America's Got Talent: The first 15 minutes of the show

America's Got Talent is one of my favorite shows. Not just for the great acts, but for the groaners, too. You know the ones I mean—the ones shown in the first fifteen minutes. They're always the ones who brag about how great they are, how everyone says they're tremendously talented. And then they demonstrate they have no business being in a talent show.

As a writer, I hope that when I send out my work I'm not going to end up in the first fifteen minutes of the show.

1. Which is why the world has editors. *grin* (Okay, before you go into apoplectic shock, there needs to be a certain amount of craft advancement before an editor is called in.)

2. At some point, you have to suck it up and become vulnerable.

True, Peg. The craft thing is so important. No matter how much I learn, there's always more to learn. :-)

Hi, Hawk. Thanks for dropping by. I'm praying the same thing—for both of us. ;-)

My daughter-in-law tried out for AGT in Seattle. Didn't make the cut but what an experience!
