      Magical Nights
      All alone without a song
      Hard mud underfoot
      Goodness me, am I gracious?
      Song Lyrics
      Guess what I am?
      We the human's
      THE CLOUD CHILDREN
      I am a proud Pontian Greek Australian.
      A poisonous devotion.

Thanks for sharing.

A friend who's doing his second round of edits with his agent/publisher shared the following...
- take on board the critiques without being too emotional from it as that is how it'll make to another good round (if not the final!)
- be prepared to be patient...very patient...

Brilliant post. This should be printed out and framed and displayed prominently on the walls of libraries. It should be mandatory for students of creative writing to be able to recite this from memory. It should be read by every publisher, literary agent and writer in the greater universe.

But first, I'm sending a copy to my mum. Maybe now she'll stop nagging me to write something.

Seriously, this is the best and fairest summary of the industry I have seen. Many thanks.

Regards,
Chris

Hi Jo,

A couple of weeks ago I was helping my daughter write a speech for the public speaking competition at her school. As she was writing it, it occured to me that this might make a good children's picture book.

So over the course of a week I wrote a children's picture book. I have absolutely no idea if it is any good. There are so many courses out there about how to write children's stories that I don't know if I've totally missed the mark or what.

But nothing ventured nothing gained. I didn't think I would be a published author...and I still might never be

But hey, thanks for the hot tips. I think if the book doesn't go anywhere I won't be too upset because this is a surprise to me.

What I really want to be when I grow up is a screenwriter.

Love & stuff
Mrs M
