Yeah, querying is somewhat like that, isn’t it? I’m at that stage, too. It’s tough!

Welcome to the blog, and I’m glad you’re finding your voice. I was very quiet, even on my own blog, until a few years ago, and I’ve grown enormously since I found mine. :-)

…but then crawled safely back out.

I’ve been a lurker in the writing blog community for a while, and have recently gotten over my fear of saying something stupid (doesn’t mean it won’t happen, just that I’m not as afraid of it). I figure if I goof, I’ll just apologize!

I found your blog in a roundabout way. You’ve edited some of my favorite authors: Wen Spencer, R. A. Salvatore, David and Leigh Eddings. Had lunch with Wen once at a conference. She says great things about her experiences with the publishing world, so I came over here to study the copyediting process. Thank you for the insightful posts.

I’m in the query letter stage right now. Trying to figure out who wants what. It reminds me of college, years ago, when you had to study the teachers and figure out their particular peeves and expectations so you could get a decent grade. :P

Still, I’ve enjoyed Florida except for hurricane season (which starts tomorrow! Eep!).

Fun research, and handy for writing. :-)

Welcome to the blog! I don’t think I’ve seen you around before.

Did it?

Snake! Run!

(All snakes are poisonous in Oz.)

We were camping one summer day, just sitting around and chilling out when this snake came crawling out of the bush. It headed towards one of our backpacks. We yelled and waved our arms from a safe distance, hoping it would head off and not crawl into the warm darkness of the backpack.

Yeah, the pix is cool – since it’s a flat picture on my screen, and not a slithering thing on my porch.

Although, this entry did prompt me to do some research into the differences, and what other kinds of poisonous snakes were around. Dang, I will never get any writing done if I keep being sidetracked by things that are just so interesting… LOL!

Thanks for sharing.
