She's a phenomenal critiquer and editor, one of the best in the industry. Do everything she says, and your story will go very, very far - as well as the rest of your writing. :D

No flailing is necessary. :D Kelly is extraordinarily gentle, and very clear and concise in her crits. Save the flailing for if you ever get stuck in an elevator with Harlan Ellison. Heh.

I love her fiction. And several people have told me that she's an incredible critiquer too. So. *flail*

She's awesome. She taught at Clarion West when I was there.

I want to know why no one's told me who's in my crit group! Oh well, I'm sure I'll find out soon enough.

Hmm, that's odd, because Kelly was copied into the email yesterday/today where the manuscripts were sent out to our group. Perhaps Nora's not finished mailing them all.

Awesome! I was in her group last year, and in just a couple of hours I learned so much.

I remember you mentioning to me how awesome you'd found being in her group, which is why I requested her as my pro. =)

Masterfade

You took my hand and led me down to watch a papillon parade, and
we let the kittens lick our hair and drink our chalky lemonade.
You squeezed my hand and told me softly that I shouldn't be afraid
'cause all the while your finger's resting gently on the masterfade,
the masterfade.
