Thanks for sharing Suzette!

In "On the Net" can you really get critiqued by Collen Lindsay twice? That would be awesome. As is her post about what not to do - or I guess that would be un-awesome, or whatever.

Congrats to Sarah, Amanda and Karen.

Today's guest blogger is Rachel Alpine!

I tried literary agents, and that did not work for me as a first time novelist, so I self published my new novel http://newnovelannouncement.blogspot.com/ I'm hoping I sell enough of my novel to get an agent the second time around for the sequel

Thanks, Stina! And LOL, Matthew. Thanks for catching my typo. ;) It would be nice to be twice critiqued by Colleen Lindsay, though, wouldn't it?

I tried to see comments about what Colleen Lindsay posted and I don't see the ability to comment. Anyone else notice? Am I missing it? What a screwy email!
