First Novelist Group

Pleasure and pain of writing: discipline, goals, editing, re-writes, and when the blank page stares. Blessed be the freebies groups and advice. What does not kill can make a compelling story. Peaks and pits in publishing and blogging. See More

Self-publishing success

As self-publishing success entices more writers, is agent lure, and submitting to traditional publishers, with the bated-breath of expectation and dread, passé?http://www.beentheredonthat.com/2011/12/self-published-authors-find-e-success.htmlSee More

Hi Marta!  I love it that you had the idea to start a First Novelists group!  Did you know there is one, however?  If you did and you still want to start the group, no worries.  But I thought you might want to check this out:

Thank you for your welcome Julia.

I'm not sure how much I can participate right now but I like the site. I have a deadline to complete a revue on my 160 thousand word manuscript. While I revue it I am also creating a time line, genealogy and short summary of every chapter. Want to get most if not all done in a month or so.  

This year I also want to publish a poetry book and maybe a book on short stories; will see.
