Because a writer is only as good as the next book, I have compiled & am editing the followup to Giddy and Euphoric. It's currently titled My Barbaric Yawp: More Essays on Writing and Reading. Expect a surprise writer for the introduction.

Saddened to hear of the death of the great Dame Patricia Routledge. Thank you for the laughs and great characters. Keep answering that slimline phone, Hyacinth Bucket (Bouquet).

Just sent a note to the folks who do James Rubel's estate, asking what it would take to obtain permission to write a new adventure featuring his female detective, Eli Donovan, who appeared in only 1 book, 1 of my favorite mystery novels, No Business for a Lady. #amwriting #writingcommunity #hopeful

"Surprising, right? Most people just assume that I've written novels with 35 years of professional writing behind me, but no, my career has primarily been in short stories with a few novelettes and even fewer novellas."

A little more than 65k words, folks, and that is a novel in the can. Well, the first draft anyway. You'd believe the pride and excitement I feel right now. I made a goal to finish the novel in the 8 weeks of summer, and I did it. Viva la me!

Haven't heard of this trend. Is this on your radar, fellow writers? Seems counterproductive to me.
helenlane.bsky.social Helen Lane @helenlane.bsky.social · Jul 22
I am a little confused by the new trend in query letters where people write pages about themselves and their motivations for writing and don't even mention the title of their book let alone a blurb.

Agents love writers but until we offer it's all about the book. Please focus on that in your letter.
