Writing without correcting

I haven't done last episode's exercise yet, but I will soon. I'm in a bit of a rough spot where the words aren't coming. I talk about determining whether writing reticence is due to the generic "I don't feel like writing" spot, or whether it's because something needs to be fixed in your story before you can move forward.

Dear Editor

Listener Jessi wrote in and asked me about writing cover letters. I gathered advice from two seasoned pros:
Treva Harte, Editor in Chief - Loose Id
Margaret Reilly, Publisher - Changeling Press

Margaret and Treva post a blog that's full of e-publishing tips at treva2007.livejournal.com/

Your Assignment

Do some market research and find a publisher that really fits with your story, and articulate specifically why. If you don't have a story you're ready to submit, pretend you do. See which publishers appeal to you; you'll have something to aim for when your piece is polished up and ready to send!
