Great article! I agree totally. I like books that are good and not by authors that are too famous, just good authors.

The intent of the ludicrous nanowrimo goal of 50000 words is to get writers writing. Face it, most of us wanna be writers work at jobs, raise families, take kids to little league and whatnot that keeps us from being able to focus on writing. Most pe…

I think I could hit 50000 in 30 days if I was able to put in at least six hours per day. When I was committed to writing my book (which I am hoping to be again), I was getting 1000 words in between the hours of 9 and 12 at night. Now, you may not th…

i agree 500-600 words per day is ambicous target but worth aiming for realistically at best

Rose, the idea of churning out 50,000 words in thirty days is ludicrous - especially if you want the words to make sense. If you really want to write a book, here's how: start at the beginning and aim for a modest target of perhaps 1000 words a day.…

My favorite and speciality is poetry, but I like a little short story too

Poetry in Motion.....constant motion

I am a female who loves to write. I am a poet and I am in the process of changing my life. I have problems I need to deal with and writing is helping do this. It is great therapy.

I am a mother, daughter, wife/girlfriend, writer, poet, dreamer, and bitch all rolled up into one.
I feel between here and my renewed commitment to my writing I have grown immensely. I love to read others works and love to accept challenges. I am also an avid reader.

I hope I am a better writer and poet than I am at talking about myself. Please feel free to read my posts and comment freely. I hope you enjoy what you read.

I feel that I am constantly changing and growing and I hope this process never stops. They say you never stop learning and I plan on learning all I can to be the best mother, writer, and wife I can be.

Hi Johnell - re. the practical joke that backfired... A couple of years later, after I'd grown a little more mature and sensible, Halcyon and I enjoyed a not very prolonged but very enjoyable relationship. We shared a love of repartee and good English, as well as a passion for medicine. Thereafter we went our separate ways. Sadly, she died in Angola during the troubles there a few years ago - when she was using her wonderful skill to help the victims of the civil war.

I was in the Seat way back in the day. I don't think you had yet to move in the neighborhood.

You should let everyone else know they better be ready to bring it, too. I'm about to lock this thing down! I already told Dana I'm making this the most memorable session in the history of The Box.

Thank you so much!
Ethel is only a wide spot in the road, but they just made a movie in Clinton again, "True Blood."
It seems this site is better than most. Thank you again. Ross

The Web site should be up soon. I hope. But it's being held in New Orleans, March 4-7, 2010, at the Sheraton New Orleans on Canal Street. Close to everything. There will be a evening get together Thursday night, March 3 and a Send Off Breakfast and Networking Session Sunday morning with all the keynote speakers. If you have more questions, contact me off list at cjparker1@att.net

Thank you for your encouragement... I know that I am practicing procrastination...! I have to start something that is at a site that can pay me though as I could really use a little more money.

I haven't done much exploring here to see what is available here. Mostly I've been noodling around looking for a market for my work. Moslty I'm getting overloaded with passwords for various web sites and not finding a good fit.
