work, then don’t read or support it. Worse, you didn’t help anyone either. Looking at your post I see no recommendations. To wit- I am always on the look out for new stuff! I found Scott through “The Levithan Chronicles” (http://www.leviathanchronicles.com/). There are also a couple of other authors mentioned by Levithan author Laputka that I need to find. Heck now I see Scott (thanks to Chris pointing it out again) has at least one other podiobook I want to hear.

Oh and don’t forget podiobooks.com has all sorts of other genres and authors. And they let you donate and say 75 percent goes to the authors.
