So taking deep breaths and then sending it out for critique is the first of the many things writers do while grabbing our self-protective shields and readying for the onslaught.

We have just finalized the details and if you are in the area, I hope to see you on Friday, November 2nd from 3pm to 5pm.

As always, thanks for checking out About Lin Wilder!
