In reply to Karen DeBonis. LOL. To see him speak and realize how brilliant and humble and engaging he was...it was a major eye opener for me. I had to share!

In reply to christopherlentzauthor. I agree with you, Chris. We just have to write our stuff. Then finish it and get an edit, try to use good structure, etc. But the biggest thing is to write OUR stories (that only we can tell).

I love Kurt Vonnegut's sense of humor. You were right, Jenny!

In reply to Sher Valentine. Ha! I see what you did there, Sher. I'd still have separated them into two sentences, but that's because I'm always worried that I'm doing it wrong, not because I don't like them.

In reply to Christina Anne Hawthorne. I NEVER find all the cuts! But then I console myself with the thought of "that's what a great editor is for..."

In reply to Ellen Buikema. I haven't read Cat's Cradle yet, Ellen! But I heard wonderful things about it. Several of us in the comments have already rushed to reserve some Vonnegut books. :-) And #4 is hard because writing clearly and concisely is hard. I'm totally with you on that one...
