While I can 'post' here via my mobile, for some reason my phone doesn't recognize the TWB email 'send' button. I look forward to touching bases with you upon my return next week. Until then...have a great weekend and happy writings...

Thanks for the comment! I do have a lot of great sites for writers, but the best place for a writer to start is at my site Authors Box. It's like a directory for writers and authors. Check it out at http://www.authorsbox.com
I think you'll find a ton of good guidance there!
Best wishes to you,
Carol

At 2:03pm on January 4, 2009, Rianna said…: The best suggestion I can give for getting the most out of the box: Join in. There are discussions happening all over this place - the forums, the different groups, people's blogs. Critique (constructively), add your two or three cents, and do whatever you can to write. We have people on here who can be counted on to point out spelling and/or grammatical errors; people who can dissect the very core of any writing. We have people who are published, unpublished, and just plain confused as to the whole publishing world. Give your input and assistance when and where you can.

I see you're published. If you see any amateurs, help them out if you can. No one here sees each other as competition, but rather as teammates - all struggling to find our dreams.

Join some of the groups - or create your own. Several different interest groups reside in this little box. This box reminds me of the tardis (Dr. Who reference for those who don't know). Small and insignificant from the outside, but large and wondrous inside.

And I'm taking up your entire comment wall, so I shall hush... for now.
