You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

At the moment, there is not much to look at, but I'd be grateful for any insights you could share.

puts Susan down for chocolate as well...

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Susan, I quite liked the opening, and that's saying something, because generally - me and fantasy, no and no and no.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Me!

surveys novel section friend is submitting to contest, my critique still not complete; another friend's novel chapters for writing group tomorrow, not even begun; still another writing group member's novel chapters, ditto.

I'd love to. On Thursday or Friday, perhaps?

See, Bev also likes fantasy, a lot. And she writes it, rather well.

(reminds self to finish notes on next four to six of Bev's chapters)

Thanks, Beverly. I'll send you out some pages tomorrow.

Really not a big rush to read them. I'm writing at a painfully sloooooow pace right now.

But, I am writing, at least today, which is an improvement.

Astarte, you can send them to me whenever you like, too.

And I get to read very little of it, despite the amount of reading I do.

And she writes it, rather well.

Blush. Thank you! And, I've forgotten what's the last you have. Can you, when you get to it, remind me?

But, I am writing, at least today, which is an improvement.

Oh, Ro, I hear you.

Bev, damn, you asked me in Bitchy (it's still Bitchy in my head; this is what I get for not hanging out in B'cy) and I answered there. Should we move it here?

Oh, and Deb--one of my coworkers today was asking me about my book, and I mentioned you in the context of talking about how I was getting ready to send it to an agent. She asked what you wrote, and I described the premise behind the Child Ballad books. She thought it sounded really exciting, so I'll be sure to remind her when Weaver comes out. So that's one more toward your 3000.
