Louise Bohmer - From the Writer Side

1312 into TBA rewrite today. We are just 'inches' away from writing THE END for the second and final time, folks, then on to major content edits, a map that needs to be redrawn and sent over to my husband for proper illustration, and more work on the official TBA website, including transferring it to its official domain.

Also did some 'pre-shopping' of Gypsy Wagon, and hunted down some kind test readers for the novella. Thank you to those who have volunteered so far, and many apologies to those I said I would test read for, but have offered not an ounce of feedback yet.

If you are interested in begin a test reader for 'Gypsy Wagon', drop me an e-mail at: blackfaery76@yahoo.ca  Stick test reader in the subject header. It will be awhile until I have any sort of file ready for test readers, but I like to compile them well in advance, as I have a terrible memory, and I save all your names to a helpful file.

That is all for tonight, folks!

Louise xox

I have a very small group of what I consider true friends, and this fine editor lady is one of them. She is no nonsense, down to earth, knows bullshit when it walks and talks, calls a spade a spade, has a heart of purest gold, knows how to step away and be objective, is self-analytical, is deeply analytical period, and has good taste in authors. She loves Douglass Clegg, so of course she has good taste. (She reminds me of Clegg, too, in more ways than one, which she will probably throttle me for printing in this blog, but she will continue to love me, so I'm safe.)

Now, go read what Jason Sizemore has to say about Ms. Jodi Lee -- Apex editor, writer, senior editor for LP, and LBF Books editor-in-chief.

Don't forget, folks, I'll be interviewed by Jason Sizemore (aka Ginger Thang) in September. The interview will appear in the revamped, and now pro paying, Apex Science Fiction and Horror Digest Online. No more print magazine, but considering the goodies Jason has just added for both writers and readers to the Apex Online package, I think we'll have more to enjoy, and nothing to mourn.

From the latest WD mail out. I just had to share it because it is so very true.

Don't Be a Writing Diva

Thinking about spitting a little fire your editor's way? Looking to trash a literary gatekeeper in an e-mail blast? Chill out. Take a breather and read Mary E. Demuth's 18 tips to help keep you out of the High-Maintenance Author category.

"I've seen authors in financial crises who berate their agents because they need their advance checks—now! When that doesn't work, they'll call the publisher directly, ranting. I've also known novelists who take it upon themselves to detail every failure of a publishing entity and e-mail it to an entire company. These are examples of High-Maintenance Authors, or HMAs, and the last thing any author wants is to place himself in this category. HMAs can ruin their chances of further publication through bridge burning, preening and defending every intricacy of their prose."
