Hi! I'm glad to be here! I honestly didn't think I would get accepted into 'She Writes' because I don't have a bunch of professional credentials behind my name. So I was pleasantly surprised when I…Continue

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the people on this site! I joined Absolute Write around the same time as She Writes and I HATE it. The people on there are so rude and I'm just sick of…Continue

Another New Novelist...

Started by Anne Belle. Last reply by Anne Belle Jun 6. 8 Replies

Fellow authors, I know that we are a dime a dozen. However, we all have to start somewhere. This is my way of jumping into the foray and seeing what happens. I'm a novelist. In fact, I write suspense…Continue

Hi All!I am sure this is common. I'm feeling spread too thin. My first novel was released in April. Pre-sales were great, but now it's lagging. I'm feeling torn between committing time to promote the…Continue

I love that, Cara! Thank you so much for the encouraging words!! I'm beginning to look forward to it. :)

Tonya, what makes you think the type of person that can do this is that you are, indeed, actually doing it. Showing up is half the battle. You go, girl!

Comment by Tonya Rice on May 28, 2012 at 7:03am

Thanks bunches, Danielle!! I do wonder how I'll fare in this move. It was an out-of-body experience when I signed up! LOL! We writers just have to do what we do. I'll keep us posted.

@Tonya, never nuts. Brave ♥  The best writing comes out of that kind of bravery I think. :)

Comment by Tonya Rice on May 28, 2012 at 6:44am

I am still in the middle of my rewrite on my first novel and for the life of me, I'm still trying to figure out just what makes me think I can do this JuNoWriMo that starts Friday!!! I'm anxious to clear out some of the roadmaps that are forming with this other story in my head, but I also now think I'm nuts to make such a commitment!!!

Wed are good for me, although I know I won't be able to make it by 10PST most weeks. Maybe I could join late sometimes.

Comment by Lynne Favreau on May 25, 2012 at 6:22am

Wednesday works for me.

Comment by Kaitlin Solimine on May 24, 2012 at 8:48pm

Wednesdays work for me! Thanks for organizing, Meg!

Comment by Kate Defrise on May 24, 2012 at 7:16pm

I think Wednesdays work better for me as well. It's been ages since I've been able to join a chat.

Comment by Katheryn Gallant on May 24, 2012 at 6:34pm

Not good for me -- 1 PM EST is 10 AM PST (I live in California), and I am often busy at the nursing home at that hour. 4 or 5 PM EST on Wednesdays would be better for me.
