I look through the blogs of everyone who “friends” me on LJ, but I know that not everyone who reads here has an LJ account.
Would you like to introduce yourself? Point me and whoever else reads here to your writing or blog or just tell me about yourself? I’d like to know. :-)
My internet access is going to be spotty for the next week, but I’ll visit everyone’s site when I can. :-)
Found your sight from a post on Jay Lake’s blog (I think…). I blog at http://kapo.ws/wordpress , and just started editing a bi-annual fantasy magazine called GrendelSong, whose first issue should be out September.
Your site looks really interesting, Mark! I look forward to exploring it more when I’m back on DSL. :)
Hi! I’m glad you’ve found the blog useful. :-)
Best of luck on landing that pro sale!
Hi, Jason! Congratulations on the upcoming wedding! I hope it goes beautifully. :-)
Yes, taking the leap to start sending things out can be difficult. Best of luck with it! You’ll do fine. :-)
Hi. :-) I haven’t checked out Forward Motion before, but I’m glad you find the blog useful!
Hi! I’m partial to the Northwest, too, though I’ve enjoyed Florida whenever it’s not hurricane season. :-)
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the blog. :-)
Yeah, I CE’d the British version of _Iron Council_ for Pan-Mac, but I’m not really sure how UK editors might do things differently than how they’re handled here.
Best of luck in getting through the current stall. I noticed that happening to me primarily when the story wanted to go in a different direction than I wanted to take it. :-)
Hi. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the blog. If I go to WC, you’ll have to introduce yourself to me. :-)
Hi, John. Best of luck in revising and selling your novel!
Oh, I sympathize with the moving. :-P When we moved here to Florida, it was the 29th move in my adult life. :-) I hope you get to settle for a while!
Hi! I was wondering who on earth Quasipsyco was on that personality test people filled out! That was driving me nuts. :-D
Thank you for the compliments. I’m glad you’ve found the blog useful. :-)
Hi, Ellen! Best of luck with the rewriting and the agent hunt! I’m glad you’ve found the blog useful!
Hi, Carol! Yes, I remember you. :-) Welcome!
I do have an LJ account, for commenting but I blog at WordPress.

I’ve been reading your blog for awhile now, bloghopped from goodness knows where. Hehehehe.
Your copyediting thoughts were very interesting, Deanna.
No idea how I ended up here–Miss Snark? Anna Louise?
Jus tbeen enjoying the uniquer angle ont he publishing biz.

Hi, Maxine. I’ve always loved science–part of why I got into SF/F. :-) I’ll stop by your blog occasionally!
Hi. :-) Glad to have you around!
*scritches behind your ears*
You have a lot going on right now! You’ll have more time for blogging, writing, and so on after the wedding’s done! :-)
Now I have to go look up Martha Wells’ blog. I don’t think I’ve read hers. I’m thrilled to be included in that group of people, though. :-)
Networking is always important. :-)
I think that having a specialty is a great thing, too: Editors like to give projects to people who have a true love for the genre in which they’re working.
Hi, Al. Glad to have you around!
Hi! Your blog is interesting. :-)
Hi, Paul. It’s nice to have you around. Best of luck with GrendelSong!
Hi! How do you like WordPress? I’ve thought at times about switching my blog elsewhere, but I do love LJ’s commenting system.
I’m glad you’ve found my posts interesting. Thank you for the link to your blog!
Wow. That is a fascinating blog you have. It makes me glad I deal with fiction instead of reality, though. :-(
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed my publishing thoughts. Are you a writer, too?
Thank you! I sent my first story off to a magazine yesterday, too, so I’m all excited. *grin* Have a great Easter weekend. (Or, in other words, Happy ChocolateMas!)
I have used LJ before, but I like WordPress better.
You’re right about the comments, because WordPress doesn’t allow threading of comments.
It does have a stats page to show you who’s linking to you, and how many people drop by each day, and what people are googling to get to your blog–I’ve gotten some really weird ones, LOL.
Hey! Just to save you time: Martha has an LJ too, . :-)
Thanks, I’ll need the luck. I’m becoming convinced that Terry Brooks was right when he said something like “Writing is craft but publishing is pure luck.”
My apologies to Terry Brooks for the inaccuracy of the quote, I don’t have a copy of the book he wrote it in.
lol
I’ve been pimping my buddy’s blog alot lately and put his link instead of my own. Probably for the best since his IS more interesting.
Pretty sure he had an English degree before his forensic one. I guess his blog is a way of doing both.
As for me, I fancied myself a writer until I learned more about how much work it was for such little pay, but I still enjoy learning more about what goes on out there.
This time I tried harder to get the spaces in the right place.

Hi, I’m Mary Dell. Occasional freelance writer & graphic artist; wannabe SF novelist. My blog is http://torrefaction.canary3d.com.
Ah. And now I see you have a picture on your blog. :-) You do look familiar.
Hi. Your blog has a nice mix of posts on it. Best of luck with the adoption!
(And your tree-trimming skills are impressive!)
Well, there will probably be one more move this year, after which I hope to be a bit more settled. What got you started in the editing business?
