You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Behold: genre writers catch and eat a live vanity press

(small plug - I've found AW to be a great resource, especially for genre novelists [COUGH JZ COUGH]. It's also a great place to delve a little deeper than Writer Beware. YMMV )

I'm signed up to AW, but I haven't been there in quite awhile. I just didn't have time.

Incidentally, I have a new blog post about protecting your laptop, and one about awkward questions for aspiring writers.

If anyone would like to guest post there, contact me via profile addy. I'm trying to get some guest posters to add a little variety, especially while I'm trying to finish up some revisions.

Oh, Gud, I have another one. I have some credits, but EQ is the only one people I know have "heard of" So, it can be another kind of awkward to mention my credits and have the pause get longer and longer.I mean, I'm really not complaining, because I happen to have ignorant acquaintances who don't read, really(Well, I do complain about that, but not really my credits.)

That's a good one, too.

I want so badly to work on finishing up my revisions, but haven't had any time aside from a half-hour at lunch yesterday. My horse for a three hour block of time. I swear the most frustrating part of writing for me is lack of time.
