Things I Wish a Pro Had Told Me

[Eric James Stone]

Unfortunately, I had a signing and a panel during Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta's presentation on "Things I Wish a Pro Had Told Me When I Was Just Starting Out."

Fortunately, someone was there taking notes:

Thanks for posting these, Eric--I also couldn't make it, and they're good notes.  Thank your friend for me.

Thnks for this post, Eric.  I flaked off the first half since I was working on my technical manual for ebay.  One more week and I can get back to fiction.  I was ticked to find I lost track of time and missed an entire hour of that class. I appreciate you sharing this.

Hey, Jules, do you belong to a writing group? 'Cuz, if not, SE, Izzy, Robert, and Rosencrantz and I are forming a 2nd writing group. So if you're interested, that'd be great.

Thanks Eric. I'm adding this page to my list of favorites.

At this time I do not belong to a writing group.  I live in the middle of nowhere where the townsfolk are still working on the dick and jane books. I would love to be in a writing group. Is this one you're doing online or are you meeting somewhere?  

[Shrain]

lol. Yep, we're just meeting online. It looks like it will be Thur. nights at 7pm MST (9 EST). With Izzy so close to the blessed event (who knows, she might've had her baby already!), I think we still have room. I haven't heard from Rosencrantz in a while, either . . . Anyway, why don't you read thru the Writing Group 2 thread asap and see if it'll work out for you.

P.S. If it so happens that we've got too many people, try emailing Nessa to see if you could join the original group (Abridge Speculists). That's the route I originally went for, but I couldn't meet when they all needed to. So this prompted a new group. (But they sure made a valiant effort to include me!)

My email is on my profile and I can give you the run-down if you wish.

One of the tips says "no SASE=trash"  

[guitarbabe]

Yay! We GET Jules?!! I'm so excited!

[Shrain]

Actually, it looks like she's too busy to be in any group. She posted on the Writing Group 2 thread about her incredibly busy schedule. I know how that can be, though! (Just thought I'd post here since you might not look at the other thread...)

Thanks Shrain. Dash diddly dog...that's when I say when I'm really upset. Ha ha!

Dash diddly dog. Hmm, I like it. I may have to adopt it.
