Today was a pretty good day. I got word from T-Zero webzine that a craft writing piece on using cuss words in fiction that I wrote will appear in their September or October issue. I'll post a link when it actually shows.
Kathleen is also publishing a serialized piece I wrote for her on providing feedback that will appear first in her August newsletter. That link is: http://userpages.burgoyne.com/workshop

Way to go, Christine! I always appreciate your opinion, so the providing feedback piece is right up your alley. BTW, is the cuss word piece pro or con? I guess I will just have to wait and read it myself. I am sure it is great. Congrats! -BA-

Generally, the article is against cuss words, but specifically I'm just trying to get people to think about one consequence of using cuss words. I always figure you can do anything you want as long as you understand and are willing to accept the consequences. The editor called it "thought provoking" so I guess it's done its job.

Wonderful news. I've always respected your insights and advice and can't wait to read the both of them. Coming from you I know they will be well thought out and helpful.

I just realized this is your first publishing credit. Silly girl! That's deserves much bigger huzzahs. I figured you were an old hand at this, you were so subdued.
You know what happened...this is going to sound so stupid of me. I had a bunch of friends over playing cards when I found out and I came over and told them all about it and one of them said, "So, what high school publication was this?" So I got kinda sullen and withdrawn for the rest of the evening.
Sign...needing to ignore what dumbass people say.
Wait until I get my first fiction credit to my name...won't be letting anyone spoil that. (Or if he does it again, I'll sock him in that stupid mouth of his...)

A sock in the mouth wouldn't do. A person like that deserves a good kick in the Chotch! At least that is what I'd do!

Yeah! TruHero and I will come over and beat up the next non-writer who gives you lip. Writers are allowed to, but only if it's in a critique.

I read your piece on critiquing and bless you eternally for writing it. I need to take some of it to heart and learn to refine my own crit'ing techniques!
I'm glad to have writers like you to guide writers like me! *G*

Just read part 2. Excellent work, Christine. Got me thinking about the critiquing I do with a careful, critical eye and an eagerness to improve.
