I NEED ATTENTION
Hah - got your attention with that line, didn't I? It popped into
my head as I was basking in the afterglow of my birthday last Monday.
Lots of people sent e-cards and emails to help me celebrate. Lots of
family called. It wasn't until the end of the day I realized there
weren't a lot of presents. There wasn't even a party. My family and
I went to a new restaurant I'm in love with now, and I splurged on
French Silk Pie for dessert. Yum.

I like birthdays better than almost every other holiday. It's about
the one person and nothing else. That person is special. Everyone
calls, writes and reminds them that they are appreciated in some way
for being in this world. Even my dentist sent an e-card.

People remember when you remember them.
Of course you cannot log in everyone's birthday that you know.
However, there's nothing wrong with an annual tally of who in your
life makes your writing easier, better, more successful. Pick one
day per year and send thank-yous to those who have enabled you as
a writer - the postmaster, the clerk at the office supply, the kid
who works on your computer, the newsletter editor who sent you
markets, the editorial assistant who helped you get your query
put through to someone higher, the bookstore manager, the school
teacher who let you speak to her class, the librarian, the president
of your writing group.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
Only through experience of trial and suffering
can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared,
ambition inspired, and success achieved.

The Growing Genre of Erotica
By Roxanne Rhoads
NOTE: Please go to this link...
...for this week's article. It involves a growing genre of
writing some of you might be interested in, to include author
groups and markets for the genre. However, email filters will
likely screen it out of an email and some writers might not
be interested in such a subject, so we've placed it online for
you to read at your leisure.
