Given my businss partner and I are getting down to the serious business of editing our anthology - it seems like a good time to sweat the small stuff.<br /><br />Finding a balance betweent the details and the gist is an interesting job. This is where I love dialogue - getting conversation to take care of the details (the world building as it is in my current project as outside participant of Fourth Fiction) I've also been writing and editing to the maxim "does this progress the story" ... I guess that can be rather subjective when we're in so close to the story ... but I've found it helpful to sweat out the important small details and the unimportant ones.Jodi Cleghornhttp://jodicleghorn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932439748446212443.post-11877331592878942382009-08-18T17:04:10.071-04:002009-08-18T17:04:10.071-04:00This just made me think of first-timers at a Weigh...This just made me think of first-timers at a Weight Watcher meeting when they think we are all in a cult too!

Sometimes, there's unnecessary cruelty in the delivery of criticism.<br /> I'm thrilled to hear that the book reached you safely AND that you're enjoying it. It always warms the heart to hear that your work is appreciated, especially by an expert in the field! It's a dream come true just to have the book as a physical presence, but of course, a TV or movie version would be incredible. :)<br /> Thank you again for your kind words of support.

I'm not an avid reader these days (but I used to be) it takes a lot to hold my interest.

As a sales guy, it is important to distinguish between what people say, and what they mean. for example, the prospect who says that he is interested in what i am selling, as he walks as far away as possible from me.Shawn Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01290241481890970687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932439748446212443.post-86090555873640042002009-07-10T15:29:23.559-04:002009-07-10T15:29:23.559-04:00It was highly glamorous, indeed, Shawn! :)It was highly glamorous, indeed, Shawn! :)Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754484008774874497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932439748446212443.post-84076039171089263552009-07-10T00:21:56.152-04:002009-07-10T00:21:56.152-04:00neptune can also add a touch of glamour to your li...neptune can also add a touch of glamour to your life, as it did here.Shawn Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01290241481890970687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932439748446212443.post-78689914738742270262009-07-08T00:34:53.406-04:002009-07-08T00:34:53.406-04:00I have had two friends who have been without cell ...I have had two friends who have been without cell phones. One of them just recently got one (I think it has to do with his girlfriend). He had traveled around the country for about 5 years selling magazines, I guess he just got used to only occasionally phoning people. The other one doesn't have a job which I suppose sort of explains it, but he tends to act as his girlfriend's answering service when they're together. <br /><br /> Me, I use my phone for the internet mostly (argument settlers and trivia checkers), and GPS now that I have an iPhone. The fact that it makes calls is just sort of a bonus. I for one won't be buying that app. I don't think need everyone to know when I'm stuck in traffic. How unnecessary. If someone really wants to know where you are, they can just as easily call or text. It would be somewhat more sociable.juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657620765397685522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932439748446212443.post-26284507122790920142009-07-06T19:08:37.688-04:002009-07-06T19:08:37.688-04:00Meet your friendly neighbourhood Luddite!

We've had it for 3 years and used it no more than a dozen times. We have On-Star in the car and have only used it for incoming calls on 2 or 3 occasions. <br /><br />Most of our lives we've grown used to having just a phone in the house, to use sparingly. I went for several years with no phone at all, relying on a call-box outside my apartment. It's not so bad! <br /><br />The world must surely have reached saturation point now phone-wise. :-)<br /><br />Yours truly<br />A.Luddite. ;-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932439748446212443.post-79609764804766877562009-07-05T22:09:08.641-04:002009-07-05T22:09:08.641-04:00Thank you, Mark! :)Thank you, Mark! :)Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754484008774874497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932439748446212443.post-77970144684793118822009-07-05T17:02:37.637-04:002009-07-05T17:02:37.637-04:00Congrats, Jared!Congrats, Jared!Mark David Gersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235005264532240677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932439748446212443.post-67628579838569581162009-06-28T09:42:08.571-04:002009-06-28T09:42:08.571-04:00Twilight,
