    I've laid some yellow bricks down in the process of my current writing project. You can now find some of the less obvious ways of working with plot and first draft on my blog - <a href="http://blog.marcusspeh.com/?p=4670">see here</a>. Enjoy — and let me know if any of these work for you! Off to good old Paris for a few days! Cheers from Berlin!

    Excellent, Marcus. Yes. I like all seven. And that works for me perfectly since there are only 7 stories that can be told.

    7. Get away from your self —and don’t bring a lap top!

    the above is the most sane piece of advice--!!!

    Are they still out there??
    I've had a few over the years.
    Now when they hear I've got Lit fiction for them to look at, they head for the hills...
    I'm thinking of changing my name to Susan Sarah Palin Tepper, secret twin of Sarah Pahlin: tell all book.
    That will get me an agent fast.

    M, you are absolutely correct in sending me straight to Madame Tishka. I notice she has some words of wisdom for you on the subject of literary agents...
