Two good posts for writers

Tess Gerritsen on the difficult but necessary apprenticeship writers face: http://tessgerritsen.com/blog/2006/11/25/writers-and-desperation/

An unusually brief J. A. Konrath post on motivation for writers - he says it best by using very few words (ah, but they're the right words): http://jakonrath.blogspot.com/2006/11/your-daily-motivational.html

Also I've ditched A SEASON OF ELSE or whatever the hell that title was. The problem is that this is no longer Pere's story; it's Demeter's.

Although that might point to a problem with the arc. I think the story actually is Pere's; so the title might be PERSEPHONE'S CHOICE. I thought that was so brill when I came up with it, and now I'm all, laaaaaame.
