A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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.

Because books.

I do, sort of. I had it set up on my old website for my books, but I had very little traffic. I think I earned, like, $20 once.

They send quarterly (iirc) statements via email stating whether or not your links earned anything, and then you can choose how to be paid, if they do. It's not a bad thing to do if you get a lot of traffic on your site, and people will take advantage of the convenience to click through.
