Good old Nathan sure does have a way of boiling it all down. I frequent his blog as well, although I don’t post very often. Thanks for the comments on my blog about the Konrath book.
He does indeed.
You’re welcome for the Konrath comments. I know you’ll like Evanovitch’s stuff better.
Hey, when I click on the second link I get smouldering guy again!
Whoa! Sorry Lexi!
I know you like the guy but I have no idea how he got into this post. I use Scribefire on Mozilla’s Firefox but I suspect it’s simply operator error.
I’ve spot checked the links on the posts on either side of this one and they’re good.
I’ve fixed the links so that they go to Nathan Bransford’s blog and not to “The Passionate Pen’s” blog.
Thanks for the link. I enjoyed the plot post.
