Stephanie McGregor's first public blog: Could make history, though not likely

This is my first blog post *cheering from the waiters in the wings*, and I am devoting it entirely to all of you who are writing daily, attending conferences, following every agent/publisher on twitter, revising like a revising thing, and watching with held breath as, one by one, all your friends get amazing book deals and your turn never seems to come.

Wait... surely, I'm not the only one? Am I?

I will be posting here with loads of encouraging, cool tips, writers market info, the low down on conferences and events I attend, humorous antidotes... maybe, links you must click on, a book review here and there, and the occasional tidbit of gossip on said friends and how life after publication is harder than it looks (Yeah, right, they all say it don't they? It's like when skinny people tell you how hard it is for them to gain weight - you just want to toss the back of your hand to your forehead, wither, and say 'Oh, my poor dear, how ever do you manage with this vulgar curse you are afflicted by?').

See you soon, slushers.
