Thanks for the shout back. Yeah, I TIVO the shows I'm already addicted to, and studiously avoid TV otherwise...
wait, I just peeked...
Oh, no.. I'm hooked on a new one!

Thanks! And you know, it always easier to point out the "flaws" in someone else's work. I'm sure people have a field day with my own in the critique groups. You need a fresh set of eyes on anything. They help get rid of the Little Darlings and inconsistencies and just plain bad writing.
Problem is, I get the books when they are ready to print or already printed. There's no more room to improve and you have to review it based on what's there, not what could have been.
I could write a novel on this topic. I'd better stop now while the sun is still up. =0)
I didn't realize you live in Houston. Are you in MWA? I haven't been to many meetings lately because having Lyme and writing books is about all I can handle right now. Hope your new book does well. Looks scary as hell. :-)

Hi Amanda,
Thanks for your comment on my Writers Plot blog, "There is No Off Switch On the Crying Machine." It is always good to know you are not alone--though it can sure feel like it at times. And miracle of miracles, my daughter showed up for a surprise visit for my birthday last week. "Happiness is not a state of being ..." (a quote from someone very smart, whose name I cannot remember).
Did I mention on myspace that we LOVE MST3K at our house? Santa brought us many DVDs from Overstock.com. (But I would never buy books there--no never!)
I just clicked on the praise and review section of your Web site and read the comments posted about you book, "The Doll Maker." I'm impressed. Thanks for the invite.
Hi. Thanks for the invite. I grew up in Hot Springs, AR and have finally made it back. I don't think I know where Bradford, Arkansas is! Time for the Arkansas map!
