Who Needs the Gym!
Who needs the gym when you’ve got weeds! I’ve got weeds so thick and so tall that I think a forest is establishing itself along side the curb of my house. A very long curb. So, instead of going to the gym I put on a thick rubber glove (I had no gardening gloves) and started yanking those weed/trees and weed/bushes. By the time I finished, I felt as if I’d done a hundred lunges and my right bicep muscles and triceps are definitely going to have better muscle tone than the ones in my left arm.
Book Review and Interview with Debut author L.K. Madigan:
There’s a photography quote in Flash Burnout by Henri Cartier-Bresson: “Your first ten thousand photographs are your worst.” We writers put it this way: “Your first million words are crap.” So get started writing those million words … because it’s only through actual writing that you will find your voice.

. . . I had within the last few years signed and sold two new writers based on queries that were not very strong, technically speaking, and didn't have the elements I like to see, like comp titles, but just had *something* about them that appealed to me; in one case a fun, confident voice, and in the other, good sample pages. http://jennybent.blogspot.com/
