One of the key differences is the basic theory of human interaction—the social good versus the individual good.

Afraid of My Own Work

I was talking with my writer friend Chase Webster the number of drafts he has done for his upcoming book Eat ‘Em. (I highly recommend it when he finally finishes it. From the rough drafts, it promises to be an outstanding.) His theory is that your second draft should be half as long as your rough draft. I objected that if I cut that much I would be left with little more than a short story.

He looked at mean and said, “You’re afraid to cut. Aren’t you?”

I responded reflexively, “No I’m not!” I showed him.

Update on Blog

I have discovered that I actually can still use my Wordpress without having to post and repost. While I cannot link it to my Wix page, I can have these posts automatically copied to my Wordpress by email. So, for my 200+ followers on Wordpress, keep on following. My first official post will go out tomorrow. This is as much a test as anything.

Come visit my new website OrenHammerquist.com

A New Era

Since I recently bought OrenHammerquist.com, I felt it was time to put MY blog on MY page. Unfortunately, so far, that requires that I abandon my beloved Wordpress. Wordpress charges $13/month to let you use their blog as a subdomain. BlogSpot costs nothing, and I am able to integrate it easily into my page. Look for my first post in this new blog on the 20th of November.
