I'm letting you in on a little secret...

Tomorrow on the Query Tracker Blog an editor from Mindflights Magazine will be spilling her secrets on what makes a manuscript sparkle and how to submit to her magazine. She'll even be answering reader's questions via comments in the post!

I had a lot of fun interviewing Angie Lofthouse so be sure to drop in!

This one's for you, Jacoby

A good friend of mine has let it be known (through the grapevine) that I don't post in this blog often enough. He's right, of course. I am nearing the completion of an addition on our home that will nearly double our living space. I would have sooooo loved to be able to write today, but spent my time learning how to router baseboards, which comes with its own sense of accomplishment.

The good news is, while I have no time to read books, I've had plenty of time to listen to them. I'm a new fan of Jodi Piccoult.

My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

A hard read emotionally, but oh so worth it! The ending was a surprise within a surprise!

FROM GRIEF TO GOLD

What do Hans Christian Anderson, Virginia Woolf, Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemmingway, C. S. Lewis, Edgar Allen Poe, Leo Tolstoy, Jane Austen, Mark Twain, and Isak Dinesen have in common? It’s true that all are all famous authors. But there’s another common thread that binds them.

Without exception, every single one of them suffered tremendous personal loss, most often in their formative years. The depth of their losses translated to depth in their writing – which is why their work has stood the test of time.

Find out how you can turn your bad memories into good writing! Check out the QueryTracker blog.
