AWESOME QUOTE ABOUT THE PROCESS OF WRITING

AWESOME QUOTE ABOUT THE PROCESS OF WRITING - from George R.R.Martin:

“I think there are two types of writers, the architects and the gardeners. The architects plan everything ahead of time, like an architect building a house. They know how many rooms are going to be in the house, what kind of roof they're going to have, where the wires are going to run, what kind of plumbing there's going to be. They have the whole thing designed and blueprinted out before they even nail the first board up. The gardeners dig a hole, drop in a seed and water it. They kind of know what seed it is, they know if planted a fantasy seed or mystery seed or whatever. But as the plant comes up and they water it, they don't know how many branches it's going to have, they find out as it grows. And I'm much more a gardener than an architect.” 
― George R.R. Martin

Apparently I am both a gardener when I pick up a spade and crack open my PC- John R.Stuart

Here's another positive 4 STAR review for RAMBLE ON...

Here's another positive 4 STAR review for RAMBLE ON...- left on Amazon.ca

"Ramble On was one of the most enjoyable books I have read. I loved relating to the groups and song titles in each chapter. You were totally surprised at all the twists and turns that happened when you least expected them, and all the characters were so real to life you felt you where right there with them every step of the way. Rock and rolling all the way to the end."

5 Star Review for RAMBLE ON…

5 Stars for RAMBLE ON…

As an independent writer I live for moments like this- the first 5 star review for RAMBLE ON… my ode to Drugs, Sex & Rock n Roll.

What an amazing book! Everything from the music selection to the history of weed and rock n roll, I enjoyed every chapter. This book was definitely a page turner. The characters were well described and portrayed. You can learn a lot of about rock n roll and reflect on your life decisions. This story really makes you think about the wrong and right decisions you made in your life. And if you did make a wrong decision, did you learn from it and not let it repeat itself or did it shape you to what you have become. You start thinking about your own character in life. The idea of listening to each music selection while reading a section was a awesome idea. There were a few slow parts in the book, but it always picked up. And the END, was such a SURPRISE! I could not believe how this story turned out. What a shocker. A book to remember. I look forward to reading other materials from this author. Well written!!
