16 hours a day? You’re a machine! Way to channel that teaching energy. Be at peace, with that kind of commitment, the agent will come. Thanks for the comment.

That is wonderful to hear! I mean, the part about needing this…Hang in there and use what you can for good (or at least creativity). ;-D

Yes, the commitment to going green is really simple. The commitment to first books and emerging writers is more of a challenge, especially when they don’t have established platforms, and/or when you realize that they either aren’t going to, or don’t seem inclined to want to, really work on promoting their work. So, thanks!

Going green? Very admirable–and much more convenient than using snail mail for correspondence/submisisons. It’s also great to hear about your support for a variety of writers, even those who are just starting out.

Good to get a fresh perspective on criticism at a time when I am feeling thoroughly sick of elitist critical community in which the graduate student is obligated to participate. I needed this.

Love your energy and style! Your website shows an interesting man with creative ideas and all kinds of talent. BTW, I just finished a fourteen-year stint as a professor and hope there’s life after. I’ve been writing 16 hours a day for five weeks and still love it, but the biggest conundrum I’m facing is finding an agent. Grrrrr! It was easier to get published than it is to find an agent. Hissss!

Right! Good points, all, Judee. I thought the research was interesting, and there still seems to be some point of conflict about what the most effective means are. In the end, you need to have the right group, no doubt.

Ha. Yes, I probably was. Good to get know you, too, Margo and looking forward to reading your own commentaries!

Brainstorming does give forth to new ideas, most definitely. But ultimately, in collaborative efforts, some decisions must be made for the final result, and unless people are willing to be open to the idea that another’s idea might work better in a given situation, it can’t really work. If the ego can be left behind, it can continue to flow, but all participants must be willing to take critisism and be open to other creative threads. I’ve seen it work, and I’ve seen it not work, and ultimately, it’s a balance of personalities as much as it is creativity.
