Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't the fine line

between sanity and madness gotten finer?

       11-17-08: A friend of mine has recently decided to get serious about making the first steps on the path to

       publication. She's previously dabbled in quite a few writing worlds, but none that offered "professional"

       publication. Since I firmly believe that writers at all levels can learn from writers at all levels, I'm going to link

       to her blog: The Chronicles of Emily Cross.

       Writing is all about learning from mistakes, watching others make mistakes, taking those mistakes and

       creating a character who lives through them to show the rest of the world how to avoid those mistakes. ;)

       Writing is about teaching, about learning, about living experiences and committing them to paper. Writing is

       a love affair and a broken heart. It's a roller coaster and a sinking ship. It's a ride in a hot air balloon and a

       freefall from five thousand feet. ALL AT THE SAME TIME. 

       Why am I saying all this? To encourage you to head over to Emily's page and give her the encouragement

       she needs to make it through the gauntlet of publication in one piece. If you can't do it for her, do it in the

       hopes that someone would return the favor if it was you walking this road.

       10-25-08: The quote I put up today is a n excellent reminder for me and anyone struggling in the pre-

       publication void of the writing world. It means working out plots and characters even when it's the last

       thing you want to do. It means getting past the middle of a story even if you've finally seen all those

       problems your friend pointed out. It means never giving up no matter how many times someone says no. All

       you need is one yes. That's what I plan on doing anyway. How about you?
