Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:42:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: robena grant http://www.arghink.com/2007/12/11/the-twelve-days-of-shar/#comment-15988 robena grant Wed, 12 Dec 2007 01:52:16 +0000 http://www.arghink.com/2007/12/11/the-twelve-days-of-shar/#comment-15988 So go ahead, rub it in. HWSW ends soon. Well, we'll still have the Cherry Forums, we'll just frequent that, right colognegirl? Yep, I suppose it will be good times ahead for you and Bob, not for us. It must have been a mammoth undertaking for you guys, one we struggling writers are thankful for. I feel like I'm finishing up my junior year of learning the craft of writing and now in 2008 I have to quit futzing around and produce something decent, otherwise I've failed the course. So, if I produce something good, do I at least get a HWSW certificate? I mean you don't have to send me a pony or anything, but a certificate would be nice. Okay, I'm going back to writing now. So go ahead, rub it in. HWSW ends soon. Well, we’ll still have the Cherry Forums, we’ll just frequent that, right colognegirl?

This year I cut back on all blogs and even left my local chapter. I'm concentrating solely on writing, except for one obsession, this blog, Bob's blog, and the HWSW workshop. So now I get to read some D&G, without breaking any of my heavily enforced rules, happy days. It's starting to sound a lot like Christmas. Oh, super duper.

It's even more exciting having met the three of you. When we were at the con, I asked everyone who was a "pantser" and who was a planner, and to a person, everyone raised the hands for "pantsing." If you can work it into a post, I'd really be interested to know how you can have three "pantsers" collaborate and find the ending of the book. I gues what I'm saying is, you already know at this point how many scenes you need for this act, so you all must know the ending of the book already, right? It isn't like one of you will wake up and say "Oh! The butler didn't do it, the dead doctor did!" Maybe this comment would be better over at D&G. I haven't been there in a while, so if it's already been beaten to death, sorry. I’m really glad you’re doing this. It’s even more exciting having met the three of you.
