I guess the superstitious and anxious of us, me included, can start posting again. Wow the WOTF groups have been quiet the last week while we all waited. I wish some more Hatrackers were on the finalist lists.

Now, back to that rewrite...

ps...100 HM? Did I miss a list? I only counted about 70 between the two lists Jennifer posted from the newswires.

Joni has been known to do HM lists after posting the Finalist and Semi-finalist lists.

Lately, she seems very behind on the blog.

That was kind of interesting. I found Helen Venn's blog and touched base. Who knows, it might result in finding an in-person writing group around town somewhere.

Joni gave me an extra F in my name. I wonder what it stands for?

Silver Honorable Mention, that's a new one.

Must have been a story right on the fence, between the top end of the HM pool and the bottom of the Semis.

"Jealous hack" seems a harsh characterisation. He's frank, and he does himself no favours with some embarrassing errors (eluded for alluded is particularly cringeworthy), but he makes some interesting points as long as you take it - as reviews should be taken - as one person's opinion.

Not sure if you know, but Frank and snapper are one and the same being.

Sometimes a person can be their own worst critic, especially when they're frank (or Frank).


Spaceman (Rick Novy) once posted an interview he had done with Stanley Schmidt. A Hatracker, unaware that Spaceman was the "interviewer", responded to the post in a truly cringeworthy way. I believe that the response was shortly edited after a helpful Email.

It's okay, tchernabyelo. Snapper has such a quirky sense of humor that I recommend being extra wary with regard to his posts.

There is a joke in there somewhere, I just haven't found it yet.

I really am bummed. I would have struck up a whole new this is how much of a hack he is conversation.

I do thank you though, tchernabyalo. Nice to know that you would defend me from me, even if you weren't aware it was I that I was slandering.

Slightly off-topic but: Does anyone know what happened to the WOTF message board? Every time I've tried to go there today, I've gotten a "page not found" message. Did it move?
