Hey Adam, I will keep an eye on your writings. All the best!!!

Oh, don't worry, Jeanette, I'm still writing for 6S. I'm just blogging elsewhere. :)

Yeah, the angst was a little top heavy in that story.

Her writing...I only made it through the first novel. Not even all the way through. She does a great job of grabbing on to your emotions and squeezing, but the grammar was terrible! Her use of language was very poor. So disappointed. I can forgive...
July 10
Yeah, next time. I'll forgive you just this once, Jodi. LoL. Oh, I do hand it to Ms. Meyer that she's created a set of characters that many women can connect with. But I refuse to acknowledge these books as vampire fiction. They're simply teen ro...

Wow, I had no idea how opinionated you are. Very fun. Much agreed on Edward Cullens. Sparkling Vampires belong with My little pony on the toy store shelf. Actually, the two would do well to sell together. Come on now, you've got to hand it to Mrs....

Good luck with it, Adam!

Yes, looking forward to the book. I love horror. Your birthday is tomorrow? No kidding? Mine is on Saturday. Except I really do feel old ~ freaking 31. Forty is looking WAY to close.

One of my brother's is 28. I really miss him. You remind me of him in some weird way. ;)

Hope your day is special tomorrow...this year is going to be a great year for you writing wise. ~Jodi

Hi Adam,
How have you been? I'm listening to 'Don't Fear the Reaper' on your site right now. Have you heard HIM's version of it? I love it.

Just wanted you to know I finally ordered that book. Northern Haunts. I'll let you know what I think when it gets here.

Hope you are well ~Jodi

I actually haven't read Hamilton's stuff. I read one Anne Rice book which was ok and Twilight (afterwards I kinda wanted to puke- no offense if you like the book). Dracula is one of my most favorite books of all time, so other vampire stories, with the exception of Salem's Lot and a shortstory called Mrs. Amsworth by E.F Benson, have to be pretty damn good for me to like. I bet I'd like yours though. You have a creepy way of thinking things out. :) That's a compliment for the horror writer.

A total rewrite of a novel? Man, I don't even want to imagine that. I get frustrated rewriting a couple thousand words!

How am I? I've been writing and revising like a maniac. A couple editor requested rewrites turned in, waiting for a response (hate waiting). Trying to write poetry (I hear it improves the story writing process) but I don't know - it's kinda kicking my arse.

What kind of Vampire novel? I"m assuming you don't have any mc named Edward. :)

Congrats, Adam!
How's the short stories coming?
Any luck with Raygun Revival?
Thinking about you and your buddy.

Hi Adam,would you please go to the bottom of the main page and click onto the daily writing contest. I'm number five Hidden Away. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much.

Well, glad to have met you. Keep me posted as you get stories sold! If you ever want to discuss anything about writing whether shorts or novels, plots or character or whatever...feel free to contact me. I am determined to get some good short story sales and sell a novel within the next 2-3 years. Sounds like you are determined also. We are all pulling on the same team. So glad to help out anyway I can. Maybe you can give me good advice about writing novels. I'm looking at jan - feb to start (moving to a new house and want to wait until that is off my mind). I know exactly how I want to write the story but 60 k + words terrifies me!

R.I.P. Steven Sumner 1975-2009

I wish I were writing today under happier circumstances, but unfortunately the inevitable has happened. Many of you know Libby Sumner. Libby's husband, Steven Sumner, passed away yesterday afternoon. He was 34 years old. As many of you know, Steven had been fighting diabetes most of his life, as well as several other illnesses in the past few years.
