What amazes me is how much time and head space fiction writing takes. <br /><br />And reading magazine submissions for my new magazine, even after two other people have read them is way more time consuming that I thought it would be. <br /><br />But these writers work hard to produce their stories so they deserve a careful read. Even with two other editors helping me, it's a tall task. I don't know how you balance so many things so easily!Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546882686381428986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432484.post-40871726574315533982011-08-21T07:37:27.634-04:002011-08-21T07:37:27.634-04:00Those books sound fascinating!

And my posting went from four or five times a week (in the early days, 6-7 days!) to twice a week and one of those is just photos/videos.<br /><br />Deadlines have a way of sneaking up on a writer :-DKathryn Magendiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863595228298349863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432484.post-57241943513229197532011-08-19T08:50:39.364-04:002011-08-19T08:50:39.364-04:00I'm voting for you to outsource your worries, ...I'm voting for you to outsource your worries, cares and laundry to tiny little robots who are programmed to do nothing but make your life easier, Vesper!Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546882686381428986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432484.post-82845405082037540192011-08-19T08:49:26.188-04:002011-08-19T08:49:26.188-04:00Hi Charles- Just got the final edits back from the...Hi Charles- Just got the final edits back from the editor for "Tainted Blood," and "The Ghost Box" should be done with the edit process by Halloween.

And even then it's a hindrance...<br /><br />You've had a great year so far, Rick. Two novels! Wow!<br />I wish I had even half a novel... Reality seems to be taking over in my case.Vesperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417602625059442986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432484.post-48494670066227141032011-08-18T22:14:36.469-04:002011-08-18T22:14:36.469-04:00Those novels sound cool.

Well, reality is far overrated anyway.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432484.post-82523084293211805662011-08-17T12:08:34.817-04:002011-08-17T12:08:34.817-04:00Hello Christina!

Headed north in 3 weeks to hunt for the "Witchy Wolves" since I'll be doing a presentation on them at Conclave this year.<br /><br />Oh no, you've got to keep writing. For one thing, you've got talent. Second, you have talent, and third- you have to use that talent!<br /><br />The real world comes and goes in cycles, but stories live forever. Think about this: when you're finally dead and gone, do you want people to analyze your credit card statements to determine who you seemed to be, or would you rather have them read your stories to see who you really are?Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546882686381428986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432484.post-32660428644643866752011-08-17T10:25:11.454-04:002011-08-17T10:25:11.454-04:00I was just going to send you an email today to see...I was just going to send you an email today to see how things were going. Good to hear you're in the writing. :)<br /><br />Have you had any cool adventures lately? I love how you balance so many things in your life.<br /><br />I haven't been balancing. I've been running a lot lately, working or meeting up with people. Not spending much time writing.<br /><br />Hope to hear from you soon.LoveRundlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177659277273835858noreply@blogger.com
