He says if you suspect a problem with your manuscript then your reader will...you're not ready to query. How many times do you grumble to yourself when you thought your critique partner might not notice that teensy-weensy problem but they did? Doh! He gives great examples of that exact scenario.

A Poem of Novels
TH Mafi has wowed me again, which she does quite often. She is an amazing spirit and happy soul. Go check her artwork. (Tiny sample here.)

Best Tweets for Writers (Week Ending 11/12/10)
Jane Freidman is a formal publisher and editorial director of Writer's Digest. She captures a weeks worth of valuable tweets that writers should read. (Hence where I got my first link.) There are lots of links for every writer in every stage.

Di! We had a blast. Love the sledding.

Elizabeth - So glad you stopped by and decided to follow. Yes Diana and I try to stir up a fuss when we can, (psst, she's more of the trouble maker of the duo ;)
