G.G.’s comments from the Bisky's Twitterling's Scribbles! group.

Hello and welcome aboard Polly. Don't give up hope. I heard it can take up to five years before a book/author takes off. You acknowledged knowing your book is good so why stop writing?
I also heard that new authors need at least three books out before it happens...so you see, that should be an incentive to get rid of your author's block. :)

Hello and welcome aboard Amanda. Your book sounds interesting. :)

Hello and welcome aboard Linda. Indeed, there are not many non-fiction writer around. I'd say it's because fiction is so much easier.

Lol

Hello and welcome aboard Adam. Congrats on your pubs. I have to agree with you. The best reward an author can receive has to be seeing people's reaction to their work.

Hello Daniel, and welcome aboard!
Help? Maybe, hopefully. Distract? Most certainly. Beware, Goodreads is addictive!

Hello Summer and welcome aboard. Love those sci-fi!

As for sequels, there's no solution because it's not an issue. :)"

Goodreads looks addicting, and I hope I get used ..."

Goodreads addictive? Oh gosh, that's not the tip of the iceberg. Once or twice since I joined, they had problems with their email notice. No emails were sent to warn that new posts had been made. I think I got crazy during those few days. So yes, GR IS addictive. :)

Sequels are not an issue. Most people love sequels. :)

And to answer the post you made to Shannon, yes, authors should be able to write stand-alone, but we are all at the mercy of our MCs and if they're not done telling their stories, what can an author do but to listen to them? If we don't they won't let us sleep!

Hello and welcome aboard B.C.
LOVE urban fantasy! Good luck with your books. :)

Hello Sheila and welcome aboard!

Writer's block!

Maybe that's why writers sometimes can't write a thing. They wander too far away from their subject and get lost in the wonderful world of dragons and moths.

Hello and welcome aboard Phoenix. :)
There's nothing to be worried about. We don't bite...much. :>

I love the fantasy genre: Pure fantasy, urban fantasy, contemporary fantasy. Anything fantasy! :)

And moths can?

Hello Ellie, welcome aboard and wow you were so young. Not an easy task, especially for such a young writer so congrats and good luck with the re-write.

Sorry Brian, that's not the right answer. If we found her kryptonite, we need to keep it to ourselves (yes, we may use it to get what we want BUT no one else should learn about it). It's our Bisky after all. We need to protect her!

No way! Bisky is scared of moths? Time to write a horror story just for her. :P

Oh boy, if I'd lay down on the sofa looking at my ceiling (which is pretty nice since it's a cathedral ceiling :P) I'd be there all day, all night, all week, and lately, all month too. That would soon turn into depression. :P

I don't know if writer's block is real or not, however, after publishing my second book, I felt empty. Still do. So instead of fighting it, I've decided to take a break and read as many books I can. I feel it coming back but not enough to actually sit and write, but it's a start. I also enrolled in another writing course. (Well, it's the same one I did in February, but a new session and since it was a one time fee, it's free so why not?) I'm worried my lessons will be empty but whatever happens, I hope it will kick my muse a little bit.
Over all, I try not to worry but then again, unlike you all, I never felt I was a writer. I never felt the urge to write (aside from what my MC wants me to tell the world. So maybe it's just 'him' being silent).

Wait until you read 'Jack'!

How did I miss that one?
Hello and welcome aboard Shannon!
