So you want to write an novel...

This Youtube video by David Kazzie says it all.

Thanks to Kristen Lamb for pointing me to this one in her "Five Mistakes KILLING self-published Authors" column. I think she overemphasizes social media a bit, but otherwise her columns are usually right on.

SF Canada Bookstore

Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy for 2013 (also links 2012 if missed last year's) http://astore.amazon.ca/sfca-20 If you know SF/F readers, give Canadian for Xmas!" I have to say, that's a nice looking collection of books. Considering that back in the 1970s, when I was first starting to think that there might be Canadian SF authors, I could only identify about two dozen books...that's not a bad annual output! Does a Canadian proud.
