A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Great link, Jesse. Thanks!

I've been using Writer's Market 2010; it's nice to have a comparison.

GRRRRRRRR.....I lost a day's worth of writing when I lost power Thursday night, and didn't know it until a few minutes ago.

It's gone...no autorecover or anything.

FABULOUS. I so have time to rewrite a day's worth of work!

Have you tried searching for words you know are in the article, Erin? Sometimes things lurk as temporary files.

Ginger is wise. I have definitely benefited from this strategy in the past. More times than I like to admit.

Sometimes the formatting is wonky, but having the words back was a great comfort.

Yeah, I combed through it, but I lost power Thursday night while and they got et but good.

I've got some handwritten notes, so it's ok, and my editor isn't in a hurry. It's just a Monday morning PITA...

It is a total bummer. May the reconstruction be peppered with fresh inspiration that makes the finished product even happier-making than the original piece.

One hopes. I think I'll have to be sassy on the revising, though.

Right now, my brain is on the "SLOG" setting; it's Monday after a long, relaxing weekend.

Does anyone have experience with the Amazon Affiliate links program? I want to use them for whenever I mention specific books on Gothic Charm School.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Thirding the Square-- I use it at the flea market, and it's great.

I checked out a couple of nearby antique malls today. I think I might be getting a booth soon, probably to sell books; next I have to price out self-storage so I can see about expanding my Etsy business with the vintage clothes.
