Car Crashes and Sub-Genres

Fun stuff to do while I'm gone:

Readers here know I've never been fond of labels, especially for my own writing. I write the story, then try to figure out where it fits in the sub-genres of commercial fiction. I ran across this "system" during a recent jaunt through the blogosphere, and just had to share. First, check out any vehicle accidents in your book. Don't have any? Take a minute to sketch one out, and then check this post.

I want to thank two of my faithful readers, Carole Kilgore and Maryann Miller for bestowing upon me the Honest Scrap and Kreativ Blogger awards. I'm flattered, because I try very hard to make sure this isn't merely a place where authors promote themselves or their books. Of course, being the blogmeister here, I do get to bend the rules when I have my own personal news to share, but overall, I try to keep Terry's Place a site where you'll find something different--and, I hope, of interest. And if one day's post doesn't excite you, maybe the next day's will. I know there are strings attached to accepting these awards, but until I have better Internet access, I'm not going to be able to comply with all the links, etc.
