I redesigned the cover art for my Land of the Flying Cats manuscript.

Well I once got a rejection email on Christmas Eve. It’s always good to get back in the saddle.

Wow! I’m lucky if I get one page written. Of course, I am probably the slowest person in the world at typing.

I have never heard them called that. Thanks for clarifying.

Yes if it is an American crime drama, but the British writers do a better job of making it unpredictable. Most of the shows here in the US have 3 suspects, the Pope, Mother Teresa and Hitler. Guess who done it? lol Also, every other episode is either a story about an abdication or a serial killer.

On my iPad “B”lue”S”ky all of a sudden I had to verify my age to start getting back in. I’m 71, so having to do that seems like total BS to me.

Which one puts food on the table? That would be my answer.

I agree. I think everyone should obey Thumper's mom's rule.

We have to be encouraged one way or another. Sounds like a great accomplishment to me.

Congratulations! I hope your sales will be abundant, and receiving your royalties will come quickly and not “Drag-on because of an er-or.”

Creative writing. Visually clear. Of course, I live in Texas where the cockroaches are so big it’s quicker to saddle and ride them to death than to kill them with bug spray.

It’s when I don’t like the chapters I’ve written that I worry.

This is the story I'm currently querying.

Here in Texas we almost always have a cold snap at Easter, then it’s springtime. I am so ready for the cold weather to be over.

I understand. Querying, publishing and marketing can get in the way of writing, but are necessary evils.

Good luck on marketing your book. I hope you get lots of sales.

Oh, then you are self publishing. Yeah marketing is so necessary. I’m in the final edit of my police murder case story. I am going to query it to agents hopefully in January.

Yes, some typos hide until they reveal themselves in the printed form.

Yeah, we tend to create what we need for our stories. It actually sounded like you liked creating criminal characters, but if I had been wrong I didn’t want to fret over something you needed in your story. I always wanted to encourage my fellow writers. I should have gone with my first impression.

If your WIP needs more criminals, then I don’t see a problem.

I write in different genres from story to story. It’s definitely that way for me.

Just wait until you get older. It’ll sound like a wooden ship crashing into the rocks. lol

Sometimes it's nice to be noticed, even if it's only by a scammer. lol
