could say and think what they want and because I believe that I have no hard

because it is a gold I set for myself and I want to be able to look at myself

and

say I did it. I am not written the boo to make anyone look bad, I am writting

it because I want to. nothing more, nothing less.

Like , I try not to be a Grammar Nasty, but I'd feel better about your

chances of ever selling an article, much less a book, if you demonstrated a

better grasp of spelling, grammar and capitalization in your emails.

There are several packages that allow you to post to Yahoo after putting

your missives through a spelling/grammar checker....and some good packages for

M$ and Open Offices as well as M$ Works that provide custom dictionaries as

well as flexible grammar checking. You might want to invest in them.

In addition, there are a number of websites that accept novice writers and

give them professional advice. Since one of the other suggestions on this list

was to try writing for the SciFic/SciFan market, _www.baen.com_

(http://www.baen.com) has a number of 'slush' fora, including one for the

'Ring of Fire'

series. In particular, the Grantville Gazette is now a bimonthly e zine, and

is paying some of the highest per word rates around.

And I am reasonably sure that they'd be happy to accept more 'EMT' type

stories, as long as you can manage to stay in the guidelines.

and where did you do your Boot Camp?

There is also an emerging trend to take fiction stories and meld them with

curriculum. " Code Blue " is an bio-ethics text that does this. It takes a

murder mystery and melds it with bio-ethics. Good to teach from - sounded odd

to me at first until I read it. You might look at something like this.....
