Wrapping Up and Writing

As we finalize our selections for the inaugural issue of Conclave: A Journal of Character, I’m starting to crawl out from the mountains of submissions to rediscover the world around me. I hope to get back to blogging (and my own fiction writing) in the months to come. In the meantime, I came across this entry and it gave me a chuckle (as do many things about the creative process).

It’s an entry about process in author Leslie Pietrzyk’s blog, Work-in-Progress that featured an email from writer Richard Goodman.
