  3. Query Writing 101, continued - if you start your query with "My name are John Q Smith" what do you THINK will happen?
  4. note to literary novelists - no matter how dark and depressing and tortured you are -- just write a happy ending for god's sake
  5. @wagedomain: easier to say what I don't want - no SF/fantasy, techno-thriller terrorists or gory horror. Anything else is possible...
  6. it's either 'fiction" or a "novel" but, please, not a fiction novel.
  7. Today's opening line; "she lay awake in bed staring at the ceiling aimlessly". Isn't awake and aimless implied by the very act of staring?
  8. check me out in Writer's Digest this month and then do what hundreds of others have already done -- send me a query!
  9. A Montreal cette semaine. C'est si bon!
  10. @RobinBernstein - Oh, Cake's Guitar Man is awesome. And I love their "Mahna Mahna" song too.
