Oh? Satisfying in what way?
Nothing today; fingers crossed for tomorrow. I could do with my WM fix this stressful week!
Woot! Can't wait. Any day now...
TN, don't think it's made it to Sainsbury's yet...only left our warehouse yesterday!
:D
Ah.
Must have been last month's. It had a long-haired lady on the front. Didn't see the date. It was too high up on the shelf.
Must remember to wear heels when I go shopping.
Webbo it looks a great issue- but I have writing to do first before I can start reading it. :)
Or take a stepladder.
Yes it was, 'cos it's in Tesco.
*sigh* had to buy WF instead seeing as WM wasn't there
*smiles*
I don't think I've been quite this satisfied before. And I haven't even ripped it from its protective plastic cover.
Just had a quick flick through - which isn't nearly as satisfying as sitting down with it and languishing over it, slowly, I can tell you.
I managed to read a few of the letters over breakfast this morning, and I intend to get back to it over lunchtime.:)
Is this what you mean by 'satisfying', Webbo?
I don't think it's wise to give her a capital 'D'. It might go to her head.
dora has always been lower-case.
Great stuff, sallyj
Have had no time to look at it yet.
I've had a quick look at my copy - but not read it.
Charmin innit!
Congratulations, Sally.

But you know we love you.
There is very little more to it ....i stalled about four pages in.
Tbh, I had noticed in a previous edition he had made one or two points which I thought were questionable as to whether he was merely stating what he preferred more than it was a general error writers made.
Is it in this month's copy, Gabrielle?
Perhaps you should ask Writing Mag if one of their tutors would give you a free critique as compensation? I'm not sure of Mr McCreet's qualifications when it comes to 'people skills' though I'd suggest one of their tutors may be better placed to discuss your work with you seeing as it has upset you so much.
That kind of criticism needs a forewarning!
Not all writer have yet built up a hard skin to cope with a negative review- I know I was devastated when it happened to me elsewhere, yet the following year the same piece got a great response from a writer who was familiar with the genre I was writing in- I'd made no changes between the two occasions either...
If another qualified person had read it and said the same thing, then you do have to consider that you are missing something that they can see.
But please don't give up. (((Gabrielle)))
