As I may have mentioned, I am the newest member of the Writer Beware team. I've been providing assistance to Victoria Strauss and Ann Crispin on the team for almost a year now. However, tonight was a little different.

Tonight I wrote my first post for the Writer Beware blog.

No, it's not posted yet. wishweaver needs to give it another going-over before I post to the web site, but it should be going up early tomorrow morning.

Yes, I'm nervous. Sure, I post here all the time, but this is my "first public appearance" so to speak as a Writer Beware member. No, presenting the annual report to SFWA at NASFIC isn't really a public appearance, in my opinion.

I'm hoping wishweaver cuts it down a bit. I'm thinking 738 words is probably a bit long for a blog entry, but there were some very good examples I wanted to use to make my points and I wasn't quite sure how much detail was too much. Luckily, Wish is a good editor and I'm going to trim it myself in the morning also.

So, no writing on any novels, but definitely writing about writing tonight. Just means I get to spend some extra time tomorrow noveling.

Oh, and if you're wondering what the avatar is, she's the Koi Wonder, of course, piscine super heroine and fraud-hunter extraordinaire (thanks, Brenda). We'd tell you more, but we're afraid it's classified. *grin*
