    Critique Me!! I want to play too!!

    Never you mind. From the posts, I see someone's written worse. Can only blame yours on bad hair day.

    Thought I'd stick this in here..

    Beautiful, Inkheart! Catching description!

    Regrets

    Action and voice in Running Scared was quite gripping; made one want to read more. This is good too, not sharp enough for me, though. As novella said, both quite different. May be wrong to compare.

    Critique Me!! I want to play too!!

    Novella, you've written better. I've seen your work and this is not near it. Not tight enough, too much excess. Stormyish? Darkish? in other words rain? Please. Don't let your standards fall. Revise. Revise. Revise. But guzzling the vodka's a great description. Glug glug...

    Self Publishing v/s Traditional Publishing

    Well written, well researched, Cathy. Laboi_22, while vetting viable publishers, it might be worth your while visiting this page which lists a number of publishers, guidelines and ratings: http://www.anotherealm.com/prededitors/

    Grants for writing.

    Hi Sugarz, I agree with Demetrio. Most grants are only available for published authors of traditionally published prolific work, and usually if they are undergoing financial difficulties of some sort. If you belonged to a society of authors, they normally would publish a listing of such...

    Help with publishing questions! Please!

    Laboi_22, I'm afraid I disagree with Cathy and Novella because it is bloody difficult to get a goddamn agent or a traditional publisher. It took me a few self-published books and a short story award to get a proper publisher and now an agent - after a properly published novel. This said, it is...

    Making the Bed

    Between two lands, novella. You are very prolific in your writing, each well thought and tightly written (mostly!). Do you have a day job? Retired from mine to be a full time writer - hopefully! I'd better have inspiration and fast or I'm stuffed.

    High Fidelity, a poem

    I agree with Ashlea.

    don't laugh

    Lovely ending, honeydevil. The title somewhat takes away from the poem, methinks. Clown is powerful and tragic. Well done!

    Making the Bed

    It is quite a readable - poem? Or an excerpt of something more. Quite ordinary, yet beautifully written, Novella.

    Beach Music, a poem

    Lovely, Acolyte - is your name Ross? I'm not the greatest on poems, structure and blah de blah, but Beach Music stood out for me. Interesting writing. Sharp too - no wasted words... Are you published?

    Children

    Beautiful, slugbaby. Quite touching. A catching beginning too. I couldn't help but live your experience. If you wanted to make it sharper, active language will do it brilliantly, as your writing is sharp and vivid. 'an offering was offered'; 'to be presented the rarest gift' are examples...

    Hassion: The Perfect World

    Sorry, Dzmancha, I'm not very sci-fi, although I enjoy the occasional farscape. I won't do you justice, and hope someone in this area will get back to you.

    Geenh, this is great! What does your mom write?

    Whitmore/ Publish America/ Mundania

    Cathy, a quick update on this. I had sent some work to Whitmore, who promise no fee. Before I knew it, I had an unsolicited email from Dorrance, 'The Dorrance name has been associated with a tradition of quality subsidy publishing since 1920. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss our...

    Intervention

    Great writing, spatha! Well done. Showing, not telling. Beautiful expressions.

    Love: as a subtle emotion

    It's a bit too cliched, Nosferatu, to grab my fancy, and nothing unique to rise it above. For me, that is. Sorry.

    The most famous you've never read

    Never read Margaret Atwood, but would love to. Ooops! It's not sci-fi, is it? Not a spoiler, I promise.

    Why do you read?

    Selfishly. I read to fulfill myself, whatever the need be. Can't tolerate a drudge.
