Ben Leroy is Lex Luthor

Yes it's true. Aren't you glad you read this blog to find out all the good publishing news?

Ben Leroy hates superman.  (Small s.)

He says it more cogently over on his blog post at Dead Guy: "If your protagonist is conveniently shiny and skilled" he's boring.

There's some other good stuff here too. Take a look.  Then scuff up your hero, and put him in some genuine hot water, and accessorize him with a sidekick who isn't called "honey."

    Ben Leroy is a rockstar! If I could remember some of the snarky, hilarious things he said to me when we met up in PDX a few months ago, I'd put them here. Just imagine that I did.

    I'm a better person for having met Ben. A better friend to authors and readers there is not.

    The comments on that post are fairly brilliant too.

Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.

If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.


Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.

If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
