The Taliban doing mind control of GSS. Have him take over the Ski Sundown base lodge along with his Match.com date who is actually a Talaban agent. A Pulp Fiction-esque dialog.

GSS's Match.com date: "I love you, Pumpkin."
GSS: "I love you, Honey Bunny."
GSS's Match.com date: "All right, everybody be cool, this is a robbery!"
GSS: "Any of you fxxxing pricks move, and I'll execute every motherfxxxing last one of ya!"

GSS grabs Greg's demo bump skis. Greg comes out of the mens room with his .44 magnum.

Greg: "Normally, both your asses would be dead as fxxxing fried chicken, but you happen to pull this sxxt while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you these bump skis, they don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much sxxt this morning over these bump skis to hand them over to your dumb ass."

you forgot the best part-

Greg- 'The path of the righteous mod is beset on all sides with the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost skiers. And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance and with furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my website. And you will know that my name is greg when I lay my vengeance upon thee!'

Nope, didn't know that.

I'm having a book published!

Every time I see this title, it reminds me of, "I'm having a baby."
So Diva, now that you've done it all, does it compare?

 

[Ski Diva]

Trust me, you do not want to go there.

Suffice it to say that if writing a book was like having a baby, no men would write books.

 

[ctenidae]

Awesome.

Hopefully you never get reviewed in quite the way another NE author does:

The most striking thing about Mr Brown’s success, however, is not his controversial subject or the provenance of his ideas, but something much simpler: how did such a flawed writer become a global phenomenon? Salman Rushdie described The Da Vinci Code as a “book so bad it makes bad books look good”; Stephen King called it “the intellectual equivalent of Kraft macaroni and cheese”. The new book is no better.

[Ski Diva]

Wouldn't mind if it sold like that, though.

True.

I am going to have to use "the intellectual equivalent of Kraft macaroni and cheese" though.

 

[Marc]

True.

I am going to have to use "the intellectual equivalent of Kraft macaroni and cheese" though.

Another reason for me to like Stephen King? That's unpossible.

And ironic, coming from a guy who's own work has been criticized by some self proclaimed intellectual critics.

Congratulations SkiDiva... that's way cool. Getting a novel written and then published I'd bet is something lots of people dream about and very few get it done. I know I have... and haven't.

I'm curious what kind of novel you dream of writing? You seem more like the type to write a technical manual, than a novel. And I don't mean that as an insult in any way.

Satire. Probably not the intelligent satire you're thinking of right now either, à la Animal Farm. Probably something more the color of Idiocracy but possibly not even that intelligent.

 

[Warp Daddy]

Diva---- that is a wonderful accomplishment and i wish you great success with the sales and marketing ..

I'm sure that i'll be reading it >

Satyrical technical manuals. It's a whole new genre. Really groundbreaking stuff.

For anyone who's interested, there's a review of my book on about.com, as well as one in today's Rutland Herald. It's coming out on January 5, but it's already listed on Amazon and BarnesandNoble.com

That's a nice write up on about.com!
