Reminder

Please try to get your material for review out by Monday night.  If it is late, reduce it from the nominal size of 6,000 words per slot.  We want people to have a day’s advance time for reading for each 2,000 words of your submission.

 Victories

Shannon was invited to submit to a publisher, but unfortunately has nothing ready and suitable for them.

Ciuin’s editor for Petty Theft wants to help get it to an agent.

Education

Some people outline carefully before writing, others get an idea and go for it.  Regardless of which approach you use (or something in between) your story ultimately needs structure.   James Scott Bell writes about giving your story a structure.

Innovation is not the product of logical thought, although the result is tied to logical structure. ~Albert Einstein

Every king was once a helpless baby & every great structure once a blueprint… Its not where are you today, but where you’ll reach that counts. ~unknown
