Apparantly I was required to back up my faux vanity remark, so I did. Which ALSO reminds me: I'm now in touch with my aunt, who is actually in the business of writing, about making said manuscripts both better in the general sense and better in the marketable sense. Another step forward to more rejection letters! ::)

LOL. I had to fix my typo now, but at least it was a funny typo. My browser has taken issue with the Butcherboards so if I type anything half the length of the screen it won't let me see what I'm writing until after I post it.
And Jim does have good hair. He has confessed that he stores his creativity in his beard.
KTB I need someone who's in the business to hopefully tell me whats wrong before we start sending it to publication, but I'm not there yet so I'm just waiting until it's all finished before I really get anal about the revising.

That's a compatibility issue with Explorer 8. To the right of the address bar is a little icon that looks like a piece of paper torn in half. Click that, and it should fix the issue. It will reload the window, though, and if you were in the middle of a post you'll lose everything. Fair warning.
Also, I dunno...
Reddish hair > brown hair. Long brown hair > reddish hair.
On the other hand, Shannon can kick my ass, so I better not sigh too much over Jim's hair. Ok, you win.

My hair experiences have certainly supplied material for writing both humor and gender comparison...even the more unnerving stuff is funny now that I've got time and distance from it.
As to strategies beyond constantly taking advantage of willing alpha-readers and helpful assosciates I'm picking up a diversification of portfolio plan set out by others here. By the end of the year I'm geared to having three seperate novel projects [in different genres] each being considered by multiple agents. Talk about setting myself up for an ego bruising! :D

Howdy all,
I'm Eddie. I just found this site so am a little late to the party, but I'll be polite and introduce myself real quick. Unlike most of the posts I've read here I haven't been writing my whole life. There has been a story banging around in my head for a long time and I finally decided to try to get it out on paper. It's Fantasy-ish and I am currently outlining/getting to know my characters. I finally figured out the beginning of my story but don't know the end yet.
Anyhoo, JB is one of the two authors that finally inspired me to get my rear in gear and start working earnestly on it, and finding his writing tips journal was a minor epiphany for me, (it's amazing how easy something can seem to the person who has no idea how it actually works) and this forum is great. Knowing there are others attempting this makes me feel less crazy in trying to pursue what is quickly becoming an obsession. So, good to meet all of you (in an internet-y sort of way) and see you on the forums.
