Yeah, that's right -- it looks like I'll be posting real-time excerpts from fiction work in progress here, provided it doesn't become too distracting. Please don't feel obligated to comment; I'm doing this because it's convenient, not out any particular need for writerly feedback.

From a publishing perspective, fiction-blogging is a double-edged sword. Assuming I try to find a publisher for something I've posted here, I may be given the bum's rush because, technically, work posted here is "previously published." But more progressive publishers might actually like the fact that I've already amassed a few readers and feel a bit more inclined to help haul me out of obscurity*. So what the hell.

*Always assuming, of course, that what I write is good.

Gosh, I'm starting to feel like I'm caught in an internet synergy vortex - LOL

I usually have several windows open at once because my dial-up connection crawls at a snail's pace, so I can be reading one thing while another loads.

I was here, waiting for page load.

Open another window, checked my blogroll. Writers Blog Alliance showed a new post, so I went there.

New post was about book excerpt, so I went there.

Excerpt contains the phrase "posthuman". LOL

Left your URL there, (with the above explanation)

Will leave his here.

Will hope karma smiles on me - LOL
