Let’s have some fun on this Tumblr. I feel like we need to do something, so let’s do it. I have 10 copies of Two Wrongs Make a Vice to give away. Not only do you get the book, but some event posters, color bookmarks, a letter, and some other fun stuff. The books will all be signed and personalized.

dommferger asked: Have you ever almost given up on your dream? What made you continue if you did?
A Life at Sea.
It comes and it goes. It’s the hole in your throat…
The one they punched in over the weed you’d smoke.
And it’s the way you saw yourself off on the boat
That set sail in the middle of last fall. Winter at sea
Proved to be choppy and freezing. No cell phone
Service and no decent eating…just the thinning skin
On your back and the bones showing through…
