So sorry to hear you got knocked out! Still, what an achievement. But now you know the manuscript has potential, so good luck with it next year. Make sure you put the fact you were a finalist in any query letters you send out

Comment on Asian, American, and Whitewashed by Finny

That’s awesome! I know I didn’t feel that I knew other cultures as well as my own (Asian, American), and so I thought to implement those two. I keep thinking about who else I can throw into the mix!

You know I never thought of it but most of the characters in my books are not white. Three are hispanic, one Vietnamese, one Japanese, one African American, and a few are gay. It seemed natural to me to write what I know, write people I know.

LOL! I love Lazy Bum. Although not so much when I’m trying to read something you have written. At those times LB and I are worst enemies.

Ender’s Game is so amazing! Glad to see it on your list. You’ll be reading THE COLOR PURPLE more than once–it’s that good, and buy two copies of THE PRINCESS BRIDE–you’ll be forcing others to read it. ATONEMENT is beauty put to paper, have a box of tissues ready. An addition I’d add, just to round yourself out would be THE MONK by Matthew Gregory Lewis. Nothing like late 18th century smut/horror/trash! It’s a fast read, and very engrossing.

Add Interview with a Vampire [anne rice] & 20,000 leagues under the sea [jules verne] to your list instead of some of those doubled-up authors.

I think we all feel that way, post contest from hell. That’s right, that’s what I’m calling it because that’s what it felt like!
I’m having a hard time getting back into gear with Stellar, which should have been my Nano novel! So I’m doing a little bit at a time, stopping in to say Hi to all my pals and telling ‘em do whatever you have to do!
