Oh! Was just sent this and thought you might be interested down the road...not that i think you'll ever have trouble talking to people or making connections :) But i also promised to share writing links, and haven't yet :)

On pitching to editors/agents: http://shanna-s.livejournal.com/233126.html

Link from difrancis, who's The Cipher is a new find that i really enjoyed (was recommended to me last month).

Other journal where Writing Tips, Thoughts, Adventures, & Dialogs show up on a pretty consistent basis is jimhines. Also, his third novel is out March 4, so many thoughts on book-launch promotion lately that may be interesting in a couple more months.

Kitten got Carolyn See's "Making a Literary Life" for me from the library. I read the early part and have gotten a bit or two from it. I hesitate to be reading material about writing, since I don't know how this all works in my head yet, and when I read Marge Piercy's book on doing it, I froze for a month and couldn't produce anything.

I have found something interesting in my early edits. I write as if I get paid by the "that." First thing I need to do is go through and find all of them and make sure they're necessary.

In any case, I'll be working a couple hours per day now until I'm done with the edits. Once my rewrites are done, I'll read the pieces out loud and then the editors will get a final say.

Thanks, as always, for the encouragement.

Hugs and kisses
