Novelists (Struggling or Not)
Novelists - published or not - chatting about beginnings, muddy middles, dang endings, what to do with it all. Please don't shout (all caps, big images) or post links on the main wall except as part of the conversation. Please do include modestly sized covers in "Our Published Novels"! See More
CJ Rice commented on the blog post 'Unpublished Writers: Just a Few Days Left and It’s Only Offered Every Two Years!'
"Sadly, I have the book but not enough publishing experience to qualify for submission."
CJ Rice commented on the blog post 'How Long Should a Book Take to Write? (On a Writer's Natural Rhythms and Pace)'
"My first novel took at least ten years not counting incubation time. Truly my whole life until the moment I externalized the story--autobiographical as so many first fictions are. The time it takes depends so much on what is cooking. It really does."

"I write to out the alien in me, in you, in everyone."
CJ Rice liked Sarah Pinneo's blog post Author Jenna Blum tells Blurb is a Verb: How Book Clubs Saved My Life
CJ Rice commented on the blog post 'Author Jenna Blum tells Blurb is a Verb: How Book Clubs Saved My Life'
"That's a fantastic can-do story and one for a writer to learn from. I'm a librarian, the quiet type, still I can imgine talking with book clubs about my novel and loving every minute of it."
CJ Rice left a comment for Laura
"Lauren, welcome to She Writes. Thanks for the extended virtual hand of friendship."
CJ Rice commented on the blog post 'Inspiration: Alice Walker'
"To have done it--that is a success. Alice Walker's words are a gift to me today."
CJ Rice replied to the discussion 'She Writes Title Workshop'
"Not a memoir. Portrait of the artist as a young girl. Strong voice is a long prose necessity no matter the POV. As least for this reader. So I find the thematic trust and give that voice center stage."

Meg Waite Clayton said… CJ,
With apologies for being tardy with my welcome, we're delighted to have you in the novelist group!
You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. We save the wall for discussion, so please refrain from linking to blog posts there, but do add them in the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread.
And we do a live chat every Wednesday at 1EST; instructions on how to participate if you haven't done so already are in the "Our Water Cooler Wednesdays" box near the top of the group page.
