I've drafted two nonfiction stories, and now all I need to do is revise them. I've also turned back to manuscripts that I haven't worked on in months; I'd missed working on them.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-91824842518101484272018-06-07T08:43:39.065-05:002018-06-07T08:43:39.065-05:00Hi Crystal,

If I had known that, I would have saved several of those blog posts rather than put them online. And good luck with your books! That's a lot of writing, but it's impressive that you've done so much already!Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-51351366386055904582018-06-06T21:44:11.217-05:002018-06-06T21:44:11.217-05:00Good for you for submitting your story!

Here's hoping you find wonderful homes for you pieces. And honestly, yes. If it was posted on a blog and has since been revised, definitely feel free to submit it.

I originally meant for this to be a serious blog, but I often write in the same way that I think (I basically have the mindset of George Costanza after he's had too much caffeine). <br /> I really would like to use material from this blog (a revised version, of course) because I think there's some good stuff here, and I'd like to share it with more people. <br /> And good luck with your writing too! That's one of the things I like about blogging; there's this community of writers who support and encourage each other. :)Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445163857888749606.post-3908937205151511802018-05-29T06:22:16.842-05:002018-05-29T06:22:16.842-05:00Hey, glad you're writing again, and submitting...Hey, glad you're writing again, and submitting! There are quite a few books now that started life as blogs, so you'd be in established company if you do use content from this blog.<br /><br />I think you manage to put a lot of humour into your writing - it's one of the things that keeps me hanging around. <br /><br />I'll be querying my novel, writing something that will hopefully be a novel, and rewriting a couple of short stories to submit to literary journals.<br /><br />Good luck with your submissions!Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.com
