Today Forbes dot com picked up one of my blog posts. *Grin!* They made it anonymous though.

NaNoWriMo put a kibosh on my editing. I am currently on edit #4 of my novel. I finally made progress today by plugging through Two plus scenes. I have 35 pages of 465 left to review.

Then it's on to number five. The next will be more of a read. Back to structure with a darling hunting knife.

With any luck, I hope in the new year to be able to try to approach agents. We'll see. I don't feel good enough about it yet.
Back after a long hiatus. I am fumbling around WDC, trying to rediscover the nuances of this place. Sorry for any confusion I inflict. :)
I haven't posted any prose in forever. This is a scene I recently wrote for my 2012 novel. I hope you enjoy it.

"Thank you" is the approporiate response to a review. Anything more, good or bad, steps over the line. It now becomes a battle, a wall, or a collaboration. Just say "thank you," assess the feedback in your own way and time, and move on.

No, I'm not aiming this at anybody in particular. It's a general observation all writers should understand. If you wish to discuss, and your reason better be important, ask if it's okay to discuss before jumping in. No means no.
Wrote a half dozen or so reviews over the last day. It's tough work but rewarding. I forgot how much I learn from doing them.
Submitted a piece to CBC's Canada Writes Creative Non-Fiction Contest. Sorry I can't post it here -- it's against their rules. I put a lot of work into this one. I can't say it will win, but it will turn some heads ;)
Moments ago I submitted my entry to Canada Writes' short story contest. http://www.cbc.ca/books/canadawrites/literaryprizes/shortstory/
