EBS

The IP address of my server has changed. Why dwell in technical matters two days in a row? Because for a brief time today or Thursday the site may appear inaccessible. Up without incident since September 20th I hate to see anything tarnish the run, but it’s out of my hands.

Should the site not work – have faith. Nothing is broken. All operations will resume. I promise. This is only a test. Had this been a real emergency…BEEP. Cue the color bars. ;)

I’m considering a writer/agent workshop this June. My main hesitation – can I finish Velocity by the session date? If I’m to spend the entire day in a conference room with bunches of agents and hundreds of writers, I intend to pitch a finished product. At present, the biggest obstacle is the 2 page per session barrier. Cohesive until that point, every third sentence beyond that mark, sketchy. Lord knows, I’ve tried forcing more to the surface. A review of the “additional content” reveals all the usual defects: lack of focus, excessive attention to useless details, and repetition. Three deadly sins.

Thursday I’ll try split sessions, one in the morning, one in the evening. Maybe I can fake it out of me.

    But even if you don’t have it 100% complete – you’ll still have a large proportion done, right? Plus Ridge Runner is done. So why the stress? Seems like that’s more than enough product for your sales pitch.

    Sam, this is it, you can’t hide behind perfection, it isnt happening! You need to get out there and take some chances, face it you arnt going to get published from under the covers!!

    I believe in you, dont have expectations, just do your best, present what you have, and if the time is right it WILL happen.
