Laughing all the way
Our critiquing group met today and the group gave me no feedback on my piece really, because they were laughing too hard. Lucky thing I meant it to be funny. This was a piece such as I do at readings, though it is a new untested one, called The Dreaded Healthy Soup. More feedback was offered when I read my current query letter. They are holding me to task as good writing friends should.The query, they tell me, does not sound like me, and it is not going to influence anyone from the publishing world. Back to the drawing board, kid!

As a gesture of good faith that my current manuscript will someday be published, I am using its title here: All Right So Far. Husband Carl and I have lived and continue to live a wild medical ride these past ten years. During that time my first two books came out and sold several hundred copies, but I want more for this manuscript. I want it to reach people who travel their own health and marriage journeys.

I would rather be read than be rich.
