Hi Jessica! Thanks for leaving that compliment on my blog.

How long have you been writing? I like to read and write romantic fiction too. I'm a sucker for mushy moments!

Nice job on your blog, by the way. Very informative.

I've been writing for a little over a year now (knowing the rules, as you say), and have been married for two.

I just checked out Rachelle's blog for the first time this week, and it's already become my favorite. I jumped at the chance to have ten pages critiqued!

Well, I have been praying for a sign. Lately it seems like I have really been under spiritual attack. Time to get out the armor.

Anyway, I was putzing around since my computer crashed last night and this laptop won't recognize Word. I decided to catch up on some blog reading since I was without net for two weeks and hopped over here.

Diane, my editor at the magazine I used to work for, was talking about dusting off an inspirational book she had written some time ago. I told her I had come across a couple of agents I thought might be good for her. Then I pop in here and see this contest.

Obviously, it won't do much to help me with my epic fantasy, but I was asking for a sign and this seems like a sign to me.

Now, if I could just get a sign I am not wasting my time trying to write it would be even better.

We All Got to Learn to Do It Sometime

*grossness alert* We all have to learn to deal with doo-doo eventually. Consider me a newbie mom, but it never occurred to me that my son should be wiping himself until about a month before kindergarten. And then the flashbulb went on and I scrambled to teach him. One problem. He didn't want to. He's fastidious and doesn't like to make mistakes, so the thought of taking care of this daily chore literally reduced him to screaming and crying on the toilet. Basically, he didn't trust himself. He was afraid. Scared to get his hands dirty. Afraid he'd miss something. This is probably weird, but it made me think of us as writers. There comes a point where we have to "grow up" and trust ourselves. We can't always rely on a crit group, agent, or editor to wipe up our mess. I think this should be a part of maturation for every writer, that we can look at our work and be confident in our ability to clean it up. Not saying we'll make it perfect or that we won...

Just Straight-up Say It

When it comes to writing an interesting character, I think the best ones are those who go verbal places we're afraid to. Sometimes they use subtext, sometimes speak the truth, straight-up. Or maybe your characters break some rules you would never dare to even imagine breaking? Maybe they expose themselves, make themselves vulnerable to other characters? Or do they demand things we've learned to only wish for? What's the wildest thing one of your characters has done? Would you do it?

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Oh Vanity of vanities.... In preparation for the conference I'm going to put my body through some painful things. Eyebrow pluckings, teeth whitening and mustache removal. Anyone else interested in adding to my confession of vanity? Have you ever gone through a painful experience in order to look good? What's the craziest thing you've ever done to yourself?
