The Universal Solvent (Book) - 9/9/2001 5:02:17 AM
(Forwarded by author with reviewer's permission.)
"The Universal Solvent takes the reader on a
leap of connected energy to face the imminent possibility of a shortage of
fresh drinkable water: this effect has already begun to be evident.
The plot shifts the reader at a breathtaking pace along the various and
exciting locations with the main participants so real you can actually sense
their presence and character. Fully packed with emotion and intrigue this should be made into a blockbuster film with the rewards that come from hard and investigative work that the author
has invested in. This the best piece of work I've read in the last sixty years."

It gives a clear message concerning a serious environmental problem in a readable and entertaining style , which would be of interest to anyone concerned with water conservation and related issues."

Thnx Beth for this wonderful article, and the links you provide. I have submitted countless poems and stories, only to receive a rejection slip. But then again, most writers have more rejection slips, than acceptance of what we write. I have not given up tho. Writer's Market, is a very good resource to contact editors. I am continuing to trya and get my poems and stories published, because even tho I write and post here, I want others in the mainstream to understand, that I am not living my life by choice, but by decree of Mother Nature. If I can find one magazine, just one mind you, to publish one of my stories, that tells of the life I have to live, from before birth to now, I am so sure, that I can get my message across, and make people think. That is all we ever want as writers. To entertain, aske questions, and make people think and discuss, what they thought they knew, but had no clue. Thnx again Beth, for sharing this with us. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy tot he world, peace on earth, (((((Many HUGS))))), and a very Happy Easter, cause He is risen, Barbie

Now this is exactly what I have been looking for and thanks for posting this. I beat my brains out trying to tell some other wannabe's this same thing on useless-knowledge column. People sell books on writing the things that have come from experience.
Please the Editor, Make a Sale (Article) - 11/22/2004 6:27:07 AM
Enjoyed your article. I work as an editor also, and am frequently (and painfully) surprised at how little care so many writers take in their submissions. There seems to be an expectation that professional editors have little else to do but clean up a sloppy submission. There are enough strong submissions, fortunately, that these quickly find their way back to these unprofessional writers... or into my wastebasket.

What Stories do You Tell? (Article) - 3/2/2004 9:59:54 PM
I'm afraid I must disagree with Ms. Fowler. A story can be enjoyable, even educational, even if the characters have questionable reputations or act in immoral ways. After all, it is only a story. Fiction stories exaggerate and embellish to make the story interesting. If everything was realistic or completely moral, how much fun would that be? Just because a character isn't saintly, doesn't mean the people watching or reading the story will consider their actions to be correct and go out and duplicate them. Stories are to entertain, be thought provoking, or just make you step out of reality for a brief period of time. Let's not make them anything more than they are - entertainment.
Personally, I am a big fan of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but I certainly wouldn't dream of going out and robbing a bank tomorrow. The movie was entertaining and fun, leave it as it is. There is no need to make it any more that what it is. Entertainment.

What Stories do You Tell? (Article) - 6/7/2002 10:30:53 PM
I'm guilty of telling bad stories... and you're right, after telling them I feel worse, not better. It's like an addiction, though-- once I start, I can dig up endless amounts of depressing material.

interesting and informative read but paragraghs could be easier read if they were seperated by a blank line.
Dread the Book Signing Nevermore: Profitable Lessons Learned at the Mall (Article) - 2/28/2002 9:29:09 AM
I'm planning a book signing event so I needed to read this article. Yes, just what I thought. You don't just set up a table and have crowds lined up automaticly. Ten years ago I was the only one who went to Martin Mulls book signing at a San Francisco book store at least in the first 20 minutes. And that was when he was hot. Important article. Thanks.
Seven Writing Myths: May They Rest in Peace (Article) - 11/7/2001 12:40:43 AM
Dear Beth;
May I add, that, in addition to a comprehensive dictionary and thesaurus (the printed ones seem to beat the software ones), a Chicago manual of Style is also an invaluable tool for a writer who aspires to professionalism?

Dread the Book Signing Nevermore: Profitable Lessons Learned at the Mall (Article) - 11/7/2001 12:29:04 AM
Dear Beth;
You forgot one other important point: Don't sell yourself short... if you DO accept a date with a "fan," insist that they buy a CARTON of books (you may give them a discount), not merely one or two copies. If they insist that you autograph EVERY copy in the carton, forget the discount. Rules of author etiquette do NOT require you to carry the carton of books out to their car.

Nine Strategies for Dealing with Irritating Co-Workers (Article) - 11/7/2001 12:16:33 AM
Dear Beth;
Basically, a good piece, but why the specific references to police officers (in points 3, 5, and 6)?

Now That It's Over (Poetry) - 2/14/2007 6:57:43 AM
Lol! Loved the last line! I don't get into love poems as much as I get into "smack you back" love poems, if you get my meaning, which I'm sure you do! Great piece!!
Bamboo (Poetry) - 2/14/2007 6:54:27 AM
Very impressive and a vivid picture it paints. I can hear the bamboo clicking. I Have downloaded your 83 ways to make money writing. I joined the newsletter writing for dollars. You make it sound oh so easy. If only, thats all I'm saying...if only! Great poem!
Bamboo (Poetry) - 3/13/2005 5:37:22 PM

Nicely done...filled with layers of emotion and images.
Now That It's Over (Poetry) - 12/21/2002 6:56:38 AM
not bad poem(s), certainly unusual, but I cant talk, mine are just....well, I dont really know, I just write what I feel, you seem pretty successful at what you do, some day I hope to gain recognition for my poetry, I know I am still young, and I will keep working hard, and maybe one day I will get the regognition I deserve, like you have, but in the meantime, I will keep writing, and come look at my poems some time please and leave a comment, I would be really grateful, thank you

Best of those you've posted.
Good balance.
Reminds me of a country western song I wrote in the mid-1980's: "Did You Know My Heart's Not Breaking"
Let's view some more of your muse-directed rhyme. Well done.
Bamboo (Poetry) - 10/28/2001 8:11:06 PM
Once again different but enjoyable none-the-less...

Certainly you have found something better to do... such as writing this poem. Not that you cared.
