Thanks so much WU and Juliet and three cheers to the other winners as well. Shall be haunting the letterbox . . .

Can’t wait for the grumble of the spine as I ease the book open and the whisper of the pages as they turn. Was just commenting today to a writer friend about how a book can be more so much more than just a book but an arousal of the senses.

Welcome to Jane! I really enjoy following her twitter feed.

I’m always up for more craft information. Right now I’m thinking a lot about POV but who knows what I’ll be pondering come January?

Great to have new input! This blog just gets better and better:-)

Like you, Therese, I can’t move on until it’s “right”. The trouble is, of course, the story will change as I type and after a few more chapters, what I wrote last week is no longer “right” so I have to go back and fix it. Add to this that I’m the world’s second worst typist (and that’s only a guess because I haven’t met the worst one yet) and there’s little wonder that I’m still struggling with the same old trilogy after five years of hard slogging.

I’m always excited to get more info on the craft. Writer Unboxed is on my Google Reader and I can’t tell you how valuable your posts have been for me since I started writing.
Topics I’d love to see are POV, how much to leave up to the reader, and being a student of whatever genre you write.
Thanks!

Awesome! I’ve been involved with Writer’s Digest online in one way or another for over a year now, and I love it. Great to see Jane here, too.

I’m excited Jane’s joined up with WU! I’ve enjoyed reading some of her posts in conjunction with WD. =)

I’m trying out NNWM for the first time this year. It’s so fun to write without using the internal editor! Should be hitting the 20,000 mark in a couple of days.

I’ve loved the previous focuses on plot and characterization. I wouldn’t mind a nice crash course in POV or pacing either. Also (I know it wasn’t one of the options) but worthwhile exposition that shows instead of tells would be invaluable.
