CHARACTERS

No matter what genre your fiction falls into, we all have one thing in common, we have to populate our work with people. This group is for discussing those characters who add life to our novels.

Julie. Thanks for friending me. You know I admire your blog, and through it your brave spirit and your compassionate nature. I'm happy to be your 'digital' friend. I hope one day to be able to meet with you in person.

Hi, Colleen. I'd like to answer your questions too. 1. What would be your one more wish to come true? I wish people like my novels, when they're published. I have only a certain publisher for one novel, and a 'perhaps' for…

Olga Godim replied to the discussion 'The difference bewteen printing and publishing (cross-posted on other lists)' in the group Small Publishers and Independent Authors

Well, he is right and he is wrong. Most of small publishers these days don't do promotoion, although they consider themselves 'publishers'. They edit the author's text (slightly), format it for Kindle and other e-readers, and set…

HI, Elena. Thank you for inviting me to be your friend. I saw in the Virtual Critique group that you write speculative and looking for a critique partner. We might try it and see if it works for us both - I'm also in need of someone to critique…

Elizabeth. I didn't see your comment on my wall when I wrote mine here. Yes, let's try it. Although I don't write YA (I don't think so), one of the publishers I sent my novel to rejected it because she thought it was YA. LOL. The…

My goals are to be published in the YA fiction/sci-fi, fantasy market, which is the ONLY reason I replied to you!! :) Most of my stuff is unfinished so a critique partner is my strategy for accountability!

Hi, Elizabeth. You know, you have the same name as my daughter. I'm glad to be your friend. And I would definitely like someone to exchange critique, although we'll have to see if it works for us both. What genre fiction do you write in? I…

Olga Godim commented on the group 'Virtual Critique Group'

Hi, everyone. I'm a new member of this group and like you, I'm looking for a critique partner. I write fantasy (mostly). Does anyone here write fantasy or sci-fi? We can read each other's short stories or the beginning of a novel and…

Olga Godim commented on the blog post 'Unpublished Writers: Just a Few Days Left and It’s Only Offered Every Two Years!'

Thanks, Meg. Here it is. Mother-Daughter Minuet Amanda stared at the gray teary lines streaking across the window and hugged herself tightly, but the goose-bumps refused to go away.

Right now, I'm just looking for readers for a short story. I don't have anything novel-length ready to look at yet.

Just email it to me exactly how you want it to my email adress sammispals@yahoo.com and if you want me to use a different picture than is on here then just add it in there and thats it-remember the guidelines are on the discussion where your name is, I just changed it to email because blogger wont cooperate with us for different bloggers. And then dont forget to watch for comments in case you need to repspond. Thats It! I SO appreciate it!

HOW would you feel about doing the Wednesday slot for guestblogger this week? Emily really has too much on her plate and it skips to you, if this is too short of notice let me know.

Thanks Samantha

At 12:26pm on October 6, 2011, Nancy MacMillan said…: Hi Olga, Thank you for your lovely long comment. Sorry I'm so far behind on replies. Working eats up my time, but a necessity.

Marketing seems to be a good thing to know whether you have an agent or self-publish, rather than waiting around for something to happen, at least you have a better chance with a little knowledge. And there's so much you can do without "knocking on doors." The internet is the best tool since the electric light bulb. I'll be posting on this one day soon, places to put your book for the most exposure . . . Good luck and please stop by again.

Guess what? Your question is here!

As a child, what or whom do you think was the one thingor person that led you to be the writer you are today?

And you can incorporate it into your title as long as its pretty well understood what you are supposed to be answering.

I hope that cuts down on your fear! You will be great! I have no worries- :)

See ya around the group and good luck!

First I'd like to say thank you, as a writer I'm sure you know how much it means when someone praises your words. I am a very lucky woman in many ways, my 3 sons are my greatest fans and supporters. My oldest is in his 30's and the other two are right around the corner. They grew up in a home filled with books and music, and have always had a love for the arts. My oldest is an artist, my middle son is in a punk band, and my youngest will no doubt create one of the best fantasy novels ever penned.
