This doesn't really help with the conversation, but I just really love this idea. Cool!

People watch. That's one of the best things an author can do. People watch, and read like crazy.

Or maybe you're meant to stalk me... and I to stalk you. We can be best friends or worst enemies...

Definitely!

I completely understand on this one. My co-author and I are working on an epic trilogy. Book 1 is stewing between second draft and polishing, Book 2 is ready to be written when I have a free spot in my workload, and Book 3 is ready for detailed outline.

Just out of curiosity, how many projects do you guys ACTIVELY work on at once? I usually try to have 3 going: one that I'm just starting to develop and outline, one that I'm actively writing, and one I'm editing. And then on weekends I step away from my main projects and do short stories or...

My problem is that I latch onto one author and then read a lot of their books, so I don't get to anyone new for some time after. I am learning to remedy that, however! I just need more...

Hi, everyone! I'm A.F., and I've been writing for about 17 years, but only in the last few have I gotten serious about it. I've self-published two short novels: Empeddigo and Mere Acquaintances, and I've also put out an epic poem called The Trials of Hallac. I write a lot of fantasy, sci-fi...
