Back from vacation

So, I take a week or so off from work, writing, the Net, and return to find things sadly changed in blogland. Miss Snark has signed off. I read her good-bye posts after she'd disabled commenting on the blog so I couldn't say a proper thank-you for all she's done for the world of wannabe writers. I'm not yet at the query stage, though I'm about to start revisions on my first project, but I've learned an immeasurable amount about the publishing industry, the query process, etc. that I will undoubtedly carry with me as I draft my first query letters.

She's done a great service to a huge number of people. She's given a generation's worth of author-hopefuls the tools we need to stand out from the crowd of nitwits around us. I'm sure she'll never read this but it's my thank-you to her for the time she invested in helping out the little people ;) Tis sad, but I wish her well.
