Can't wait to read 'The Coward's Tale'. <br /><br />It's interesting and again, inspiring, how you developed your short pieces into a 'whole', something I'd love to do one day too. Thank you and good luck with the whole lead up to publication, hope you'll blog about it.Teresa Stensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027879292470220383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598558136160705007.post-25308203716795023432010-12-27T09:51:55.289-08:002010-12-27T09:51:55.289-08:00So glad I followed Tania's link here.

I was certainly in one of those - 'don't plot' and 'don't plot' being the mantra I'd heard so much - and I still don't write like that, first pass - but was insecure when it came to the deeper revisions, and anything that had been hard to write - like much of The Coward.Vanessa Gebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088301040602803489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598558136160705007.post-84776676007064307332010-12-22T01:33:11.876-08:002010-12-22T01:33:11.876-08:00Thanks for pinpointing specific issues this writer...Thanks for pinpointing specific issues this writer for one may want to look at in her own writing.<br />Bravo on the grant and the publisher, and I love the way one (grant) may equal two (novel projects).
