What I Still Don't Know About Being a Writer, Even After 2009
After spending time searching for a publisher or agent, I often come away from the computer more confused than enlightened. I'm new to the world of publishing, you see, and I'm educated in Psychology and Counseling, not English Lit. I feel like there is a secret lingo that I'm not privy to.

Jane Denning replied to the discussion 'Hello' in the group Virtual Critique Group

I saw that you're writing about Huntington's Disease. My grandmother was diagnosed with Huntington's four years ago, and my aunt was just diagnosed last month. I think it's great that you're writing about it because it will create so much awareness.
