LOL You did that on purp...<i>and no when to say know.</i><br /><br />LOL You did that on purpose! :-)<br /><br />I too find it somewhat startling that so many people focus on publication and never bother learning craft. And then get furious when their "genius" is rejected.<br /><br />(Sheila, I don't think you're included in that! :-) The internet is one of the best places to find out more info about publishing.)s.w. vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102544611773720262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-88775592915828285392009-07-16T13:05:57.045-04:002009-07-16T13:05:57.045-04:00Great advice.

All of my teachers have been authors who've led the way by pure example. Read until you can't keep your eyes open every night. And you'll understand more than the mechanics of writing, you'll understand flow, pace, story construction, suspense... the whole ball game!Aaron Paul Lazarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117814221437165664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001825743960552008.post-78660092192854928962009-07-16T08:19:17.452-04:002009-07-16T08:19:17.452-04:00Good morning you two!

Man, you guys are earrrrrly birds :)<br /><br />I forgot to say in this piece that you need to cultivate friendships with wordsmiths, and grammar masters, which I have found in each of you as well. <br /><br />I have to say thanks to Terry esp. who keeps me straight on a lot of stuff.
