"Your life isn't over." My dad says this. "I mean, YOUR life isn't over. Beyond the kids. You'll go on living, doing things. This isn't it." I know, I assure him. I have the kids. They need me. They're my life now. "OK," he replies, then grunts—more of a brief hum. He only hums when he thinks I'm full of shit. Shockingly single. Amy Biancolli's life went off script more dramatically than most after her husband of twenty years jumped off the roof of a parking garage. Left with three children, a three-story house, and a pile of knotty psychological complications, Amy realizes the flooding dishwasher, dead car battery, rapidly growing lawn, basement sump pump, and broken doorknob aren't going to fix themselves. She also realizes that "figuring shit out" means accepting the horrors that came her way, rolling with them, slogging through them, helping others through theirs, and working her way through life with love and laughter. Amy Biancolli is an author and journalist whose column appears in the Albany Times Union. Before that, Amy served as film critic for the Houston Chronicle where her reviews, published around the country, won her the 2007 Comment and Criticism Award from the Texas Associated Press Managing Editors Association. Biancolli is the author of House of Holy Fools: A Family Portrait in Six Cracked Parts, which earned her Albany Author of the Year. Amy lives in Albany, New York, with her three children.

Being Liked Has No Place Here What if you could live in a world where you could do what you wanted to do, say what you wanted to say, and be who you wanted to be? What if you could finally release all of those broad, bold ideas that you've tucked away into the atmosphere? What if, from the tip of your Unconventional head to the bottoms of your Unrestrained feet you could just be free--to live, to love, to breathe? And what if you could do it all without the gripping fear of not fitting in, with anyone, anywhere? Welcome to that UnCloned Life. Beyond a book or brand, UnCloned Life is a state of being. It is a shift in mindset, an eclectic space where acceptance is granted at the door. Here, there is no such thing as a weird person or a crazy idea. UnCloned Life is the essence of freedom, expression, and humanity. Here, we just live--however we damn well please. UnCloned Life: Seven Epic (Un)Rules for Owning Your Shit is a powerful manifesto for anyone who has ever felt excluded from the cool kids club. It's a rallying call to the geeky, the quirky, and the quiet, questionable genius, beckoning them to come out from the shadows of self-consciousness and into the bright, beautiful light of I-don't-give-a--(Well, you know what we mean). By the end of this book, you will: Embrace the truth of who you really are. Release your reservations and inhibitions. Redefine the notion of normal and stop tiptoeing around failure. Shake the spirit of conformity and find the courage to just be.

There's a mantra that real writers know but wannabe writers don’t. And the secret phrase is this: NOBODY WANTS TO READ YOUR SH*T. Recognizing this painful truth is the first step in the writer's transformation from amateur to professional. From Chapter Four: “When you understand that nobody wants to read your shit, you develop empathy. You acquire the skill that is indispensable to all artists and entrepreneurs—the ability to switch back and forth in your imagination from your own point of view as writer/painter/seller to the point of view of your reader/gallery-goer/customer. You learn to ask yourself with every sentence and every phrase: Is this interesting? Is it fun or challenging or inventive? Am I giving the reader enough? Is she bored? Is she following where I want to lead her?
