    Hey Joe, Where did you go swimming in 1983? Souinds like we might have crossed paths.

    Oh, man, Joe. Hello fellow hometowner.
    I'm a Cobb County native. Born, bred and raised. Retired to S.W. Florida, but moving back to Georgia as soon as my house sells. I'm a retired Cobb County Deputy Sheriff. My husband is retired from Lockheed Aircraft. So... tell me what's going on up there? My family still lives up there...Jasper, Athens, Fayetteville, and Acworth. I have relatives in Emerson and Cartersville.
    I sure do miss it. Can't wait to move back. I've had enough hurricanes to last me a lifetime.

    Hey! I'm new to this game, too. All I can tell you, is to keep plugging away. It took me five years and dozens of query letters before I finally got someone interested in my manuscript. It probably wouldn't take me that long, now. I know alot more about the world of publishing, now. I didn't know what I was doing back then. Sometimes I still don't. But I have found out one thing. Writing the novels was easy. Promotion is the hardest part of being an author. It isn't cheap, either. Like the old saying goes, you gotta spend money to make money. I have a full time job, also. I could spend twelve hours a day just trying to promote myself and my novels, but I don't have the time, so I try to do it in my spare time and on week-ends. Hopefully, one day soon, I can retire and spend ALL my time on writing and promotion.

    Thanks, Joe. Please drop by and add your comments. We'll all learn from one another, and maybe have some fun, too.

    Joe,
    Sorry I haven't gotten back with you. It's tax season, so personal computer time is practically non-existent.
    Love your pictures with the Polar Bears.
    How did you survive being hit by a train?

    Wow! You're lucky! But, just goes to show. You CAN fight City Hall. Your phots of Atlanta make me homesick. I sure miss the Varsity hot dogs. I miss being home. Can't wait to move back. I'm attempting to sign up for the Georgia Book Festival. It's to be held in Bainbridge this year. It's sponsored by Dekalb County Library. I always sell lots of books at those events. In March, I'll be signing my books at the southwest Florida Book Festival in Fort Myers, Fl. I haven't gotten too established in Georgia, yet. My appearances have all been in Florida (since I'm a Florida resident; temporarily at least) I want to attend more book festival events in Georgia, starting this year. Hopefully, it will be easier when I move back to Georgia.

    You guys make me lonesome for Atlanta, too. I'm an Atlanta native from an Atlanta family. Check out my author's page at www.beaufortfalls.com . My father was actually John Wayne and my mother Scarlet O'Hara. Metaphorically, at least.

    Hey, Joe!
    Fellow Squid here. I was a SWO. :) Thanks for adding me. In regard to your Q on plotting--I highly recommend giving it a try. I find it helps me get to a better 1st draft. I also tend to write more quickly & confidently with an outline since I already know the general idea hangs together. But remember, just because you have an outline doesn't mean you can't deviate from it. That's half the fun of writing. --Candace, fellow RWAer too. :)

    Hi Joe,
    In my opinion, the south is the best place for a romantic suspense! Which city are you thinking about?
    Good luck with the manuscript,
    Lisa
