Do you have another blog? Care to shoot me a link? I'd love to read your post on critique groups and maybe even cite it in my future post. As for knowing who you might be, my legions of adoring fans alerted me (actually I read your posts over at SFReader ;) ). James,

I wasn't aware you knew who I might be. It took me a while - and a minor scuffle with another author - to be baptized into the world of writing.com's non-exclusive rights. I, too, started there as a beginner and as my writing got better, more stories fell out of my portfolio. Now, I have very few stories there - and they're all kind of "works-in-progress" so when I finish them, they come off the site. The last thing I want to do now is tarnish my chances of publishing a story because I wanted a review of it. I wrote a post, too, about finding a workshop in your area. You should read it :) Thanks for the advert. I wasn’t aware you knew who I might be.
