Clearly. <br />It was great being welcomed at the ITW Registration desk with a complete package including - thank you thank you thank you --a bag big enough to stash a small body. <br />The Grand Regency Hyatt with its fabulous amenities, presented a cool shelter from an sweltering New York City... and even those wonderful things (if I may borrow from Mary Poppins next door)... that writers cherish like a coffee bar, clean bathrooms, online capabilities and lounges to hang-out with others... or have downtime for rest. So, By the time my husband made it up to New York to join me, I was a frazzled delight to be with, he said.<br />Sticker shock was definitely a raw edge for most of us. But then again, here we were in a building with talented writers producing an aggregate wealth revenue of easily several hundred million dollars. Not bad for an industry: Coming from Capitol Hill Washington DC, that's a side of New York I'd want to keep!<br /> <br />Thank you Thriller Fest for encouraging unpublished writers to attend. That was a generous gesture. <br />Now. What I need is to talk to a publisher about "The Cultural Attache" (an international case about an ancient manuscript ...)<br /><br />Best, <br />Gloria Thomas Chamberlintenaceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527615103765725218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229782871616329990.post-7163701504790996432010-07-10T10:08:17.126-04:002010-07-10T10:08:17.126-04:00Allison...it was a pleasure sharing the Paranormal...Allison...it was a pleasure sharing the Paranormal panel with you yesterday; and I was delighted to hear that my nonfic books on the paranormal have been of use to you in your writing!<br /><br />Best<br />Jonathan Maberry<br />www.jonathanmaberry.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229782871616329990.post-14548461452012691822010-06-25T17:23:44.700-04:002010-06-25T17:23:44.700-04:00Bill, the missile whizzing around is a great analo...Bill, the missile whizzing around is a great analogy and the "go dumb" apropos!

The missile will "go dumb," and whiz around aimlessly, until its fuel is exhausted. This ol' writer needs to know where he's going, as well — before launch.William B.

My stories typically involve numerous changes in physical locations and I try to make sure the outline identifies those places. I may not follow the exact order as specified by the outline, but I like to have those locales in my mind as I'm writing. The most important thing the outline does, of course, is identify where the story ends up. It is first and foremost a map showing my main character's ultimate destination.

I have received a number of personal letters from agents praising my novel (an international intrigue set in modern China) even as they rejected it. I sent notes thanking them, but---as ridiculous as it sounds, now, after reading your posting---I never thought to offer to rewrite in line with their comments. I will in the future, however, and will consider going back to those agents who took the time to reject with comments---thanks to you comments.Nina Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525985251167295831noreply@blogger.com
