Thomas Sundell's piece is very interesting. It's remarkable that one can imaginatively travel so far inro a few narrative lyrics.  I think song titles sometimes serve well as short story titles. I myself has a story accepted last year called "Do Nothing Until You Hear From Me."  Of course, that concept (from a famous jazz tune) was worked into the story of a guy trying to make his way after a divorce, especially as regards his relationship with his ex-wife...In any case,  well done with the article, Thomas. 

Loved Mike Magluilo's piece on what he learned about book marketing from his experience writing his novel A Reason to Run. He is spot on condensing a large subject into an understanding novelists can relate to. I especially liked his #2, Clarity, as having experienced this myself; it is so true! Magluilo clearly brings writers back to seeing what inevitably gets buried when marketing a book. 

Tom Sundell's publishing approach is clever and efficient. He obviously works to maximize his readership through this approach. While having written a similar number of works, I am more lazy and laissez-faire about readership. I put my books out and depend on word-of-mouth contact chains for publicity. Hats off to Tom for daring/wanting to write novels exceeding twice the normal length.

I read Maggie Smith's piece on Short Story Publishing. Actually, I read it twice . . . and slowly! Condensed into straightforward points, I'm using her tips as a checklist for writing short stories.

Susan, your piece about recovery is touching and is a reminder to all of us, who take our ability for granted, that the human brain is a marvelous instrument and with tenacity and optimism our noodles can be re-habilitated.
I hope to read more pieces from you and that your hand coordination comes back to you.
