I’m coming up on my second anniversary of doing ‘Get Published’ and I’ve been very happy with the show. I’ve had the chance to talk with many great people and, I hope, I’ve shared valuable information with my listeners. But honestly, something has been missing. Listeners know the show has a feedback section. Regular listeners know I haven’t gotten much of it. Not questions, comments or, frankly, much of anything (that is not to denigrate those people who have commented and you know who you are. I have really appreciated all the comments I’ve received). It has felt… odd… I suppose is the word, doing other things in that section of the show and still calling it the “Feedback Section”. […]

CA Marshall Has An Awesome Contest!
I usually don’t talk about contests too much (my own or others) but I came across one that is too good not to talk about. CA Marshall, who you may remember from episode 32 of Get Published, is running a contest where the winner will receive a FREE substantial edit. Yes, you heard me right. A free edit of a manuscript up to 100,000 words with a focus on Plot, Character and Pacing. Not bad, huh? I know getting my work professionally edited (did I mention she is a professional editor) is high on my list of priorities and if you are hoping to get your work published, it should be on yours too. Just in case you are wondering […]
Read moreAnother NaNoWriMo Put to Bed
It is now December 1st and that means NaNoWriMo is done for another year. This year was another good, but gruelling one. I blame that mostly on my own inability to keep my projects down to a single manageable one. As you probably know, I ended NaNo having worked on four distinct projects: two short stories and two novels. I did manage to finish both short stories. In fact, they were both due for submission by midnight of November 30th which I was able to do. It was with a HUGE sigh of relief that I did just that. I also managed to write something like 56,000 words or so, officially winning NaNo. Now the waiting begins. I just hope […]
Read moreNaNoWriMo – Day 27 & 28
You will have already noticed that I didn’t post yesterday. That was because I left the house around 10AM and wasn’t home until 1:30AM the next morning. As you can probably guess, I didn’t get any writing done. I’ve had to make the decision to call NaNoWriMo 2010 finished. I am now completing my two short stories so I can send them out so I need that editing focus. I also need to start getting GalaxyBillies ready for podiobooks.com so there is added demand on my time. Thank you to everyone who has shared my NaNo adventure with me. Congratulations to all the people who managed to write during the month of November. Whether you managed 50,000 words or 50, […]
