I have not posted in awhile because I have been very busy! I am writing a column and two serial stories right now that are running in an on-line publication--plus working on a third novel and trying to market two others.

Plus keeping up with my crit group---

Which just desolved!

Rats! One person decided they no longer had the time and one other has not done a crit in several weeks--and the other has not e-mailed me concerning the leaving of the first. So, I think it is no more.

I am begining to feel like I am the only one that wishes to keep up with a crit group. Does no one else feel the need to recive advice and have a second set of eyes look over their work? I can not express how valuable crits have been to my work. I think we all wear blinders sometimes as far as our work is concerned and need someone to look at it who isn't wearing them.

I have just put together three chapters to go with a query for my third novel---HELP! I am in groaning need of some fresh eyes to look at the 7,500 words of it.
