Buffistas

I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Congrats Jilli!

I've started writing a book even though I have no business writing a book, but I come up with ideas for stories all the time and I want to try writing one down.

First rejection. I'm disappointed, but not terribly. On to the next mag.

I hope the next one goes better.

I find that my old nemesis, lack of time, has become my greatest obstacle.

Last night I finished chapter 1. I can think of many parts I'd like to adjust (inadequate description, questionable time passage, character saying something that violates my rules for that character), but my plan is to avoid getting mired in revision by just charging ahead and get through the whole story first leaving the occasional "fix this" note.

Because books.

Gud, what kind of novel are you writing?

Also, GOOD CALL on not self-editing too heavily this pass. Just write it, and change it later. My two cents only, but it works for me.

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

Oh good lord yes. If you *can* sidestep the constant sanding and spackling of revision until you finish your draft, by all means, forge ahead.

Signed, revised myself out of more than one story before they were ever finished.
