Sounds like you at least have chemistry somewhere, Liz.
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Erin, when you get a chance, check your email; I beta'd your story sections and sent back two long emails, with commentary.

Deb, I got the first one, but the number two email is nowhere in sight.
I'm at my folks, so I don't have access to my work here, but I'm going to print out your first email and go over it tomorrow. Thanks for such specific feedback -- it's really useful, and appreciated!

Erin, I'm working on my edit/critique and hope to have it for you this evening, but it may end up being tomorrow.

I'm aghast, Susan.
No cookie for you!

Heh. Erin, that's weird - I'll resend part two, which, BTW, is far more "anticipatory reader" than "stern editor".
Cookies are being made, even as we speak....

If I only had a brain...
Does anybody have a favorite market report? My former Bible, The Gila Queen's Guide to Markets, hasn't put out a new issue since 2000. Market reports are really handy for pointing out new markets you mayn't have heard of. Right now, for instance, I have a short humorous cooking piece I want to place. I spent Sunday at Borders in the cooking section, and neither my favorite cooking mags nor any of the cooking mags I don't buy seems to have a place for humor. A friend suggested Sunset.

Oh, Betsy, you asking that reminded me of a questions I've been wanting to ask, but kept forgetting:
What are people's opinions on writing mags? Are they worth the money, and if so, which one(s) are the most useful? I'm thinking about asking my folks for a subscription for my birthday in August.
Thanks!

In my experience the writing magazines are too generalized to be very helpful. Writer's Digest, the big'un, has articles on marketing your nonfiction work next to blurbs on getting a fiction agent next to voluminous ads for their "indispensable" reference books.
However, if anyone knows of a good one I'd love to hear your recs.
