To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement. To condense the diffused light of a page of thought into the luminous flash of a single sentence, is worthy to rank as a prize composition just by itself... Anybody can have ideas, the difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of paper on an idea that ought to be reduced to one glittering paragraph. -- Mark Twain

The Conference
I'm off to the Missouri Writers' Guild conference, where I'll be meeting up with my agent Ann and doing a breakout session on the "Agent/Author Relationship" on Saturday morning. I'm taking along Olen Steinhauer's The Bridge of Sighs to read during down time. I'll let you know how things went after the weekend.
