Next, Carrie Link had a great video at her blog just the other day. It is Wally Lamb talking about his latest book, The Hour I First Believed, and the angst of the sometimes long writing process.
Now, some awesome news...my most dear friend Kathryn Magendie's debut novel will be out in a few months. Keep your eyes peeled for Tender Graces. And please visit her brand spankin' new blog on the topic too. She's good about returning visits and has been a frequent commenter here and elsewhere in the Bloggy Universe, so stop by and give her a ^5 or an attagirl or something.
Amy Sue needs you! If you've got editing tips and advice to share on working over a manuscript, please go share it with her. She's just finished her first WIP! Congratulations, friend!
And, finally, I'm not gonna bore you with the minute details of my New Year's Writing Resolutions, but let's just say they're lofty. Primarily, I will spend January (and hopefully not too much past that) revising my women's fiction manuscript and polishing it up to present to potential agents. Wish me luck! (Mo on dat later.) But for an awesomely awsome list of resolutions to get you in the mood to write, check out this blog.
Oh, and PS, don't forget to vote for The Rose & Thorn ezine in as many categories as possible in the Preditors and Editors Poll. We 'preciate ya lots and lots! [More details in my R&T blog post over on the sidebar.]
Now, git bizzy. Go write. Grab them resolutions by the horns!

Oh what a cute cute puppy!!!
And good luck with your resolutions! I'm probably already slacking on mine. I've lost a bit of inspiration after a Full reject, blah. But I'll pick my ego back up in a day or so and get to typin' (I hope).
Thanks for all the info!!
L.C., welcome aboard the HMS Whackadoodle! LOL. Following your blog too. Happy writing.
Jessica, you're so welcome. After all the revisions (argh), I'll post on the querying adventure. :)
Thanks, Colby. The little butterball is named BANDIT. He's got a perfect little bandana around his neck for markings.
Kimmi, 'preciate you voting for R&T!
CC, all rejection means is that you are getting closer to an acceptance. Keep looking for that perfect (and receptive) pair of eyeballs!
Thanks for the link, Angie! He did describe the angst well, didn't he?
Sure did, Carrie.
Awww! Your pup is so cute! But he could use a little companion to snuggle with and purr in his ear and use its claws to scratch an itch along his back. Hmm? I wonder what animal that would be? ;)
