If you're into blogfests or just want to try your hand at a piece of weird flash fiction, check it out.

I talk about going to Dragon*Con to seek an agent, and the inspiration for my novel.

Today's guest blogger is 17 year old Emilia Plater. She's sharing her query for AUTOCHROMATIC with us all:

An open invite to join me at www.goodreads.com: http://hillaryjacques.blogspot.com/2010 ... -meet.html

Feel free to also tell me your favorite features of Goodreads, since I'm new there. Cheers!

P.S. What's up with blogger pretending it's saving your post every couple of minutes only to eat it alive and leave you angry?

I did a Blood & Gore Fest entry - http://tedacross.blogspot.com/2010/09/b ... entry.html

Back on the wagon after a couple of weeks off:

There has been so much anxiety and anticipation surrounding this damn thing that I’ve actually gone through phases of feeling physically ill at the thought of beginning and ultimately destroying the story I have in my mind...

In which I do not mention writing or reading or trying to get an agent/get published:

I've been readng a number of the blog posts from this forum. If the blogs are any indication of talent, then we have a TON of extremely talented people here! Keep it up!!!!

I'm clicking the "Follow This Blog" button whenever I go to one of these blogs. Not all agents will give the "Followers" number credence, but some do like to establish how much "word of mouth" support the author can help provide in marketing your work.

Anything we can do to help get one of our Forum friends an agent or published is a great idea. What goes around comes around? It shouldn't stop here either. When one of us succeeds, hopefully we can all post their books in our social media to expand their potential sales pool.

If there is anything I can do to help, I'll do it.

All the best,
