Ask Dingbang!: 500th Bo’s Cafe Life Post!

Posted in Interview, Uncategorized by Wayne on June 28, 2011

First, I can’t believe that this is my 500th Bo’s Cafe Life post! I sincerely thank you for taking the time to read Bo’s Cafe Life, a comic that is the result of my 10+ years of trying to get a fiction book deal. I also thank you for your comments; they inspired me to keep creating Bo’s Cafe Life. I’m looking forward to creating another 500 strips!

Write your “Ask Dingbang!” question about writing in the Comments section. If your question is chosen, you’ll get a special Bo’s Cafe Life gift!

Congratulations, Wayne! Amazing what talent, humor, and unlimited caffeine can do! 😀

And I agree with Dingbang — what if Anne McCaffrey had waited around for the dragons to show up before she started writing about Pern?

  Thank YOU, Sarah! And you’re definitely right about what unlimited caffeine can do! 😀 Hmmmm… “Waiting for Dragons” could be a great title for a book!

Congratulations to you, Wayne, and to your “gang.” Five hundred is fantastic! I wish you many, many more plus, of course, a good multi-book deal!

Wayne – congrats on your 500th post! I can only aspire…..and thanks, too, for picking my question. I considered the topic a few months ago in an article:

http://ezinearticles.com/?Write-What-You-Know?-No,-Dont-(With-Full-Apologies-to-the-Literary-Orthodoxy)&id=4054777

…but I must admit: Dingbang and Bo came to the same conclusion in a much more fun way :).

Looking forward to coming back and visiting you often,

Mohamed
