Thanks Risu! I recently heard about the blog hops there and wondered how they worked. Your recommendation helps a lot--this was sort of exactly what I was looking for. I will check it out.

I've been in a holding pattern on stage 7 for a couple years! But it's not too bad. Beta readers were an eye-opener in the best possible way, because they had such constructive responses (I was lucky to find the ones I did). I cycled through stages 1 through 6 fairly quickly--owing perhaps to...

I've always defined fantasy, for myself, as having elements that are admittedly supernatural; inexplicable by the science of the world setting. If you don't call it fantasy, then the reader expects you not to cross that particular line. It's why I will neither call my work fantasy nor a blend of...

Thanks! I will visit SOMEday... Good luck with your studies.

'Kay I've had the blog up awhile ( Gabriella L. Garlock, HistoReWriter ) and still working on a couple of things 1) author bio. Just...Ack. And 2) be consistent -- how can I be consistent till I know what works? But my MAIN problem has to do with the advice: to find followers, like and connect...

About a year ago I promised a fellow blogger to give early morning writing a try. At that point I neither had a set writing schedule nor good place to do it: a year later and that dining room in the new house still isn't painted/functional. No surprise it took me eight months to live up to my...

Thanks for the advice, Beanie!

Where in Croatia, if you don't mind, Ian? My gr-grandparents were from both sides of the Kupa, up by Severin/Lukovdol

OH and Beanie! It took everything I had to resist posting this first. HOW WAS STANLEY IN PERSON? I get chills just thinking....

In fact I'm newer than you! Already I have a question for the newish newbie. How did you go about getting together your IRL writing group? I've put a request in the local (small town, I'm small town, okay?) library suggestion box--a real wooden box WITH A LOCK that probably never gets...

Hey! BeanieZed's post popped up on my WordPress feed, since I follow Mythic Scribes forum, and I thought it was time to come back here and get active. Only to find I was never actually a member. :oops: MEA CULPA. On the road to redemption now, though! I really could use a community in the...
