I said I was starting something new today…but after the doctor this morning and the ‘I’m not worthy’ feeling form reading Mia Zachary’s latest, Afternoon Delight, I decided to do some studying up instead. I have to raise my game if I want to share shelf space with a book as richly layered and emotionally poignant as Afternoon Delight.
So…I went trolling for craft articles. Here’s my day in class. Best of all – it was free!

And...my editor is scheduled to call me this morning. Hope it's good news. I'd like to stop being the only 'published' author who talks about their rejections. Even if it does help my pre-pubbed comrades, it stings, people!

Hope the call goes well. Thanks for the list of writing books. I can use it.
Not books, just random web articles on writing. I think they are usually talks that an author gave, then posts on their website as an article. Gotta love free.
Great list! I'm going to be following the links and bookmarking the pages.
Thanks for posting!
Good luck, good luck on your call! And I'm sure it stings, I'd much rather hear about your buys vs your rejections!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing the web articles. I love free too. :)
Thanks for the articles! I know I can use all the help I can get.
Good luck with your call today!!!
