- To my readers so far: Well, according to my stats there have been quite a large number of 'clicks' on the various things that can be found on my site, and many people have looked also at my other websites, www.sardiniansilver.com, www.acolinwright.ca and www.authorsden.com/acolinwright. It is certainly gratifying to know that people have been reading what I've written. But so far it has been ...

- Sometimes, one gets the weirdest feedback. This one does not deserve to be reproduced, but I feel like a bit of pop psychology."Sheesh! Just three words can describe you completely---'obsessed with sex'." I was also called a pseudo intellectual, and I don't know whether it is due to my obsession with sex. I don't know when it started, but the term pseudo intellectual has gained more ...

- "...When you wake up at five in the morning to continue reading, you know that the book has pulled you in! Written with both passion and restraint, the book resonates with the reader throughout. ""All I can say is how poignant, how haunting, how memorable your story!""...a sudden, violent summer storm in the fields of new-mown hay; the tide receding from a rocky shore; a ...

- As the coeditor of an anthology by foreign women in modern Turkey, and an American living abroad in Istanbul, Twitter has been an invaluable tool to bring me closer to the world I work in, and up to speed on my industry. I meet my readers (fellow expats, travelers, writers, and culturati among them) and my publishing world colleagues (agents, authors, editors, publishers) to discuss not only ...

- Cindy is always disappointed when I don't read.I belong to a writers group, Writers under the Arch, that meets every Tuesday. It's fairly informal, and I've been attending, off an on, for more than a decade (there was a span of several years where I dropped out, but through luck managed to find them again). The size of the group fluctuates, but the rules are fairly simple: Read eight ...

- When it comes to writing and getting published, patience is indeed a virtue. I know I may make some people angry by writing about this. If you're one of them (or even if you're not!) feel free to jump in with your own thoughts. I'll listen.

- I met an aspiring author friend at my local Barnes & Noble yesterday. I arrived early, so I stopped to chat with the store's Community Relations Manager, who sets up book signings and other events. Our RWA chapter has a group signing scheduled for May 9th, and I wanted to check to see if there would be problems getting my books. Sadly, there often are, as they're not with the big NY ...

- Here I am. I look everyday to see if someone has left me any comments. The answer is, no one leaves me any comments. Oh, well. I get lonely like the Maytag Repair Man. Is this good?It would be so nice to read some feed back. I sit and write all by self and have no idea how my ideas are recieved. I enjoy writing and that is the important point. Just one little word would do. Thanks.

- The following is an excerpt from a novel I'm working on. I need fresh eyes and honest opinions. Please post your comments, and please be as candid as possible. Thank-you. The men hooked their fingers through the chest-bones' spokes, lifting skeletons bent as slow-footed lame cattle harangued by the wolf simply from scenting a mournful cud grind molting in the mouth. Lifted from sedge gone ...
