I'm working on my book this weekend.
I'm going to point you toward a couple of excellent blog posts by blogger friends:
Cat Woods at Words From the Woods: On a BlogRoll: do you have what it takes?
I answered all of Cat's questions and reached the conclusion I should never have started a blog. However, now that I'm here, I'll probably hang out for a while. I will be taking some weekends off to write more, and I will have more guest bloggers, but I'm enjoying this blogging community so much I'd hate to give up.
Beth Groundwater's blog: Cover Art for Deadly Currents!
Take a look at the cover for Beth's first book in her new Rocky Mountain Outdoor Adventures series. Her release date is March 1, 2011.
Poe's Deadly Daughters: The Zen and the Art of Ice Cream
A delightful guest post from Wendy Lyn Watson and Mary Jane Maffini.
Chuck Sambuchino's Guide to Literary Agents Editor's Blog: How to Start Your Mystery Novel
There's more in this helpful post about beginnings, including first sentences.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Write lots of words ... Oh, I think you're revising. Lots of pertinent words.
I haven't looked at the link yet, do I have what it takes to do a blog? but I'd probably not do well on the "test" either! Don't ever give this up. I'd miss you.
I hope you have a productive weekend with your book!!!
Thanks as always Patricia,
Have a wonderful "Working" week-end.
Yvonne.
Great links--and good luck on your book work this weekend!

Thanks for the links :) Enjoy the weekend.
I found them all quite interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Hi, happy writing!
Well, you certainly caught my attention with your declaration about " . . . I should never have started a blog." I can't wait to scoot over there and see if I should have! Thanks for these links - and good luck with your writing!
Pat,
Happy writing! I so understand what you're feeling. Writing comes first!
Thanks, Pat, for the mention, and I hope you make a lot of of progress on your book this weekend!

Thanks for pointing us to those helpful blogs. Hope you had a good weekend of writing.
Thanks for those great links. I will definitely check them out :)
Also, I finally passed your Creative Writer award on in case you're interested. You had me worrying I wouldn't be able to come up with anything interesting for a while there ;) Thanks again for giving me that award!
Hope you had a great and productive weekend! :)
Hi Patricia,
That was a tough test, I hope my blogger friends don't take it or I will end up by myself :-))
By the way, my story about the Jamaican girl who has your signed copy of "The Prairie Grass Murder" is posted!
Also, I meant to tell you that I enjoyed the novel big time. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. I liked the characters a lot, of course Syl my favorite, and Tak my next... I guess I can relate to her...hehehe
