Today is a day where I can't, for the love of me, accomplish anything. I finished rewriting chapter 11 of Solace and my brain stopped working with me. The only thing I seem able to do is write Nicholas Sparks facts on Twitter. If you don't know who Nicholas Sparks is, you might be blessed or you might have a healthy amount of testosterone in your body. Just the right amount of male hormones to stay blissfully ignorant. He is apparently a well-balanced man, with a fruit n' veggies look who wrote those corny romance novels/movies that you may or may not have seen. His biggest successes are The Notebook, A Walk To Remember and Dear John.
I'm not too sure how this Sparks Facts trend have started, but I think it has to do with this tweet Mr. Sparks did, asking the internet who in the world, right now was watching one of his movies. It might also have something to do with this guy named Evil Wylie. Yeah, no ego at all. Wherever he sleeps or eat or take his shower, Mr. Sparks is convinced someone is being touched by the magic of his writing voice. Having you ever notice that every female romance writer looks completely normal, but eighty percent of the male ones look like absolute, insincere tools? Like Nicky Sparx here for example. Anyway, if you're into Twitter, you can follow #sparksfacts hashtag and have some of the fun. Here are a few greatest hits to tempt you.
