What an honor! As Foreigner sings, "It feels like the first time." Oh wait...it is the first time. Many thanks for giving me the opportunity to say that I am no longer an "Editors' picks" virgin.

I would like to put forward John Spivey's wonderful first installment of "On Writers and Self-Publishing" for my pick Feb.1-Feb.7. Unlike my comment which wandered all over the place, he captures the problems faced by new (and establishe authors) in trying to get their work out to the public. Self publishing usually involves the choice of stopping writing and becoming a full time marketer, or don't market and nobody reads your book. Well written and nicely presented without the whining I usally include with such statements. gypsyman

Well, after giving some time and consideration to the grave yet giddy task at hand, I'm going to have to praise and adore Sniff...Our Little Internet Is Growing Up by Murphy Horner. Nice little piece about the profound growth of BC and that irritating quality editors have. Until you begin dating your editor. Then they get more annoying by tenfold... At any rate, a great heartfelt post, fun for the whole family says Ebert and Roper...

Eric - For my nomination I would like to choose Brokeback Mountain Blues A review of Brokeback Mountain that shows one man's struggle with the conflict between his Chrisianity and his Homosexuality. More of a raw and tragic snapshot of his own self image than a movie review.

Cool, man, thanks for the nod! For a nomination for myself, I was really impressed with Robert Lashley's review of John Updike's "Rabbit at Rest" that I read earlier this week - Great stuff!

Really I swear I don't pay them to pick me, see it's different people this week...Thank you Joan and Diana, ego boosts are never unwelcome, and coming from the editors who have to read my writing in the raw, these are truely compliments. gypsyman

I had wanted to list Here's Gawking at You, Kid by Jumper Bailey also since I got picked last week. I thought you posted this Friday (tomorrow) so hope it's not too late to note. Thanks!
