This blog keeps me in touch with WDC. Jamesdillingham.com keeps me in touch elsewhere. |
I have several irons in the fire. My story ESCAPE was just critiqued by one of the judges focusing on technical aspects of the story. She gave me a 3.5 rating which seemed fair based on the number of suggestions she had. Funny, I thought I had this one nailed and every review I get tells me otherwise. The thing is, they are the ones that are right. So I learn something new constantly. My goal is still to make the corrections I need to make and then get this story published. I think it is one of my best. I wrote JUMPERS yesterday in about an hour. I absolutely love the story. I guess that's better than posting a story I don't like much. I love it because it demonstrates that there are no boundaries to what I can make happen to my characters. If I want to see something, I just reach into my magic hat and pull it out. My book AWARE is in the works and due for completion this fall. By week's end, I hope to have the first 10 chapters where I want them. I am anxious to get this done so I can move the story forward. I have applied to join a group. They have a lot of helpful writing activities. I await their response to my application. Jim |
