The link for the Online Writing Workshops is messed up a bit, has your URL in front of the URL for the site.

Sigh. Sorry. I screwed up - it’s fixed now.
I used to do HTML for a living you know….

hey, mur: now that you’re a published writer, does that mean you won’t associate with the rest of us who aren’t published? Or are you going to have to change the name of the ‘cast to “I Have Been Writing, So Nyah-Nyah”?
Writegeist (under 2000 words left to go for NaNoWriMo!)

Steve-
I’ll send your comment to my assistant and he’ll get back to you after my massage.
(And I’m sure he’ll tell you good luck finishing NaNo!)

First of all; congrats on selling the story! that’s great news.
I reached my 50K in Nanowrimo 4 days early, and now I’m trying to ‘do it on my own’ and that’s hard, to be honest. I loved the deadline and I’m not sure if I can keep it up. I promised myself 3k a week instead of 2k a day, but so far I haven’t been able to write even 500….. Somehow I’ll manage.
Ok, that’s it for now… I should be writing!

Great show on writing, Mur. I listen to the podcast religiously. For myself, there is nothing like writing on my own. Writers’ groups are not for me. But hey, it’s all about whatever works! I linked to your podcast from my site, http://www.cesartorres.net. Rock on!

Congratulations on your first published fiction story. I bet you did the “Giddy Dance” after hearing the good news. I know I did with mine.
