Book of the Month
I just saw this today and I feel so honored. :) When Love Is Not Enough is the M/M romance BOOK OF THE MONTH !!!! I think that is so cool!
So, I actually have questions about that and I am posting this out of curiosity and ignorance. Is the Discussion thread only for the "readers" of the book? I am really wondering, not trying to sound stupid. (Though I may come off that way.) I know there are certain "courtesies" and "rules of engagement" that an author should show, but truthfully, I am not exactly sure what those all are. Remember? New here! I am learning and I don't want to step on toes. I don't want to make enemies. I don't want people thinking I'm an arrogant SOB.
I know not to engage in discussions where I could anger people. Some people like my book, others don't and I "walk away" for anything that I shouldn't say. (Although I MAY have send an e-mail once to L-D about WLINE to explain something. Not sure. But I think she is cool with it.)
But in a "discussion" group is it appropriate to comment? Or should I steer-clear? I was thinking a "thank you" here and there sounds nice but it isn't very informative. Maybe just watching what other people say about my book is helpful to know what people don't understand and can't get so that maybe I can improve on explaining and fleshing out characters more in the future.
Just my thoughts!
So.... If you've read When Love Is Not Enough and you'd like t join in the discussion, go *HERE*
As far as my W.I.P. it is going well. I was hoping to have 50k by March but I don't. :( I do have 47186 words and I think the plot is going well. You know I second guess myself and I am worried it will be boring. :s I need some other "plot point" and I can't think of one. grrrr.
Anyway.... I'm forging ahead!
Peace for now :)

Hey Wade, Congrats on being chosen. This is certainly a book worth talking about. Good news on the WIP. I doubt you could write boring if you tried lol. I have no doubt a plot will come, probably when you least expect it.
Keep typing
Congrats, that's so cool!I'm looking forward to your WIP being completed. I'm sure it'll turn out great.
I think it's appropriate to join the discussions. Also, like you said...the feedback could be helpful in the future.
As for the discussions - I've seen the author make comments. I think it's appropriate.
