Good interview--and introduction to who I am!

This is a great interview by Norman Goldman and it will serve as a way of introducing myself to you.

For some reason, the link is not working, so you'll have to cut and paste:

Hey Lynn!
It's alright, I've got you in my page, and that's all that matters to me now.

Thank you for accepting my friendship. I am so happy to meet all you wonderful people, and I look forward to us chatting when we've got down time (ha!) Talk soon!

Why does Bookplace think I'm a 37-year-old male? I can't fix that. I think it's pretty hilarious, though!

I don't really understant what is the difference between a discusssion and a forum comment. Anyone want to clear that up for me?

BTW, I happened on a great web site: www.librarything.com
It's totally addictive.

Oh, Carol, I agree. The rewrites are very important. I find revision more enjoyable than trying to make plot points lie down and behave. :-)

Hey Lynn, congrats on completing the first draft of your latest!! Yes, it's a great feeling, isn't it? Now the fun part begins -- the rewrites.

Happy rewriting!

If you ever need a professional literary review I hope you will keep me in mind. You may see samples of my work on the portfolio page of my website: www.mywritingmentor.com. You will like my fees for ning.com members...(read: free). The only catch is that if you use any part of the review you include my name and my company's name.
I am also an editor and book writing coach. Who is the little shadow on your shoulder? He resembles my buddy Master Yoda.
With warm regards,

I just finished the first draft of my fourth novel. Is the fourth one the charm? Now I get to do all the fun revision. Honestly, though, I enjoy revision. Lots of opportunities to make my prose shine. I'm looking forward to it.

This book is going to be the ONE. Right?

I have published my first novel, Shane. It's "Excited Light" and you can order it from Amazon.com. It's not a thriller like your stuff (and you've done very well, BTW). It's a magical realism book and deals with addiction, recovery and sprituality. I hope you'll take a look at it. It's featured on my Web site, www.lynnvoedisch.com.

And I don't know if there were any "cool people" at the Sun-Times, but thanks for saying I was one of them!

Hi, Lynn--

Wow, long time no hear! Everyone, Lynn and I worked at the Sun-Times many moons ago, and she was one of the cool people there. Lynn, I hope you're doing well and getting ready to publish that first novel!

Time Out for Kindle Reading

Our local library has 8 kindles available for its patrons. The DH and I both got on the waiting list, mainly so I could use one. His number was reached and we picked up the kindle on Sunday afternoon. Now I've got a kindle to read for 2 weeks! So far I'm really loving it, especially the current book I'm reading, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.

What about you? Do you own a kindle? Or, have you tried someone else's? Would you like to?

Who's Doing Cyber Monday?

I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.

What about you?

Did You Shop on Black Friday?

There's still time to take the poll to the left about what you ate at Thanksgiving.
About Black Friday -
The DH despises mob scenes, but my brother and I do love the adventure of shopping on Black Friday. We weren't courageous enough to get up at the crack of dawn, though, so we did miss out on a few goodies, like the snuglee blankets and pots and pans sets at Menards, and some other items. I did manage to get some work gloves at almost 50 cents each pair, and a boot/shoe dryer which sounded interesting and was less than $9.00. The biggest extravagance there was this turntable with MP3 encoding/AM FM radio combination thing, but that was only $49.00, which isn't too bad. I didn't go for any of the high ticket items.

I didn't do too bad, but do have some Staples rebates to send in. They're pretty easy to do online, so I don't mind doing them. I bought some USB flash drives, batteries, and CD rewrites there.

I also bought a reversible light grey, almost white bubble coat and some grey boots at Walmart, both items $7.00 each, which I plan to use walking Rascal.

What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of deals did you get?

So, this year I was pretty practical, but it was still fun and I did get a few things I hadn't expected to find.

What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of finds did you get?

Did you eat any of these foods at Thanksgiving dinner?

Since it's a busy time and an eating time, here's an easy poll to take in the left column. It's okay to pick multiple answers as long as they don't conflict. You can also leave a comment about a particularly favorite dish, if you wish.

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.

When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
