Right back atcha! (Frankly, I think all of us should be giving you, like, royalties for all the stuff we’re learning here that makes us more productive elsewhere.) Okay, enough kissing up for one day… Back to work (and then rest)!

… the proofreader who put the period outside the closing parens!

Gosh, I hope you were entirely kidding (and perhaps you were — you did put a smiley there at the end). Kristen wasn’t submitting that bit for publication. She was writing to all her cyber-friends on her own blog. (And unless you’re a British editor and publisher, you should put that period inside those closing quotation marks… says the proofreader of 25 years’ standing).

Clay, a helpful post.
Kristen, please stop writing “you guys”. As an editor and publisher of ten years’ standing, I can tell you that will put your work straight into the rejection pile.

Congratulations Clay! I haven’t made it anywhere near to where you are right now….started out all gung ho years ago (went to college four years) and have sizzled out the last couple years and, finally,I just couldn’t write…. writer’s block…the most dreaded malady for any writer. Now I am trying to get back my groove. I have no book, just ideas and published (small time) short stories, poetry, etc.
I have just started posting my work on here and now I am wondering if the advise on here regarding sending it to FB, Linked-In, etc. is wise???? Please advise. And kudos for going all the way to Nashville. I have always wanted to relocate there or New York or California -somewhere I can be IN the middle of where THEY are and be INSPIRED because I know I am….with all the competition that seems to be crucial! Unfortunately I am financially unable to travel anywhere right now (or self-publish for that matter-wish I had done that when I had the opportunity)….
Thanks to you for sharing. Your story and success are an inspiration to me.
And thanks Kristen for sharing and hosting this blog! I’m very new here and trying to find my way and you’re advise is invaluable.
