My husband is a purple belt in BJJ and I practice Krav Maga. I have dabbed in BJJ but everyone is 100 lbs heavier than me and I much rather be on my feet even if I got someone in my guard but I do love BJJ as well.

Great Article by Kristen Lamb on writing tighter prose. “We are book-readers not mind-readers.” Love this.

It really is true: the more you write, the better it gets. Some tips have become second nature now and I enjoy the writing process even more. Some I work on everyday. When I edit my own writing, I think of sentences as frills on a fussy looking ball gown. Rip off all those extra frills and what you have left is an elegant and exciting gown, sure to make your date or audience (editor, agent, publisher) drool. Great article and I learned alot during the Antagonist web class on 4/18. I’ve looked up several “log lines” of movies like my book and it helped. Thank you.
