fiction files redux discussion

...but I didn't! Still alive and kicking. Just finished my last semester and will be crowned with my B.A. in English on Sunday!! (It is still a crown, right? Because I'm totally looking forward to that!)

So now I'm back to my own time frame. Applying again to grad schools this summer (first round was a bust...ah-well) and/or looking for some good writing/editing/publishing gigs.

First things first...what should I read? *lol*

Missed you all!
Esther

Well, I knew you didn't die. :)

"Good" writing/publishing/editing? May be best to start a freelance thing from home...

And congrats on the degree! Nicely done! My mom went to school and worked full time when I was a kid, so I have a sense of how hard it is. :)

Congratulations, Esther! Good luck with the Grad School stuff, and/or the job-looking stuff. You should read Lorna Doone now, like me!

Shel - by "good" I mean salary higher than what I get paid now (which wouldn't be all that difficult to find, honestly...)

Thanks guys! Just found out I'm graduating summa cum laude as well! Woot!

And I'm going to check out Lorna Doone,Patty - thanks for the suggestion!

Esther, send me your resume (shelbybower@gmail.com). At the very least I can take a look and give you any pointers I might have, and if you tell me where you'd like to work... I might be able to help. Where I work, we place writers in all kinds of gigs (Aquent).

Summa cum laude - you should give yourself about a thousand pats!

Congrats Esther! That's fantastic!

I read I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith last year and found it enchanting!
