To Be or Not To Be?

    So what's the deal here?  This site was suppose to be discontinued three days ago.  Is it out of business, or not?  I wish not.   It's a much better blog set-up than the one on Writers Digest.  And I would not have made my recent purchase of the Writer's Market Deluxe Edition had it not included access to this now probably defunct blog site.

    Okay, that's eerie. The posts did sound similar but I didn't even read yours until you made the comment. Is there something in the water?

    I entered a story that dealt with a couple who were trying to piece their lives back together after a serial murderer killed their daughter so I wouldn't hesitate to enter something that has an edge to it. Part of the reason I suggest this contest is that I do believe having contest wins on a writer's resume helps, but also, it put me into contact with an editor who wanted to see a book of poetry. I'm not saying that happens every time, but you don't know who is seeing your work and what could happen.

    I have the same problem with the word Friend. But that's what's being used. I also don't like "friend" and "text" being used as verbs, but what can I do? And what's up with the no adult content?

    No adult content? I can't believe I missed that part of the terms of agreement. That's what I write (horror/erotica), although I'm learning that I'll never make it if I keep my work in its original form so I'm cutting some of the explicit sex scenes and beefing up the horror element and pimping it out to the horror market. We'll see what happens.
