40 minutes of nonstop idea flow.
Bill is obviously the professional at staying on topic, which is loosely “How To Think About Selling Fiction Books.” In this session, we covered:
Why fiction writers should be natural geniuses at selling
Why writers might be afraid to set attainable, realistic goals
Why you’re selling more than just your book, and you can’t escape this fact, so you may...

I just got my Facebook page up, and I’m... you can do the same — just search for “like button” in the plugins installer, and pick one. I don’t know how you’d do this with other CMS systems, but I’m sure that Drupal and Ning have equivalents.
HELLO to whoever finds me. ";-) Can't seem to figure this live journal thing out yet, so until I do please visit me at my blog: http://writersally.blogspot.com.

A friend of mine told me about Gotham writing classes (AKA writingclasses.com... I learn something every time I reread a book I’ve practically memorized on writing, so I’m looking forward to taking at least one of these classes this year.

Me: I want to work on my novel! Grim George: You can't. It won't work. You aren't really good enough. Maybe you are okay at short stories, but a novel? You're kidding yourself. Might as well give... Still, that made me angry, so to spite her I sat down and wrote 2,000 words of novel. Then I went for a walk and came back and wrote another 1,000 words. That's a big Fuck You to Grim George.

Jerry stared at his still-dismantled computer. Huh. Maybe too much sugar was a bad thing
...fire and burned down in front of us as we were returning from a family vacation. My mother became hysterical, and I thought, 'this is symbolic, this is a metaphor.' Which shows you just how sick writers really are. It had been coming on for a while, what with the pornography addiction and quitting therapy and cutting myself off from the world.

I’ve had some short stories read publicly, but not much has been published. It’s not easy to fit all the relevant info in such a short format.

..... One of my friends also wants to come over so she can play Left 4 Dead 2 with me. "I can hear my neighbor sneezing through the wall..." Maybe I'd better watch out how loud I blast my music... "Meh. Writers' Club..." Yeah, I've only posted up one of my short stories. Actually. That's my ONLY short story. xD I'm working on a novel-length piece but I'm not really making any progress. Just thought I'd...
