About this Writing Stuff...

Happy NaNoWriMo!   Rather than begin a new project this month, I used November to finish the second draft of my second novel, a paranormal mystery called By Your Side .  I'm looking forward to using what I hope will a long holiday weekend to give it one last read through before it goes to critters and proofers.  Yes, I call critiquers "critters".

It's a hot one this week as Joe Konrath and Lee Goldberg throw Penguin under the bus for their new self-publishing service.  We have two "How To's" from Jody Hedlund. Dean Wesley Smith ponders why anyone would need an agent while Crystal Patriarche offers advice on publicity prior to publication.  Sophie Masson discusses writing a digital comic and speaking of NaNoWriMo, Anna Elliott shares her lessons learned.  On the convention scene, Farpoint is just a few months away...
