Marketing Help

Has anyone heard of Wordhustler.com? I ran across their website the other day as I was looking for information on an agent, and I thought it looks like a great tool for organizing queries.

Just curious if any of you have heard of it or used it.

Counting down my hours of freedom to lie around and read whatever I want.

Less Than One Week to Go

National Novel Writing Month begins next Saturday, November 1st. Sharpen your pencils, gather your pens, exercise your typing fingers.

To keep ourselves motivated (or honest, pushed, punished, whatever word you want to use) I'm thinking we might want to post our progress here. I'm trying to decide what makes sense - once a week, twice a week - does it sound like a good idea or no?

I just know if we start and fall silent for 30 days it won't be as much fun and I'll have a hard time staying motivated.

Any ideas?

Time for a Critique Session?

Sadly, as I began to write this note I couldn't remember what we called our occassional critique sessions we used to do - was did we refer to them as readings? Hmmmmm. But perhaps this confusion means it has been too long.

Is anyone still interested in getting together for an occassional critique group? A chance to share some new work with others and get their feedback?

I miss that part of the M.F.A. I feel like I'm writing in a dark hole right now. Paola and I did an email/telephone critique session for our children's stories earlier this year and it was really helpful. I'd love to get into some sort of rhythm, either in a group or with someone on a more one-on-one basis.

Let me know what you think.
