Heck, I'll send you what I've got, tell you where I think it needs to go, let you mull over how to get there. After all, you're the editor/publisher :)!

Deena/Amy, I sent a link to Drolleries to my friend Julie, who (sorta) makes a living as a storyteller. I think the stories she tells are very much in line with what you are looking for; I just don't know if she writes them.

My feeling it that you are better off with a standard rejection letter for works you don't like; save personalize ones for work you like, but don't fit the market. Maybe I'm pushier than your average writer, but I always take personalized rejections as a reason to put you at the top of my submission list for my next work.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Connie, received. I remember it now. I liked it a lot. I'll mull it over.
Hey, thanks Raq! Tell her to mention you if she decides to submit.
I hadn't thought of that, Gar. Thanks for the perspective.

Did the drabbles die? Just curious. I never write them myself, but I always enjoyed reading them.

Maybe we should think of some topics...uh, one of the challenges I've signed up for is "What I didn't Know"...does that sound interesting?

I like that one a lot, erika. I must go think on it.

...so, a novel should really be about 80 or 90k words, right?
Amy - May 13, 2007 4:35:42 am PDT #8935 of 10001
Because books.
Most of them, yeah, Fay.
But children's or young adult novels can be (and often are) much shorter, maybe 50K or 60K.
