Kristory Keeping the Writing Group Funct

I while back I wrote that my writing group may have gone defunct. Whether that group is dismantled or not one member of it, almost award winning author Kristi Jones, a faithful reader of this blog, is refusing to go down without a fight.

Kristi, author of The Corpse Goddess, which I read and reviewed a while back, was up for an award by Evernight Publishing for her work. Did you read it? I did. Like it? I did. Vote for it? I did.

Nevertheless, she's persevering and actually being a catalyst in my writing life. There is a "word war" tonight that I've been invited to, and I'm bound to win if only due to my natural bellicosity. A former Airborne Ranger losing to a writer of urban fantasy/romance/zombie stories? I think not. Never been in a word war, looking forward to it if only cause it appears to be an avenue toward getting my three short stories going.

Secondly, writing nights are about to begin. Although I loved the critique group, after blogging about Russell Blake writing style yesterday perhaps what our hero needs is a dose of hard core prolificness. So I welcome the writing night and intend to destroy that too.

So, Huzzah to Kristi for keeping the writing/critique group on life support (and if you're looking for a great book, go try The Corpse Goddess, or check out her blog).
