Thanks, I'm not worried about it. I just don't plan to repeat my mistake. I'll find another way.

Thanks both of you. I've been writing for a long time. Two of my agents died. When the last one died recently I decided to publish my work digitally, and found a way to do that that didn't cost anything. I'm also an artist, so I am designing my own cover art. In this case, my friend who was...

I joined a forum with peers that are of my age group. I figured I'd get to know them a little before I published my book and when it was ready, let them know about it. In a political year a lot of unkind words were being exchanged. I made a few "friends" with my posts, found those of like...

Thanks, Richard. I went in to Facebook today and tried to sign in. Usually when I do this, I can't sign in, but I can see part of my page. This time it told me my FB page has been disabled. What the.....? I have no idea how that happened either. How much did you pay for someone to make a...

There's that statement about he who knows: He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool; avoid him. He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a student; teach him. He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep; wake him. He who knows and knows that he...

Welcome. Novels are such a cool way to spend one's time fantasizing, don't you think? I've been able to resolve all kinds of things this way.

Welcome. Yes, getting one's fancy tickled can be great fun. :)

Welcome. Good luck with the NaNoWriMo. I had a friend who did that. And it certainly forced her to finish a book. Problem was she thought what she wrote was gold, so she published it herself. It might have been okay, but she did not do the necessary rewrites to make it so. She wanted my...

Welcome. Is Twitter worth it? It seems like a vast waste of time to me.

Like minded is a relative term. My regular relatives have no inkling what being creative is about. This place is refreshing because the opposite is true.

Welcome, Daniel. Four novels by the age of 21 certainly had me beat. I didn't start writing my first book until I was 32. What is the flavor of your novels? I've been a member for a while, but haven't posted much for some time. That changes as of today. Even though I write light fantasy...

So you are an artist as well as an author. I am as well. For the redo of my first book, which the publisher gutted, I painted my own artwork. My current avatar is of me painting that cover. This time around I published it through Smashwords. I'm still trying to figure out how to find my...

Thanks to all of you. I'll check them all out. :)

In all the books I've written so far, I've been working through the "ain't-it-awfuls" of my life. It's made for good inspiration and conflict, but.... Today I realized I'm tired of doing that, bored with it actually. I want to laugh. I want to entertain myself, all the while dealing with my...

When I kill off the main character, they are still part of the story, only now they don't have a physical body. I remember reading Thornbirds years ago. She killed off the love interest of the main character and the story devolved from there. I refused to read Colleen McCullough again. My...
