Friday Four or Five

1. Read two books with themes of death and dying this week, then went to the memorial for a girl the same age as my son. I’m still processing.

2. Structure experiment update: I’ve made it to the midpoint reversal stage, which equals the half way point! Happy to be here. I hope I can get through the second half as quickly. Took time off to work on Agent Awesome’s edits for PLAYING WITH MATCHES. Hopefully it will be sent off to Submissionville soon. If you follow me on Twitter or FB you'll have heard about my near cardiac arrest yesterday, when my edits didn't save! Eek. Had to redo...thankfully I had most notes on hard copy and only had to re-write one scene from memory (which is bad enough). Back on track now.

3. Agent sister JA Souder, is hosting a SECRET AGENT contest. If you are looking for an agent, check it out. Also, Nathan Branford’s colleague, Sarah LaPolla is looking for new clients.

4. My agent, Natalie Fischer (also actively seeking clients), of the Sandra Dijkstra Literary agency has posted on their Facebook page on her template for a good query letter. .

5. My good friend and fellow writer Denise Jaden interviewed the fabulous Lisa Schoeder with questions on writing on verse. Good advice if you’re thinking of trying it.

Happy Weekend Everyone!

PS: Isn't Survivor crazy!
