Photograph by streetbonersandtvcarnage.com Here's an image to spur on those awful memories in your head, you know the ones... someone you thought you could count on throws you under the bus... Hell, for me that's easy! I attended my personal stoning last night. Nothing like a 'kind-spirited' community of writers to inspire you to burn every last word on every last page you've ever dared to waste ink on. Oh, and the icing on the cake: I said thank you! Yes, thank you for letting me know that I have great ideas, but can't write anything worth shit!! Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Contest: Once you've written down your version of the cruel-hearted bastards who threw you under the bus, you might want to try your luck in: The Writer's Digest 11th Annual Short Short Story Competition ( in 1,500 words or fewer). But don't be too long about it—the deadline is Thursday, December 1, 2010 First Place: $3,000 and a trip to the Writer's Digest Conference in New York City Second Place: $1,500 Third Place: $500 Fourth Through Tenth Place: $100 See http://www.writersdigest.com/short for more details.

Massive sticky notes of apologies. We were overzealous and enthusiastic with our critiques - but it's because we like your novel! :) Hope you come back

I wish you could have heard the positive comments, and there were many, before the ones that left you feeling naked. In the critique, what I heard was that the passion you put in your writing was met by the passion of the feedback -- statements of excitement at what you had created and urgency about what what didn't seem to be working. You put the same passion into your blog.
