I also have two stories in the anthology and was very excited to see that another EDF author lived in the area! "The Burning Black" was excellent, and I'm now scouring the internet for more of your work.<br /><br />With all the fiction I’ve read of yours today, I’m impressed by your skilled characterization and your powerful handling of language. Wishing you continued success,<br /><br />~Megan ArkenbergMegan Arkenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090556068173258323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560998983662708651.post-7213490925796605832009-07-11T07:05:28.571-07:002009-07-11T07:05:28.571-07:00John, thanks for the compliment.

The blog posts usually come fairly easily because I don't bother to write them until I already know what I want to say. <br /><br />And yes, the advice helps. Reminds me I've been meaning to go back and reread Elements of Style. <br /><br />GretaGreta Iglhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10647468825542451799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560998983662708651.post-5832129315781894262009-07-10T18:19:40.266-07:002009-07-10T18:19:40.266-07:00Do you work very hard on your blog posts?

The writing here seems effortless, clear, easy to follow and begging to be read. <br /><br />I sometimes find myself flipping through my "writing rules" as I'm going along and trying to write a story in accordance to what others have dictated is good writing. The advice is often sound, but sometimes better left to be used on revisions and edits. Dunno if that helps.<br /><br />I'm glad you have Jane. She's a peach.<br /><br />--JohnJ.C.
