Sometimes the things that open your eyes -- PTerry saying how he had tops five people in his signing tour in NINETY in the US -- Ninety, when I'd have mortgaged my house to go see him -- are the little "oh, by the way"Sarah A.

When people write, what inspires them, how they approach stories. It's such a mysterious process, every little clue helps.<br /><br />I don't think we need to be too narrow, or afraid of taking a left-field departure in what we blog about. Somehow all these will interconect with either the craft or writing or other aspects - we are not going to be able to help ourselves!Chris McMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883058490702361466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-37079192151185342412009-09-23T20:39:17.368-04:002009-09-23T20:39:17.368-04:00Tom, you know you should never believe what the ru...Tom, you know you should never believe what the rumors say.

I love it when anthologies feature a foreword about how this story or that was conceived. What course of thinking took you to that direction instead of this one? I don't know that it's particularly instructional, but I do enjoy it.<br /><br />Linda DavisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-18507483314781389472009-09-23T08:34:59.407-04:002009-09-23T08:34:59.407-04:00yeah, Matapam.

I've literally been home for a maximum of two weeks, between cons/family/etc. I HATE travel. Fortunately after this trip to TX I'll be home for at least three months.<br /><br />While on that, would you or another dinerite post in the diner I'm not ignoring people? We're still tuning the software for me to get into it (it's cranky) having whacked the computer and replaced everything. And now it doesn't look like I'll get there before leaving tomorrow. I WILL be there next week, though, and I'm doing the sixth musketeer book (long story) which I'll be excerpting as I write. I also want to run a few sample chapters for new stuff past people.Sarah A.
