Friday Fricassee

Hello, writers!

A few things, and then a small request:

1.  We're going to have a "First Two" for MG next week.  Details will post on Tuesday.

2.  If you haven't read my first Critique Observations post on writing dialogue, YOU CAN READ IT NOW.

3.  I'm all caught up on my 3-page critiques (they're short and sweet and I sprinkle them in between my larger projects).  If you would like a line edit of your first 3 pages, please contact me at authoressedits(at)gmail.com.  The cost is $18 and the turnaround is quick.

And now for the request:

I'd like to take the pulse of my regular readership.  Friday's a good day to do it, because I've heard over and over from many of you who say that Friday Fricassee is your favorite post of the week.  So hopefully you're, yanno, reading this.

If you would, please leave a little comment below containing as much of the following info as you're comfortable sharing:

• age
• sex
• where you live (state/province/region -- please no cities or addresses!)
• what you write
• whether you are aspiring, agented, or published (or an agent or editor)
• one sentence about what you find most helpful on the blog (or the main reason you come here)
• one sentence about your dream...or your heart...or whatever reflects your passion

This will help me to continue in the right direction as I continue through this year on the blog.  It will also offer me an extra bit of connection to each of you.  And, yeah, I love that.

Tomorrow morning, I will randomly choose one commenter to receive a $10 Barnes and Noble gift card.  A small way to say "thank you" for your participation in my little survey.

Have a wonderful weekend!
