My Top Ten Reasons
Why I adore the way Tod Goldberg writes�..
�
- Tod has the ability..keen as well�to write any
genre and not sound like a fiction writer �wanna be writing� non-fiction.
- Tod writes well because Tod is well endowed in
the personality department.� Teehee
beavis, I said well endowed about a married man.
- Tod�s characters are real, usually
dysfunctional, and always likable because likeable dysfunction is so much
more fun to read than unlikable anyone�s.
- He slays dragons and saves damsels in
distress.
- He openly and publicly admits to saying things
like this� �I�m no good with the female mind,� �I get muddled up in the
whole estrogen factor.�� (If this
is not reason enough then I don�t know what is!!!!)
- Tod has a huge , er�I mean HUGE grasp on what
marriage is.� It�s obvious in his
book Living Dead Girl, in my opinion anyways..and obvious in anything he
writes whereby he relates to his wife.
- Tod knows the weird idiosyncrasies of life�the
strange thoughts that we have within and rarely speak about out loud.� These humanalitys (common human
traits..yes it should be a word) that we all have.
- Tod does not use BIG ostentatious words, but
rather eliminates the small-unneeded words.
- When asked for his opinion on writing, he is
honest, brutally honest because in my opinion he loves the craft far more
than he worries about being true to a person�s friendship with the use of lies.� This simple fact indicates trueness to
his work, believability.� I doubt
he would tell anyone a dress makes them look thin when he�s thinking of a
way to construct a sentence to indicate �she wore a dress whose pinstripes
tangled themselves up inside her cavernous folds..�� (frig that was good of me, maybe
someday I will be as good of a writer as Tod��
- He is real, he is genuine and �and�.he�s just
odd enough to wanna be my friend.�
:-)

*� It should be duly
noted that Mr. Goldberg has kickass taste in music.� This has nothing to do with his writing
skill, just needs to be duly noted�
