People have to remember how subjective this business is. Soon (in January) I will post about this in more detail. <BR/>Stay tuned...ORIONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01534064935115027523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35256059.post-1166712132458863192006-12-21T04:42:00.000-10:002006-12-21T04:42:00.000-10:0071 Degrees?

I had to take my son to the train at 6:30, so I was up early and puttering about. <BR/>I have to admit I blew the crapometer - had no idea what a hook was, lol. Now I know! My number isn't up yet, but I know what she will say (because I've learned a LOT) "This isn't a hook, it's the first paragraph to a story!" <BR/>Argh!<BR/>LOL!<BR/>What was your number?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35256059.post-1166642048942471042006-12-20T09:14:00.000-10:002006-12-20T09:14:00.000-10:00Well, I am very envious of your 71 degrees, ma'am!...Well, I am very envious of your 71 degrees, ma'am!<BR/>We are under a blizzard warning until 6am tomorrow morning here in Colorado Springs.

Check out Rachel Vater's blog for a softer, gentler take on submissions. I love Miss Snark for her Snarkicism - and I do learn a lot there. <BR/><BR/>Sorry you were chilly out there in paradise. Check out Denver.

My thermometer read 22 degrees this morning, and I left home without a coat. ;) Sunny and dry, though.<BR/><BR/>Yes, the crapometer has been educational. I see which hooks work, but a few she's dissed seemed interesting to me, and compelling, but she accused them of rambling. Or they're cliche.<BR/><BR/>It will still be a while for mine, though.
