...in which the protagonist decides to be a late adopter of the blog firmament.

It's been a long time getting around to this, you see.  I stopped doing a radio show on WKCR-FM in New York about six years ago, and ever since I've wanted to get back to talking to writers about what they do and why.  I did a couple quickies for the Voice last year (such as this here), and I sort of dig the short-form interview (The Believer has the long form thing covered in their Writers Talking to Writers series).  So, in this space, on no particular schedule, look to find short-ish interviews with fiction writers who have something relatively new on the shelves.  I might also, very rarely, want to blabber about something I'm reading and why I like it so much.  That being said, I don't plan on doing any book reviews or synopses or ad hominem attacks.

Full disclosure: I'm a writer myself and one who believes that the novel never died, and that literary fiction isn't going the way of the 8-track anytime soon.  We live in a fickle culture in chaotic times and I think, wishful or not, good writing has never been so necessary.

Earn up to $3500/month just by taking simple surveys online!

I tried one of those online survey sites about 4 months ago that
say all you have to do is spend a couple of minutes filling out
some surveys and you will be making hundreds a day..... YEAH RIGHT, I didn't make anything.

I joined 7 of these stupid websites and I actually tried filling
out a couple of surveys on each site and they took forever then at
the end they wanted me to buy things or I couldn't complete the
survey.

These are complete scams so be aware!!! I couldn't believe they
were even allowed to sell such bogus products.

Then about 2 weeks ago I was watching the news and they had some
vice presidents and marketing managers of some major multi million
dollar companies talking about a site that they personally work
with to pay consumers for their opinion, A site that actually just
wants the "average Joe's" honest opinion on products and services
and is willing to pay big money to get them. for more information
