How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.

So I’m having a wild time over on Nathan Bransford’s blog, where my post “Everything You Need to Know About Writing a Novel, in 1,000 Words” went up yesterday.
People have been absolutely fantastic—total strangers coming out of the woodwork to say wonderful things. What a rush! Thank you to all of you. You guys have been amazing. And, need I say, insightful.
And thank you to Nathan, too, of course, for sharing your vast audience with us guest posters.
I just learned my article “Everything You Need to Know About Writing a Novel, in 1,000 Words” will be one of the guest posts on Nathan Bransford’s blog this coming week, while he’s out doing good in the world. Yes, I’m pretty happy about it.
I do want to thank Nathan for lending his blog to those of us with a less numerous—to say the least—following. I have no idea which day my post will go up, but I’ll post a link here, whatever day it turns out to be. I know he’s on tenterhooks waiting to see you guys!
