Thank you for clarifying for me, Ookla. That really made me stop and think, Stacer. What? Elantris isn't even out yet? I'm such an idiot. How could I have been so confused? What in the heck is everybody talking about then?  And then I started wondering what that Border's guy was talking about. He said that they had a run on the store because it was required reading for a class or something. I told him that sounded like a good strategy.   Was he playing with me? If so, that would be a funny joke, but a little unprofessional, hee hee.

Whoo! (wipe forehead) I love my life!

What's it called, so I can look it up? I published with Covenant too! They're awesome to give us newbies a chance.

That's helpful. I'll check it out.

Oh, so much drama, drama, drama today. You ever have one of those days? Speaking of, I think I saw a thread on procrastinating, I think I'm going to check that one out. They might have some good advice for me.

I'm impressed! I think it's cool when people go for their dreams...and I totally know what you mean by the low grade writer's block, Nessa (I'm totally going to get stern with myself).

These books had better be out in print in a few years! Why not? It's cool that you can actually write from experience, Frosker (I still can't get over that computer man). And those others sound really fun to research (I say I hate the research, but sometimes...well, it would be so cool to learn more about Scottish stuff, Stacer. I totally envy you--especially some of the cool stuff they did. I had some really tough Scottish ancestors and the things they did make me proud...in a disgusted kind of way).

My sister's husband comes from a clan that 'practically' wiped out our clan (those darn Campbells, they tried to kill off the McDonalds too). Anyway, when I found that out, I forbade them to marry. It was totally Romeo and Juliet. Oh, except they lived and got married. But seriously, it's amazing what a few years does to calm things down. I'm sure our ancestors would have been appalled he married into the family. We're the Black Irish and we followed the Black priest...total tangent.

So, is there a post where we can read first chapters and stuff like that? Is that the writer's group thread on that other post (I love how clear I am)There probably is...and I just haven't looked deep enough.

Yeah, that's what I'm confused about too. $400? That's pretty steep for me, but I just looked it up and it's $135 if you're not a student and you're an early bird. I just looked up that BYU one too, Parker. That one IS $400? It looks nice...if you have the funds. You'd probably get some pretty good connections there too. Maybe another year (if I ever strike it rich).

Oh, and thanks for the acronym lessons, Chimera

Who would you suggest sending short stories to? I'd love to get into that!

Oh, hey! That makes sense...sending in different manuscripts!

Brilliant, Vivian! (Uh, that is such a random obscure movie quote, I don't expect anyone to recognize that one)

Steph

Then it's Stacer to me

Okay, I'd better leave this poor thread alone before I get kicked off of it! Good talking to you. Let's do it again!--now that I know what a pm is. Whooh!
