I wrote a long post about how characters make a story great. I personally think that well-written characters are as important as a good writer, and way more important than a witty narrator.

This post isn't about writing, but it's about the psychotic break college students have during finals week. AKA - ME!

(There's book reviews further down the page)

P.S. I haven't had a comment on my blog since Sept. 3, will someone take pity on me?

*hugs* Thanks, sis. :) (I've decided we're clones or sisters or not-quite-parallel versions of one another or something, so I'm second-adopting you. Best done when someone is already an adult so you don't have to share a room or your Halloween candy with them.)
Awe! *Hug!!* I'll have you!

Today I share my thoughts on why word-counts shouldn't even be commented on when critiquing query letters.
