Keep at it, I think you sound like just the kind of person to pull it off.

At 2:04am on February 20, 2008, Alison Bruce said…: Hi,

thanks for the add. I like you cynical / optimistic outlook, is that glass half-full and half-empty at the same time... that's two x .5 glasses, does that add up to one whole glass? Not sure that's logical but think you may be better off than most!

Cheers, Alison

At 5:08pm on February 19, 2008, carole gill said…: what is it just after 11 pm where you are? it's so early here, I can hardly see yet. I make brekkies for husband and myself and then take dogs out--this all gets the juices going so my eyes work, I can breathe--etc.
all the best lynn.

Editing Stiletto is a 3 times a year love job. I wish it was my part0time job job because it'd be a great way to support my crime writing - if I was being paid for it.

At 2:59am on February 19, 2008, Jack Getze said…: Hey, LJ. Thanks...An BTW, I wasted almost three decades not studying craft, not showing my work to anyone, not belonging to a critique group. Bet you're smarter than me, right?

At 8:28am on February 18, 2008, Darren Laws said…: Hi L.J. Yes, it's frightening. I am the original whore of Crimespace. If you see it elsewhere I reccomend not calling for the reward or seeking counsilling...Btw. your novel sounds fab.

We all have our baggage, some less some more than others. I just like to always look for the sparkle in everyone. It may be a perfect eyebrow, it may be your long fingers, and it may be your Gold tooth. But it's there in everyone. smiles.

My current WIP will be done by the end of March-- the first draft at least. Currently, I'm moving and living in and out of boxes, so I've been spending a lot of quality time here online. Yay! Cheers.

Are you a full-time writer or do you have an outside job?

At 12:50am on February 18, 2008, Dana King said…: Thanks for the friend invite and the encouragement, LJ. Good luck with your projects, as well. Reading your profile reminds me of something I said to a friend once. A cynic is an idealist in a protective wrapper.

At 12:29am on February 18, 2008, David L. Hoof said…: Of course, you're quite welcome. Anything else you might need, I'm ready to help -- or try.
All the Best,

David
Oh, if you're a stand up comic, here's a gag that just hit me last night

A pack of horny frat boys is seated in a low end strip club. When a fat, ancient lady steps into the spotlight, they all start chanting, "Keep it On!"

At 1:02pm on February 17, 2008, joe miller said…: LJ,
I agree. ..It is a shame that rural Georgia dictates to Atlanta.
I'm still working on my first draft, but have had some good feedback from others. Any advice for a rookie.

At 12:30pm on February 17, 2008, joe miller said…: Hi LJ,
Read your blog ...it's correct about the Georgia Supreme Court. There are two Georgia's...One is Atlanta and the other is South Georgia. South Georgia controls the political power and dictates to Atlanta which pays for everything.
Looking forward to talking in the future.

Take Care
