"Linda,
My four readers do not live near me either, well, one does. The other three get my pages in emails, and then they either email questions back or text me! It's quite easy. It would be lovely to be able to sit around my coffee table, with…"

"OK Ladies,
In the interest of not hijacking this topic, I just started a new one in the general section. It's intended to be a spot where people can go to post their interest in either finding alpha readers or becoming one. My hope…"

"I'm gathering from this thread that a lot of people don't know quite where to go to find "alpha readers". As in, the first person to read your book. That's it, I'm motivated. I'm doing a bit of…"

"So, what does one do when one doesn't have any readers? This is my problem. The writers I know don't live in the city where I live (Atlanta), and it seems that in this day and age that wouldn't matter, however I find it sort of…"

"I understand. After 6 years of blogging, I've come to think of blogging like friends. Depending on where you are in your life, you are closer to some than others. As life changes, close friends can meander out to the periphery while others come…"

Meg Waite Clayton said… I just opened the door to the novelist group for you - welcome! 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. And we do a live chat every Wednesday; hope you can join us for that!

Isabelle Gregson said… - Hi Jen, thank you so much for your note. It's always nice to discover that someone is actually reading this stuff! (I'm sorry my blog won't let you comment - will have a word.) I've had such a nice response I think I may write more about it - with all the other types between the two extremes of Diamonds and Butterfly wings. If you'll let me play fairy god mother for a moment, I think you will grow up to be as attractive as the Butterfly Wings and as resilient as a Diamond! xx Thanks again for stopping by.

Robin Simonds Fitch said… - I have trouble finding stuff myself. I didn't have it spelled out that the link was for my blog, but that's okay, because it was an old link anyway! The new one is http://www.robinsimondsfitch.com/WP-blog/ Looking forward to reading yours :)

It’s a matter of dialogue.…
