[...] Victoria Mixon – her NaNo posts were encouraging and insightful (my fave is here) so when I saw that she’d slashed the price on her books The Art and Craft of Fiction and The Art and Craft of Story specifically for the benefit of NaNoer’s, I couldn’t get to Amazon.com fast enough and you can be sure I snapped them both up lickety-split!

Dear Ms. Mixon,

I am a family practice doctor, who, upon reaching the burnt-out stage, decided to write to save my sanity. I have almost finished my first novel, am about 1/3 of the way through the second, and have finished a short story.

I am considering self publishing, starting with the short story, to see how things go. Would you be interested in a developmental edit of the short story?

It is titled SHIFTING HEAT, 9500 words. Just back from Africa, watched lions mating on the Serengeti, and decided a short story about shape shifters blurring the lines between animal and human sex would be cool. So it’s a rather hot little book.

Thank you, David! You’re very kind.

Common standard is italics for characters’ thoughts. Quotations marks are for speech. Still, some writers and publishers will play with conventions just for the sake of being. . .unconventional.

Character’s thoughts? Italics, quotes, or depends on the publisher? I’m in revision of my first novel, and have read different views about craft. You are magnificent, and have an inspiring site. Thank you for all your time and dedication to the craft of the greatest profession in the world, being a writer.
