Visionary Fiction Alliance

I'm proud to announce that I've joined a group of talented writers in starting a website aimed at raising awareness of and interest in the genre of visionary fiction. Though visionary fiction has been around for a long time - think shaman stories of ancient times - most agents, publishers and big book buyers don't recognize it as a genre. "No interest," they say.

"If you write visionary fiction or wonder if your work fits into this genre, visit us at the Visionary Fiction Alliance. We haven't officially launced the site yet, but we're open for visitors."

Publication/Think It Real

In his book, Infinite Possibilities, Mike Dooley says, "Manifesting our dreams isn't about hard work--it's about belief, expectation, and above all, knowing the truth about our place in the universe."Dooley's words are the perfect introduction to an exercise we were asked to perform in my seventh Plug In class with Janet Conner: Visit and fall in love with your book's neighborhood. …See More

Twelve Essentials to This Writer's Life--and Sanity

All writers need tools (Or should I say crutches?) to give them a boost when their writing is not going well. In my case, make that twelve. Twelve little crutches to support me as I limp through "The Between," from creating to publishing my work. Morning Journal. First thing every morning, I write in my journal. It's like breathing for me. Most often I start by…See More

It's only been up and running for about 6 months but I love it and how creating it opened me up. Good luck with your decisions towards 'forward movement', sometimes change is exactly what we need. I would love to keep in contact with you but not sure what would be the best way. I have an e mail attached to my website, let me know. Peace to you Margaret. Susan

Though I care to get my work out there, I spend more of my time on the craft. Wish I could find someone to do that part. But guess, as I see other writers are in the same boat.
