Since I'm no longer taking classes I wasn't
going to post but rather just sit back and enjoy reading about everyone else,
but Kent Graham has so firmly twisted my arm behind my back that I can't use the
keyboard. Accordingly, I have relented.
I am Vicky Woodward and am only slightly beyond the
aspiring writer stage. I have signed two contracts since being in the PW
program at OU, one a novel deal with McGraw-Hill that I got because of nepotism
(Hey, where would George W. be without it?), and the other a short story I sold
to Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine due to meeting the editor at the Short
Course a few years ago. (And to some good writing, I like to
think.)
I'm working on several non-fiction books with my
husband and I have a YA fantasy-sci-fi series I'm about to unleash. I also
have a few mysteries and a couple of main streams on my hard drive. I've
also just started doing a cartoon strip for an Oklahoma City business
newspaper. The cartoon is entitled The Enlightened Bimbo.
I recently finished reading a Tom Robbins
novel, Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas, that I thoroughly enjoyed. It's
written in second person present tense. I like anything written well, I
enjoy talking about punctuation and grammar, and I don't mind splitting
infinitives.
As the man in the yellow hat would put it, 'Nuff
said.
In a little bit,
Vicky
