 Getting Down To Business October 09, 2009 : 12:20 PM MST |
| | P.O. Box 324 Arco Idaho |
| I have been writing off and on for so many years. Now my life has taken a turn and it is time to get serious. My mental health precludes me from holding more and a token job. My disability money goes for rent, DSL internet, ... more |

| | Maria Rachel Hooley Oklahoma |
| I'm heading into the weekend with grading from my regular job, a poetry reading Saturday night, and three manuscripts that need final edits not to mention reading, reading, reading on Authonomy.com (thanks, Tim!). Still, life is good.& ... more |
Alex October 08, 2009 : 09:13 PM PST |
| | dianne hartsock pacific northwest |
| Hi,
Just got my PDF file of 'Alex' from Wolf-Pirate Publishing to go over. It's fun to read the story in book form. This is still from the 'Workshop Workbook' offered at their websight that I've been involved with for the past year. My edit ... more |
So What Do You Expect? October 08, 2009 : 12:06 PM CST |
| | Maria Rachel Hooley Oklahoma |
| I'm not really a picky reader in one sense. I've been known to read food labels if I'm there and the box is there. Suffice to say, I am addicted to reading. The tricky part is to make my fall in love with a book ... more |
Overwhelmed in Oklahoma October 07, 2009 : 08:29 PM CST |
| | janice Tulsa, Ok |
| Well the day has finally arrived... the markups from the editor have arrived and as I glanced over it I had to wonder if it's just me or does everyone have that many corrections to make on their manuscript. At the risk of sounding like a mor ... more |
The Book I Wish I'd Written October 07, 2009 : 12:15 PM CST |
| | Maria Rachel Hooley Oklahoma |
| Everyone has one book that changed his or her life. For me, there are many, but one of them alone stands out, and considering that in college, I was an English major and even to this day, I love reading, it's pretty amazing that one no ... more |
Self-Introduction a la Online College October 06, 2009 : 08:50 PM PST |
| | R.C. Tehachapi, California |
| I hate beginning with a cliche, but I can think of no other way to do this, so: Hi! My name's Rachele. I'm in college, and I've been writing for the greater portion of my life, which honestly, given its relative brevity, seems quite pathetic ... more |
The Coachman Chapter Three October 06, 2009 : 03:01 PM CST |
| | RBPierce Angleton |
|
This particular chapter has probably seen more changes made to it in the five years since I first wrote it than any other. Originally, it came at the end of chapter 2, but someone pointed out to me that, as I had it, the chapter was twenty ... more |

Like the Reese Cup commercials from the 1970s where children accidentally get their chocolate and peanut butter mashed together, my two greatest passions--graphic design and backyard photography--have mutated into an unique children's book ... more |
What Are You Watching? October 04, 2009 : 05:39 AM CST |
| | Maria Rachel Hooley Oklahoma |
| One of the things that helps inspire me to create characters is a television show or a movie that has incredible characters. Right about now I'm stuck on Dexter. I have to say when I heard the premise of the show, I really wasn't ... more |
Research, Research, Research October 03, 2009 : 02:22 PM CST |
| | Maria Rachel Hooley Oklahoma |
| Okay, I'm about 95 pages into my sci fi novel, and now I've hit that wonderful spot that requires research. I'm not really so fond of reasearch, but it's my own fault. The concept snagged me and I don't know as much as I ne ... more |

| | K. Edwin Fritz Allentown, PA |
| I know that some of you are teachers like myself, but I'm sure this blog will relate to many authors who hold alternate professions (paying jobs).
Simply put, every September when my new crop of students arrive, my writing life comes to a s ... more |

Kindleboards.com Rocks! October 01, 2009 : 09:25 PM CST |
| | Maria Rachel Hooley Oklahoma |
| I can't lie. I've had a blast self-publishing the novels, especially for the Kindles, and this forum is one of the big reasons why. There are so many wonderfully unselfish authors over there who really do understand that indie au ... more |
Traveling unknown paths October 01, 2009 : 02:55 PM CST |
| | In_Love_With_Your_Mind Tennessee |
| Traditionally, I enjoy writing about romance. Will never wonder too far from that genre, but kind of leaning toward adding some paranormal sub-genres to my stories. Why? Please don't laugh, but I just finished reading the Twilight series and ... more |

| | Maria Rachel Hooley Oklahoma |
| As someone to likes to write in different genres, I often try to figure out what changes from project to project. The first thing I notice is usuallly the 'voice' I'm using, and it shifts a lot. Put it this way, when I was workin ... more |

| | LAQUANN New York |

I am working on my second book; however, I keep thinking about my first, "Mad Passion." How I can make it better. I find that I am a perfectionist. I was even thinking about doing it over and making a couple of changes in it ... more |
