You better watch your back, Randy---I think Sam is planning to take over your column. "Roto Rootering the Rigors of Riting" may soon replace "Randy Rooney." Sam makes some very good points.

Something doesn't add up here. OTOH, a publisher took my YA novel last week, so maybe I will be able to afford Sam one day. A writer with $500 in his pocket? Something doesn’t add up here.

Also, you're getting at something really serious here. Yes, God does continue to speak into the world. But sometimes we say God told us to do this or that--because it just sounds better. After all, if you think I should change course, you're now question God, not me! I wonder if Sam accepts monopoly money faxes as well.

I'm interested in fiction planning, especially as it pertains to the implementation stage before the snowflake method. I believe that this is a topic that most people think about frequently, and I would love to hear how you approach this stage of the writing process, espceially because it is difficult to find quality discussion regarding the topic. Thanks. Hi, this may be an inappropriate place to write this comment, but I wanted to ensure that it was read by everyone.

Your sense of humor is great and there are always some nuggets of truth to be found. That bit about only one person can be first, second, third, etc. is something we all need to be reminded of from time to time. Hi Randy,

Sam showed how not to expect Jesus to be our publicist. In fact, we're supposed to be his. Isn't that why some of us write? Your article was a great reminder. Thanks. Loved the article, too.
