Website humming along. Just started work on My Favorite Scribes page to showcase writers I've met on thenextbigwriter.com who reviewed my work, told me what was what, and helped make me a WAY better writer than I could ever have become on my own. If you're looking for a place to mingle with other writers, check out www.thenextbigwriter.com and no, I don't get a commission if you sign up! Being able to put up a page to promote other writers is actually an unexpected bonus to having my own website. I'm really pleased about that! Have begun my search for an agent for Willow, scrabbling through the 2007 Novel & Short Story WRiter's Market. If you're in the process of putting together a submission package, great book to have handy! And no, I don't get a commission on that either! I've been sweating out a synopsis. Most agents want 1-2 page synopsis. Damned if I know how to squeeze a tightly plotted 481 page ms into 1-2 pages without losing something! I guess I'm trying to get away from and then this happened and then that happened and give a flavor of what's happening with the characters, but it's hard to do that out of context of events. Nevertheless, I've got an eight page synopsis down to three, which ain't bad. Also going to submit Keeping Gerald Alive. Think it's ready for marketing. Took a four-week, online course with Writer's Digest Writing School on marketing the short story. Fabulous course. Highly recommend it to anyone not sure what to do with their short stories. Anyway, that's what's going on here, aside from the fact it's FREEZING cold!! Happy February. Roisin
